HOME     NEW GROUND
SUSSEX YOUNG CRICKETERS MEETING 14/05/02
Progress continues at the new ground.
 

• The top soil has now been levelled and treated ready for planting
• The land will be sown in August 2002 rather than immediately as a dry spell could cause the grass seed to become patchy
• The main field will have a square of at least10 wickets
• Each wicket will be individually laid.
• A pavilion will be built between the two fields providing access directly on to each playing area.
• The main field has been raised and a gentle bank now leads on to the second field
• A football field will be available for use on the second field
• Stoolball will also be played at the ground.
• It is hoped that by July/August 2003 the ground will be ready for use for cricket. It may well be ready earlier for stoolball.
• The greatly reduced ground plan shows the two playing areas - the circle of dashes with the squares outlines- rectangular boxes
• On the smaller ground the football pitch is marked in
• The dark box is the pavilion.
• The 3 shaded strips are all weather nets.
• Car parking is to be provided to the left of the pavilion.
