Our Story

The Sports Club was formed in March 1964 by members of the Old Actonians Association, and its affiliated Cricket and Football Clubs to take over the lease of the then Napier Sports Ground, since renamed Old Actonians Association Sports Ground. These founding sections continue to exist under the auspices of OAASC. As the name implies, one-time pupils of the former, but now defunct, Acton County Grammar School then predominated. While close links are maintained with the successor School, there is now no requirement to have been a former pupil or other qualification requirement for membership of the Club.

In 1974 The Club was converted into a Company Limited by Guarantee prior to taking a new lease and building three squash courts. A squash section was formed in 1977 which is managed and financed by the Sports Club. In 1994 the club regeared the lease from the London Borough of Ealing, taking a 130 year ground lease at a peppercorn rent from the 31st March, and is still in this ownership structure.

In 2013 the Old Actonians association ,the original school pupils organisation dissolved and no longer participated in the club. In 2014 the committee was successful in securing the tender for Boddington Gardens sports ground, the former Liverpool Victoria sports club in Acton. As a result the organisation has been able to expand further and incorporate a new sport, Hockey, into the Association.

In 2014 the members resolved to change the trading name of the club to Actonians Sports club in recognition of the changed nature of the operation of the club and to reflects the open nature of the membership.

The Club manages the overall facilities including the bar, catering, ground and building maintenance, finance, entertainment etc. Each section is responsible for organising training, internal leagues and competitions and for selection of teams to represent the Club.

The Club and its affiliated sections are non-political, non-profit making and exist to promote sporting, social and recreative activities.

Any surplus income is used exclusively to maintain and improve our facilities.

The Association continues to strive to add new sports and with the introduction of Padel Tennis in 2026 it has become the only true multi sports club in West London, providing competitive sport for all age groups across a multitude of sports including, Rugby, Football, Cricket ,Tennis, Squash, Badminton, Padel tennis, Hockey and Boxing
