Chesham Town Guide 2022/23

Chesham Stags - Your local Rugby
and Netball Club
This season 2022/23 will mark the Stags celebrating 40
years representing our Town in Local and National rugby
competitions. More recently the club launched its
Netball activities for Adult Women and selective youth
age groups.
The “Stags” are extremely proud of their record for fair
play and sportsmanship and reputation of being “Bucks
friendliest club”. Our founding president, Councillor
John Downes, said at the launch of the club on the 22nd
Oct 1981,
“I can think of no greater honour than that of playing
for one’s town, unless it’s playing for one’s country”.
This simple statement is remembered with a plaque
which is displayed in our new clubhouse.
30 years have passed since the Stags moved to its
current home at Chiltern Hills Academy. The Academy has
undergone a transformation over the years. The education
program, buildings and sports facilities are superb.
The club has a close relationship with the Academy
and have a long-term lease to use their Sports ground.
On the strength of this agreement the club and our
supporters raised the funds to build a new clubhouse.
This includes superb changing rooms and a social area
overlooking the sports ground.
Our clubhouse is a great example of a Community
sports club working with a Community College to
provide Chesham youth with better sports facilities.
Nearly ten years ago, we launched our “DEER
FRIEND” supporters club. More than 40 local Chesham
companies and 400 plus individual members participate.
We look forward to welcoming you
to Bucks Friendliest Club!
