Maidenhead Out & About

A friendly kickabout, open to all levels. Different players each week. Newcomers welcome.

We book the pitch when we hit the minimum of 8 "yes" RSVPs, which we need to do by the day before.

The cost is usually £4-£8, depending how many sign up (£65 is the current booking price, divided by the number of players)

The money will be collected at the end of the game, whether by cash, direct bank transfer (ask for our details) or Paypal as you prefer.

DON'T BE LATE! We need to be there, changed and ready for kick-off at 9:00 PM. If the game is ever cancelled we will let those who have already RSVPd "yes" know.

TO FIND THE PITCH: Come in through the main entrance of Braywick Sports Ground, off Braywick Road. Take an immediate RIGHT in front of the Toby Carvery Stafferton Lodge where the road forks (rather than turning left towards the caged pitches). Head across the mini-roundabout and into the leisure centre car park.

Park up there if you're in a car. You'll see the leisure centre to your left, and the pitches are directly behind it. You can either walk through the centre or around.

If on a bike/foot, follow the road to the left of the leisure centre and make your way round to the back — there are bike racks directly opposite the pitch.

PLEASE BRING:

• Suitable boots for the outdoor 3G pitches. Artificial grass (AG) football boots are strongly recommended as the best option for the surface. Full studs/blades designed for soft ground (SG) would be dangerous for you especially, as well as for others and the pitch. You could get away with wearing firm-ground (FG) or astroturf boots or even trainers for a while, but it won't help your game or your boots!

• Some cash as explained above.

RSVP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

• Do please always RSVP to this event. If you do not RSVP and turn up there is a chance you can't play as the event is already fully booked!

• When you RSVP "Yes", we book a spot on the pitch for you. The organiser is charged for the pitch unless they cancel it at least 48 hours before the game.

• If you change your RSVP to "No" less than 48 hours before play or you are a "No Show" and nobody is able to take your spot, you will be asked to pay the price as if you took part.

BRINGING GUESTS:

Please note than you are more than welcome to bring a friend to play (but only if you add "+1" to your RSVP, so that we don't end up with too many players!). Any guest wanting to take part in any subsequent game will be requested to register with the group

Summer walks currently tend to be approx 4 to 6 mile followed by a drink in a pub at end of route or nearby.

Summer walks tend to be more rural & there may be occasions when the terrain is rough & uneven at times & even in dry weather sheltered rural paths can muddy and / or with puddles so please wear appropriate comfortable footwear 🥾.

These are informal gentle social walks so could take a bit longer than 3mph bearing in mind individual speeds , photo stops etc plus time for a post walk drink. Walks can sometimes be quicker depending on route / terrain etc.

Due to the timing, please eat before walk or bring snacks 🥪 for walk (speaking from experience of fellow walkers being ravenous on after work walks).

Dogs 🐕 permitted (as long as they do not jump up on me as I am personally more a cat person 🙂). Most pubs are dog friendly but I leave that for dog owners to check.

This is an opportunity to break up the working week with fresh air, exercise and face to face company.

Bring your company, chat & laughter.

TO FIND THE PITCH: Come in through the main entrance of Braywick Sports Ground, off Braywick Road. Take an immediate LEFT in front of the Toby Carvery Stafferton Lodge where the road forks (rather than turning right towards the main leisure centre). Follow the road round keeping the pitches on your right and you'll see car parking on your left. For bike racks continue to the end of the pitches and they're on your right. We're usually playing on the centre pitch.

After the previous sucessful events this year with a good turn out, I am making this a monthly activity on this group (apologies that I could not make it in March).

In 2026 I want to discipline myself to setting aside more creative / craft time. Using the creative side of our brains is important for our wellbeing & mental health.

Come join me for a couple of hours of creativity & a natter. Bring a craft / small portable DIY project or even just a mindfullness colouring book & pencils.

If you don't have a project, maybe just come along for a drink, the company, chat & / or inspiration or I may have a spare project you can do (limited no.) or maybe there will be someone else up for joining you in a board or card game. All welcome.
