A planning application has been submitted relating to the rebuilding of the Holland Sports Club (HSC) changing facilities and clubhouse. Whilst remaining on the existing footprint, it will be a new building to include a number of changing facilities (home and away, referees/umpires), physio room, meeting room and a larger café/bar and hospitality space. Also proposed is a mezzanine to house a state-of-the-art gym to support all HSC clubs as well as for the benefit of the wider village community.

The Holland Sports Club relocated to the existing site in 1963 and has grown exponentially from the original Cricket and Tennis clubs formed in 1860 and 1920 respectively.  HSC is now also home to the Barton Rugby Club, Barton Rovers Football Club and the Holland Tug of War Club and is a key part of our village community promoting sporting facilities (both competitive and recreational) for all age groups. Our facilities are also available and used by those from neighbouring communities.

HSC and all its associated clubs are growing strongly with success across the board however our existing facility is old, tired and no longer fit for purpose. The cost of maintaining it is becoming unmanageable, and it will certainly not see us into the future which is looking so bright for our affiliated sports teams.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our fantastic Fundraising Quiz Night, brilliantly hosted by the one and only Rev Andy! With laughs, friendly rivalry, and some serious quizzing brainpower on display, we’re thrilled to say we raised an amazing £1,076!

All funds are going towards our exciting project, a brand new clubhouse for the Barton sports community. We're so grateful for your support, every penny counts!

Keep in touch… more fundraising events are on the way soon. Let’s keep the momentum going! Join in and spread the word. Barton we can do this!
