Chairman’s Announcement – Premises Licence Granted
Dear Members
I am pleased to share some positive news regarding the future operation of Cheam Sports Club. The London Borough of Sutton supported by the Metropolitan Police recommended moving away from the outdated Club Premises Certificate and have now granted our Premises Licence, with no objections received during the consultation period. We thank them for their guidance. This marks an important step forward for the Club and strengthens our ability to serve members, guests, and the wider local community.
This change gives us greater flexibility in how we run the bar and social spaces. The Premises Licence is the standard licence used by community venues. It simplifies our operations, reduces administrative burden and gives us a more flexible foundation for the future. It is a clearer modern licensing framework.
As first and foremost a member of Cheam Sports Club who has chosen a section to play a sport, this means more welcoming access for you. This makes it easier for friends, family, visiting teams, and community users to enjoy the Clubhouse themselves alongside our Members.
We can now host a wider range of social events, section celebrations and community activities without relying on repeated Temporary Event Notices. This opens the door to more live music, social evenings, fundraisers and section-led gatherings.
The ability to welcome guests and host more events supports the Club’s financial sustainability. This benefits every section through improved resources, better facilities and a stronger long-term outlook. It should also increase membership of your section of the Sports Club.
This licence gives Cheam Sports Club more freedom, more flexibility, and more opportunities, while preserving the traditions and member-led structure that define us. It positions the Club strongly for the years ahead and supports the continued success of sport at Peaches Close.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

CASH / CREDIT ON MEMBERSHIP CARDS
Following a successful 6 month trial, we are pleased to announce that with effect from Monday 9 January, we will be offering all Members the option of transferring cash to their Membership Card for hassle-free purchases over the bar. You can also top-up via debit or credit card if that’s preferable - any deposit you make will give you a receipt by way of confirmation. You can also request a report of transactions that you have made by visiting the bar during opening hours.
We are setting the initial top-up limit to £150. We can cancel any Member cards that are lost or stolen within seconds of it being reported and the credit balance and accrued loyalty points will automatically be transferred to the new card issued by one of the managers on duty. Any cash top-ups need to be in note form and in round amounts of £10.
The Members who agreed to participate in the trial are very satisfied with the security and accuracy of the facility and we believe that this will prove popular for a number of you who prefer to budget differently and deal in cash. Transaction recording is completely secure and we have safeguards in place to protect and reassure you so you can rest assured that it’s only you that’s spending your money!
This is a practice that’s very common at other Clubs and is an enhancement to our Member offering - a benefit of being part of the Club, whether it be via a playing or social subscription. We will return to cash ‘proper’ as a means of payment in due course but we are facing logistical issues with our bank; we anticipate that these will be resolved fairly soon.
Please see any Manager on duty if you have any questions or concerns.
