There Will Be Sunshine After Rain
posted by Hutch Sat 12th May 2012
With all the recent rain the ground at Ditchling is still very soggy and no cricket was possible this weekend.
The fine weather on both Friday and Saturday has dried up the ponds at the north end of both grounds to the dismay of the local mallard population.
This respite has allowed work to commence on the ground with Pete Masters giving both squares their first cut for almost two weeks, but only with a rotary mower. Hopefully this week will be drier.Newsletter April 2012

The club is pleased to announce the completion of our new 2 lane practice facility in the South East corner of the East field.
The project has received £13,250 funding from Viridor Credits Environmental Company, through the Landfill Communities Fund (see note below). The remainder was raised via our very successful Old Sussex Stars cricket match, which was wonderfully organised by Mike Foreman. We are planning a grand opening ceremony soon, keep checking the website.
Note: Viridor Credits Environmental Company distributes funding through the Landfill Communities Fund. Funding is available for community and environmental projects within ten miles of an active Viridor landfill site. Since 1996 Viridor Credits has allocated over £70m to over a thousand projects across the UK.What's the 200 Club?

Directions to the ground from Brighton & Hove
posted by Hutch Mon 2nd February 2009
The ground (both West Field and new East Field) is in Ditchling, East Sussex about 6 miles north of Brighton & Hove. Heading north from Brighton & Hove, take the turning off the A23 at Pyecombe (This is also the best exit when heading south.) Follow the signs to Clayton then turn right on to the B2112 at Clayton. You are now on the B2112 Clayton to Ditchling road. Take first left at the crossroads by the white cottage into Keymer, then right at T-junction opposite Carrington's garage. The Greyhound pub is on your right as you head towards Ditchling. The ground is on the right-hand (south) side of the Keymer to Ditchling road.
The ground does not have a postcode but is about 200 metres east of BN6 8RE.
