Merstham Cricket Club Bank Holiday Open Day

Merstham Cricket Club is inviting former players to take part in its annual Bank Holiday Open Day and Memorial Game on Sunday August 28.
Waitrose, sponsors of the ECB, promotes club open days and the Quality Street club chooses to combine this with a match in memory of those who have died and who have made substantial contributions to the club. The supermarket chain provide t-shirts, bunting, a Kwik Cricket set and money towards the cost of food, which will include a tea to be put together by Margaret Garrett, whose husband Terry was a long-standing committee member before his death early in 2015.
The day will have two matches. In the morning a combined U12s and U13s team will take on the U14s, starting at 10am. In the afternoon a game for adults will take place from 1pm, being 35 overs a side.
This is an excellent occasion for former players to turn out for a friendly match, or for retired players to enjoy a convivial day reviving memories with fellow former players and current members.

Anyone who wishes to take part can contact Merstham Cricket Club Communications Manager Ian Lamont at

Tilgate Glasshouse Transformation Project

A project to transform an old lean-to glasshouse into a 21st century glasshouse and centre for horticultural training at Tilgate Park in Crawley, was officially opened last week (on Monday 8th August), by the Mayor of Crawley, Cllr Raj Sharma.

Already, five local unemployed people have begun training and there are plans to offer further horticulture-based traineeships from September.

At the same time, produce being grown in the glasshouse goes straight to the Walled Garden Community Café next door, giving visitors the chance to taste the freshest possible salads and vegetables.

The work, undertaken by environmental charity Groundwork South and funded with £26,500 from Grundon Waste Management through the Landfill Communities Fund, was completed earlier this year.
