Two disappointing updates. Firstly, our storage container was broken into overnight on 30/31 August and a good amount of our grounds maintenance equipment stolen (strimmer, rotary mower, leaf blower) - second time in a matter of months, so it was probably the same lowlifes.

And then, either this Thursday or Friday, someone has driven into the Hall wall causing extensive damage (and obviously left no note). The disabled toilet will now be out of action for the foreseeable future.

Hopefully our insurance will cover most of this, but the time spent having to deal with it all is incredibly dispiriting and means the few of us that put a lot of time into keeping the hall/field in a usable condition now have much less time to actually improve things.

If anyone has any information regarding either incident, please do PM on here or email [email protected]

Come down to the Sports Field on Sunday 30th August for a Bank Holiday Weekend cricketing bonanza, as the Crabtree Cavaliers take on a Wicking XI in a charity match in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. First ball around 2.30pm. Bar open before, during, and after the match. Teas/cakes available by donation at the interval and a barbecue afterwards. Lovely stuff - see you there!

Very exciting news to bring you: the Lower Beeding Association has been successful in it's application to the Football Foundation and has been granted access to it's Grass Pitch Maintenance Fund!

This means that we be able to undertake an extensive 6-year programme of works to improve the quality of our football pitches (which cover virtually the entirety of the sports field), leading to a better, more resilient, playing surface and securing the viability of the field for sports usage for the next generation.

In total, there could be up to £42,000 spent over the next six years, of which the LBA will need to contribute around £14,000. This makes fund-raising through the 250 Club ever more important (the 250 Club was originally founded in the 1960s to raise funds to establish the sports field). More details on how you can get involved with this to follow in the coming days.

We're super grateful to the Football Foundation and can't wait to get started on creating a field that the whole village can be proud of.
