WHERE IS OUR HOME?
Chailey Cricket Club is based in the village of Chailey, East Sussex.
Our tent is pitched behind St Mary’s Church (redundant)on the edge CHAILEY COMMON NATURE RESERVE, North Chailey (BN8 4EY for SatNavers),on the A272 (Lewes Road) approx 200 metres west of its junction with the A275 where you will find THE KING'S HEAD, MAY COTTAGE TEA ROOMS and CHAILEY GARAGE.
The ground enjoy uninterrupted views along the South Downs from Lewes to beyond Devils Dyke. There is ample space for the childen to play in safety away far away from the cricket and traffic. Visit the ground and see for yourself - a tremendous location - one of, if not the best views in the county - takes your mind off of a bad innings!!

LEAGUE / FRIENDLY GAMES
On Saturdays we play league cricket in the Stoner (Mid-Sussex) Cricket League Division 2. We play to win but retain the ethos of a friendly village club. Sundays are devoted to a less intense brand of cricket. Sunday games are more for enjoyment on and off the field. We have a good group of members who gel together well in to a really lovely family club. We would love more of you to joins us and enjoy our spirit of cricket.....especially the social side.

COLTS CRICKET
Although we have volunteers waiting to start this project but the establishment of a colts section involves us wading through a tremendous amount of red tape such as CRB checks. We are extremely keen to get this project off the ground but it is looking more likely that it will be at the start of 2010 season. It is something that IS going to happen. In the meantime, if you wish to register an interest or are willing to help us in this venture, please get in contact at gopi.manthry@gmail.com or chaileycc@talktalk.net In additon / alternatively register as an online member to keep appraised this project and other events happening at Chailey Cricket Club.

The facilities are maintain by volunteers from the Cricket Club and are shared in the summer with the Stoolball Club(Ladies)(for more details on how to join please log on at www.stoolball.co.uk/chaileyladies),and winter by the Senior and Colts Football Clubs. We have plans to improve the pavilion - cost c£400k (www.freewebs.com/chailey250)
