SUSY Radio attended the Gatwick Diamond Expo held on Wednesday, 2nd April at the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley.

Over 100 local companies were represented, all selected for their service, quality and reputation.

The exhibition was opened at 9.30am by Rt Hon Henry Smith MP and remained open until 5:00pm that afternoon.
It was an opportunity for company representatives to “network”, and to find new customers and suppliers.

The event was supported by Crawley Borough Council, Gatwick Diamond Business, Federation of Small Businesses, BNI Sussex and the local Chambers of Commerce, and it is hoped that the Gatwick Diamond Expo will become a regular occasion on the local business calendar.

Merstham Cricket Club will be celebrating its 150th anniversary this year with several special events.

Geoff Miller, who recently stepped down as chairman of selectors for England, has been confirmed as the guest speaker for the club’s anniversary dinner and dance, at Reigate Hill Golf Club on Friday August 15.

In September, Merstham will host the Cup Final of the Fuller’s League, the competition in which the first team plays.

And to start the season, the club will hold two NatWest Cricket Force weekends. The first, at its picturesque Quality Street headquarters, will be on April 5 and 6. The idea of these weekends is that clubs encourage their members and the local community to help prepare their grounds for the season.

Merstham now has six senior teams, a youth development XI, a disability side and sides from under eights upwards.
