Join the Sussex Cricket Society now and enjoy some great events this winter

The Sussex Cricket Society is opening its doors to new members this year and with such an exciting line up of guests planned this winter, now is the perfect time to join.

The Sussex Cricket Society was formed on 6 April 1965 by Alan Oakman, the former Sussex and England cricketer.

The aims of the Society are "to further cricket interest and enthusiasm and to provide a source of contact between cricket lovers”.

To this end the Society holds 6 monthly meetings from October through to March.

The Society has a great programme lined up for this winter: Following on from the recent AGM, the next event is on Wednesday 15th November when Mark Ramprakash (Middlesex, Surrey and England) will be speaking at an afternoon tea starting at 2.15pm in The Spen Cama Pavilion.

The tickets cost only £15 for members, and details of how to sign up (by the 6th November) will be sent to all new members when joining the Society.

• On Thursday 14th December there is a lunch for Sussex Cricket Society members concentrating on the excellent book published in 2022 about the County Ground at Hove: “The Field of Dreams” the speakers will be the authors, Patrick Ferriday & James Mettyear.
• Then in 2024, events starts on Wednesday 10th January in grand style with a lunch. Former England captain David Gower is the speaker.
• On February 14th it’s another lunch with a well regarded speaker, this time Geoff Miller (Derbyshire, Essex and England).
• In March, when the date will depend on Sussex’s pre-season arrangements, an afternoon tea with Sussex Head Coach Paul Farbrace as speaker, will round off the winter’s entertainment.  Event details (prices, booking information) will appear in the monthly newsletter issued roughly six weeks before an event.

To gain access to these events you will need to be a member of Sussex Cricket Society which you can do by following this link to the Society Website and paying an annual membership from just £20.

You will from then on automatically also receive the informative newsletter which is sent out to all our members each month. The events themselves vary in price depending on catering costs and all will take place at The 1st Central County Ground in Hove.

As you can see and with over 200 members, the Society is looking forward to the winter. If not already a member we hope you too will enjoy and support the great work the Sussex Cricket Society does by joining here: https://www.sussexcricketsociety.org/
