The club is very ambitious and are always looking to improve at both playing & facility levels.
The club is situated in the heart of Watford. We are ideally situated as a family club. The town centre with it's excellent shopping centre is 5 minutes walk from the ground and the vast Cassiobury Park with paddling pools, childrens play area, canal and walks in Whippendell Woods is just outside the club entrance. For the late evenings, the thriving bar & club scene of Watford is also just a very short walk (stagger!!) from the clubhouse.
Within the club itself are other sports facilities including Gymnasium, Sun Beds, Squash, Tennis & Football. The clubhouse is open 7 days a week throughout the year.
