The Wine Trade Sports Club welcomes any member of any aspect of the drinks trade (currently employed or retired) to participate in a diverse range of organised sporting activities throughout the UK each year.

Our members range from company Chairmen to Bar Managers, Wine Buyers to Chefs, PR to Sales Representatives, so if you are in 'The Drinks Industry' and have an interest in playing sport, you too can be a part of the club.

Sports & Activities

We offer our members a chance to meet customers, colleagues and contemporaries to play regular Cricket fixtures in the summer months, Golf and Squash matches throughout the year, annual Tennis and Real Tennis tournaments and Rugby matches in the Winter season. Other sports occasionally arranged are 5-a-side Football and even a Wine & Spirit Trade Sailing regatta.

Other social events include an Annual Pub Quiz Night (always a classic!), and of course The Wine Trade Sports Club Foundation Walk, a charity walk and really fun day out for family and friends alike which takes place every other year.

Membership

The WTSC is always recruiting new members. To join us is simple; all you need to do is complete a new membership form [Microsoft Word Document] and then subscribe to an annual direct debit fee of just £20. Alternatively life membership is offered at £220.

The Wine Trade Sports Club Foundation

As a charitable club since 1973, the funds we raise are donated to our registered charity The Wine Trade Sports Club Foundation, who in turn make significant annual donations to the Drinks Industry Charity, the Wine & Spirit Trade's Benevolent Society, who raise money for people who have worked in the industry and who through no fault of their own find themselves in financial or physical difficulty and need help.
