Join our Bury Athenaeum WhatsApp Community

From Thursday 22nd October 2026, the club's telephone number will change from 0161 764 4218 to 07349 886481. Please use the new number from this date.

This change also enables us to introduce the Bury Athenaeum WhatsApp Community, with a separate WhatsApp Group for each playing session. Members can receive updates, share information and keep in touch with fellow players.

Members can start joining from Thursday 22nd October. Joining is simple and entirely voluntary.

Joining at the club: A printed Joining Guide, including a QR code and instructions, will be available next to the TD's desk. Scan the code, join the Community, select your playing-session WhatsApp Group and request to join. A Group Admin will approve your request.

Joining remotely: Send an SMS to a Group Admin, whose contact details are available in the Joining Guide. They will reply with a WhatsApp Community invitation link.

Members attending more than one playing session can join multiple WhatsApp Groups.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new WhatsApp Community!
