The Ups Club Constitution
& Mission:
The Ups Club and pH Bar (formerly the Downs Club)
provides the sports and social facilities listed above for its members who are either
ex-staff (Associate), Honorary or Corporate (current staff and family) of The
ICR, The RMH, SGH and a few other locally affiliated bodies. These facilities
are kindly supported financially by the RMH and ICR and are based on the Sutton
site. Some of the activities are offered by private organisations, which will
be subject to different charges. Most of the activities are offered onsite,
however some sports have matches organised at local venues. All details are on
the relevant activity pages (click above for info).
