Wine Trade Sports Club
Welcome to the WTSC website
Oporto Cricket Squad
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 even a Wine & Spirit Trade Sailing regatta. Other sports occasionally arranged are 5-a-side Football and Rugby.
Our annual get together is the AGM, hosted by the WTSC Committee, normally taking place in central London each April. It is always a great night of fine wine and food allowing a chance to meet friends, welcome new members and review the sporting year's performance whilst looking ahead to the next year's sporting calendar.
Other social events include an Annual Pub Quiz Night (always a classic!), and of course the Wine Trade 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 Foundation
As a charitable club, the funds we raise are donated to the Wine Trade 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.
