Over the last fifteen years, Chiddingfold Cricket Club has grown hugely from a few dozen men playing 50 matches a year to over 400 girls, boys, men and women playing over 350 games. It has been transformational on many levels, cementing the club at the heart of the Chiddingfold community, creating a new generation of cricketers and spreading the joy of cricket to everyone.

A great problem to have, but we have issues with our capacity for hosting matches and training. 'Home' matches are mostly played at third-party venues with no security of use. Coupled with this is an anticipated substantial increase in population, and demand for cricket, from planned housing developments within the Club's catchment area.

We are progressing plans to develop the old golf driving range site to the south of Chiddingfold into a state-of -the-art cricket and community facility to secure the future of cricket for girls, boys, men and women for another 220 years. You can read all about the project on our new dedicated website.

Having completed a positive feasibility study and pre-app planning process with Waverley Borough Council, we now need your support.

We have launched a new community engagement process to gauge local support for the project and to help shape our proposals to maximise benefits to our members and the wider community. Please complete the consultation survey accessed from the website and ask all your family members to do the same.

We have also launched a fundraising campaign to secure the approximately £60,000 required to take the project through to the formal planning application stage. We would be hugely grateful for donations to the campaign to help make this a reality.

Thank you!
