We have now appointed a principal contractor based in Aylesbury to build our padel facility. They are due to start on site on 12th May and hope to be finished early July. Two additional Ladies’ and One Men’s changing rooms with toilet and shower access are expected to be completed during the same period by another contractor. The courts will then go through a testing / proving process and all being well will have a soft opening mid to late July while our submitted evidence to discharge our planning conditions are considered by the council.

We are going to have a Ground-Breaking Ceremony on Wednesday 7th May. It would be great to see you all there – please bring a spade! For those not playing hockey that night please do come down for 7:30pm. The ceremony itself will happen immediately after hockey has finished, probably 8:15pm ish followed by our normal Wednesday night BBQ.

Over the coming weeks, the Padel Working Group will continue to give you updates on progress and how you can book to play Padel. If you have any questions or are interested in getting involved please contact padel@berkohockeyclub.com
