Recreation

The Temple Fortune Club is a private sports club established in 1922, offering bowls, squash and tennis and is located at 122 Bridge Lane in Temple Fortune. It is for members only and does not have 'pay and play' facilities in any section.

Temple Fortune Football Club (www.tffc.co.uk) were formed in December 1968 at Princes Park in Temple Fortune NW11 by a group of local youngsters who originally held kick-abouts and small-sided games in the park since the mid-1960s. After a few years of playing friendlies, the club ventured into Sunday league football in 1976 by joining the Maccabi (Southern) Football League and were founder members of the Maccabi Masters Football League (veterans) in 1999. Over the course of its history, the club has run a First team, Second team and an Old Boys team, three teams being its maximum in any single season. TFFC has played home matches at various locations in the London Borough of Barnet, namely Bethune Park, Childs Hill Park, Hampstead Heath and West Hendon Playing Fields. In more recent times, the club has had home venues at Hatch End and Whitchurch Playing Fields under the London Borough of Harrow. The traditional colours of Temple Fortune FC since 1985 have been yellow shirts and red shorts, although in 2006 the club reverted to its original league colours of green and white to mark 30 years of league participation. In 2008 TFFC celebrated its 40th anniversary by holding a commemorative tournament back at its birthplace, namely Princes Park.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:

    “Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
    —Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)

    “Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
    —Angela Davis (b. 1944)
