WORDS FROM our Community
TESTIMONIALS
Dont’ take our word for it – here’s what they have to say:
My children threw me a surprise 60th birthday party here and it was lovely. The venue is nice and intimate with fantastic views across the marsh and plenty of space for the children to play.”
Lynne Skillett
Local Resident
Having lived in the village for over 25 years, I have witnessed the evolution of the Pounds Leas and had the benefit of using every part of the facilities. From the over 30’s football, weddings on the field and many parties in the bar, every aspect is well run and a fantastic asset for the village.”
Mark Bolam
Local Resident
‘I am an L.T.A. licensed tennis coach and I work around the Ashford area. I have had a tennis coaching programme at the Hamstreet tennis courts since 2006, which is well attended all year round. At the moment there are 3 different squads ranging from ages 5-16, as well as some adult coaching.’
