Hello everyone, it’s Jack and Sophie here!
As some of you may have known this day was coming, today is the day that we, as a family, officially say goodbye to not only the Prestbury Village Club, which has been such a huge part of our lives for many years but also to the place we called home during the time our dad ran the Village Club.
Today, we say goodbye to so many memories we’ve made here as a family, from the first day of high school, birthdays, waking up on Christmas Day, and so many incredible moments that happened behind the doors of 2 Bollin Grove.
The Club has been central to our lives. It has been an anchor point for our family and friends over the years; a place where we have laughed, cried, sung, danced, celebrated, and raised more than a couple of glasses together.
It breaks our hearts that our departure from the Club has had to happen this way, however as our dad settles into his new home and adjusts to his new way of life, we close this chapter for him and the doors to 2 Bollin Grove and the Prestbury Village club one last time.
I want to write this with gratitude. Gratitude and appreciation to every single person who has supported the Club, supported us, and been part of our journey, whether from the very beginning or in recent years.
The Club has unforgettably been such an important part of village life for so many years. From football teams and snooker leagues, to darts, poker nights, birthday parties, christenings, Friday nights at the local, and 2pm kick-offs on a Saturday, and the list goes on. Writing this now has made me realise just how much the Club meant, not only to us as a family, but to so many people from the village and much further afield.
It was never just a building. It was a place where people came together, made memories, celebrated milestones and, simply, felt at home.
For that, we will always be grateful.
As a family, we feel incredibly lucky to have experienced the privilege of calling such a special place our home, and to have played a small part in its history.
Right now, it is unclear what the future holds for the Village Club. From today onwards, that is sadly out of our hands. But whatever happens next, and whoever takes the Club forward, whether that be future landlords, tenants, or something completely different, we only hope they can feel and understand the love that has existed within those walls for so many years.
Thank you, 2 Bollin Grove and Prestbury Village Club, for the memories, the laughter, the tears, the celebrations, the friendships and, most importantly, for being our home.
I raise one more glass to say cheers to the many years of memories x
Love,
The Cavs
