    New Nets
    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.
