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.Under 11s Triumph

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.
