The Stratford Recreation Association Social Committee plans social events throughout the summer dedicated to providing opportunities for members to build relationships within the community. Social events are not subsidized by member dues and may charge an additional fee to cover costs. If you are interested in hosting, organizing, or helping with an SRA Social Event, please email president@stratfordrec.org.
SRA Social is looking for "hosts" for this summer. Each season, we look to our members to help preserve the long-standing traditions and create new events and themes.
"Host" an event at SRA. Have you always thought, "Hey, SRA would be a great place for a barbecue/grill off/beer or wine fest/luau pig roast/Pickleball tournament/poker night/ Scrabble/movie night/etc. ?" With a new season comes new ideas! If you are interested in organizing a social event for the SRA community, please reach out to the president or vice-president -the earlier in the season, the better! We can help you with all of the details from promotion to registration - you just supply the ideas and the man (or woman) power! Social "hosts" will receive guest passes for hosting a successful event. This is a fun way for members to step up and create something that will continue to build traditions for our community!

PAVILION RENTALS FOR PRIVATE FUNCTIONS
Starting Tuesday, May 27, 2025, you can request half of the pavilion area to be reserved for a two-hour block by SRA members for private parties during normal pool hours. All parties require a pavilion rental. The pool will not be closed to other members during your party. Like always, the grills can be used on a first-come/first-served basis; glass is not permitted. No helium balloons inside the pavilion, or any other items that may inadvertently cause costly damage to the facility. The Shark Shack is NOT accessible during rentals, including the use of refrigerators. THE PAVILION MAY NOT BE RESERVED FOR ANY PART OF MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, THE 4TH OF JULY, LABOR DAY WEEKEND, OR DURING TEAM OR SRA SOCIAL EVENTS.
The cost to reserve the space is $100 (non-refundable). All non-member guests require a guest pass. The host will be expected to have enough guest passes in their MemberSplash account to cover entrance to the facility for non-members of their party. Members are responsible for their guests following the rules & regulations of SRA at all times. Requests for pavilion rental with an expected attendance of a certain size (25+ people) require pre-approval by the SRA Board, to ensure adequate lifeguard staff will be scheduled. Requests are typically responded to within one week of the application being submitted. REQUESTS WILL BE PROCESSED ON A FIRST-COME/FIRST-SERVED BASIS, AND RESERVATIONS ARE NOT CONFIRMED UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION EMAIL AND YOUR EVENT APPEARS ON THE SRA CALENDAR. Please check the SRA calendar for availability before submitting your request. The Business Manager will not check for requests until the first work day, Tuesday, May 27th. NOTE: Please be sure to check your spam, promotions, and other email folders for an email from "buiness-manager@StratfordRec.org" as this is how you will receive confirmation.
