Apologies. The computer gremlins got in today. Either that or I did something I shouldn’t have done. In any event, the rwo most recent planning updates got mixed up. The 25th is today’s real update, it was promptly followed by a restoration of the 18th one.

Most of us know that Ickenham has a cricket club (Oak Ave), a rugby club (Ruislip/Uxbridge), tennis clubs (Swakeleys Drive) and a youth football team (playing at various locations). Contact details for these teams can be found on our useful links page.

There are also lots of other sports teams based near our village. Some of these are listed below:
