Winnington Park Recreation Club Announces Closure With Sadness
Existing bookings for this month are still valid. The club will contact people with future bookings and thanked everyone for their past support. The club has been around for 135 years.
John Brunner and Ludwig Mond started the club. They built it for their workers in 1898, as their chemical company was celebrating a milestone. The club quickly became a community hub.
Winnington Park had over 5,000 members in the 1930s. Membership declined, so they allowed others to join. Sportsmen joined initially, then many others did. They added live entertainment and social events.
Local clubs use this venue frequently. Barnton Cricket Club called it a “Northwich institution.” The cricket club hopes activities find new places and wished staff well in their job search.
The new pavilion opened in 1901. Ludwig Mond and John Brunner were there. The Rec has many rooms available, including a concert room, bar, and snooker room.
Yoga, ballet, and Zumba will continue this month. They also plan to keep gym and dance classes. Table tennis, pilates, and pool games also remain, and all events in March will proceed.
