Blackthorns is proud of the facilities it offers its
members, most of which have been constructed over the years by the self same
members. That doesn't mean we intend to rest there. There are ongoing improvements
being made
to the site and plans for even more, including
an extension to the Clubhouse, currently in progress and the introduction of a
sauna. These will hopefully both be completed during 2006.

From left to right ~ barbecue, snack bar,
clubhouse and shower block
The focus for most of the evening social events is our
clubhouse. It contains plenty of seating and tables for whatever event is
organised, whether it be discos, quiz nights or just get-togethers. A large
kitchen caters for all appetites and also doubles as a snack bar.

The outdoor snack bar provides drinks, ice
creams and snacks.
Next to the clubhouse is the shower block where for just
20p you can enjoy a hot powerful shower, much needed
after a day in the sun. Toilets, including the recently refurbished men's are
also here. A second toilet block is located elsewhere in the grounds.

The swimming pool is popular with all ages
The 20' x 40' swimming pool and surrounding lawns are of
course the focus during the warm days of the Summer, the pool is open from May
to October and is enjoyed by young and old alike.

The new and highly popular children's play
area
Children are certainly not forgotten at Blackthorns, they
have their own clubroom and an outdoor play area which has recently been
refurbished with new commercial standard play equipment.
Our sporting facilities are dealt with on a separate page,
but include courts for miniten, badminton, volleyball and petanque.
