No Dogs here at the centre.

With a heavy heart we have to post this comment concerning NO DOGS here at the centre.
Dogs at Bubwith Leisure and Sports Centre DO NOT go together 😤
We run football events on our playing field with North Duffield Little Dragons weekly, joggers and walkers alike use our running track daily. We have a NO DOGS sign at the main entrance of the car park AND at the footpath at the top of the playing field, by the footbridge towards the Bubwith Rail Trail.
Prioritising Children: Sports fields are vital community spaces, and rules are put in place to protect children and athletes who use them.
Toxocariasis: Dog poo can contain roundworm eggs, leading to toxocariasis, an infection that can cause blindness, especially in children who play in contaminated soil or sand.
Bacteria & Parasites: Dog waste can spread E. coli, hepatitis, and other bacteria, posing risks to anyone using the field.
We DO NOT provide poo bags, why should we when we don’t want dogs within this community facility?
Sorry to state again, but NO DOGS, even on a lead.
Simply NO DOGS!!!

2025 Indian Dinner Dance with Surj and Gusharan in November

INDIAN DINNER DANCE

Saturday 22nd November saw the very first Indian Dinner Dance held at Bubwith Leisure & Sports Centre and it was absolutely fabulous!

The people of Bubwith and beyond really embraced the whole experience by dressing up and dancing the night away to a mix of Bhangra & Dance classics alongside the beat of the Dhol (drum) – Abba’s Mamma Mia accompanied by Indian Dhol was something to hear and dance to!

Delicious food, amazing atmosphere and a real sense of community unity and support. Thankyou to everyone who helped to make this community evening one of the best in 2025.

Thank you again!

Surj, Gursharan and the team at Bubwith Leisure Centre

2025 Bubwith’s Bash

This Fun Day was really well received by the community and we estimate that 225 adults and 75 children attended.
The fun day set up was great and so many people came along at 8am to help set up tables, chairs, gazebos etc and this ensured we were ready for the start.
The day was aimed at families and many others attended as well, the children loved the bungee jumping plus spent so much time in the inflatables, they loved handling reptiles and the face painters were busy. The clown entertained in small groups and the disco kept up a good background sound to match the atmosphere
Children experienced so many different things that were outside of their normal life and their parents and friends were able to enjoy a social afternoon knowing that their children were in a safe environment.
We had 4 volunteers dressed as characters from the Jungle Book and this went down well with adults and children alike.
Speaking to volunteers before and during the event they enjoyed working together to provide a reason for residents to come together and meet each other in a relaxed atmosphere.
Our local Church provided food and hopefully made much needed funds for the Church plus our tennis club set up a barbecue as the organised activities finished and many people stayed on into the early evening to continue socialising.
A truly brilliant community day.

 

A full report will follow from the amazing village event held on Sunday, 31st August.
