Come with me on a journey around the Old Windsor Club to see the facilities that are on offer. From the outside, the club appears as a quite plain brick built two storey building, enhanced in the summer by hanging baskets of flowers, we have outside tables with Umbrellas (for days when the weather is suitable). The building itself is situated between a Catholic Church and a hardware shop in the heart of the village.
The land the building stands on is Crown Land and we pay rent to the Crown Commissioners. Entrance to the club is via the card coded doors on the right of the building and reveals a carpeted reception area .The main lounge lies behind the two glass panelled doors on the left past the door keeper's desk. Entering the corridor straight ahead reveals a members bar on the left and Toilets on the right. A right angle in the corridor brings you to the entrance door of the main hall. Main Lounge. The Lounge is mainly carpeted with a wood
strip flooring adjacent to the bar. The furnishing consists of comfortable
tables and chairs with matching upholstered fixed seating around the periphery
of the walls.
A TV monitor is situated at the corner of the bar giving viewing options for mainly sporting occasions for members entertainment including Sky transmissions. A Fruit machine is available for members only in the lounge. Snooker Hall Stairs at the end of the
lounge lead to the snooker room which sports two full size tables (these are
maintained to an excellent condition by a professional company under contract).
The cost to members, for the use of the tables is 50p pe The club committee room and office lead from the snooker hall. The committee room facility is available for hire by external organisations. Members Bar
Back downstairs into the reception hall we find the Members bar which used to be the reserve of male members over 18 (until political correctness took over). This bar, which is again comfortably furnished, with bar stools and tables and chairs has it's own TV monitor. Board and card games are available for member's use.
