Cricket

We are a small village team, based in Hadlow Down, nr Uckfield in East Sussex. We have one League side and play Sunday’s whenever we can. We are a really friendly and welcoming bunch – we welcome all players of all ages and abilities. We particularly like introducing and re introducing Adults to cricket! Do get in touch if you would like to join us for a net or match. Nets and practices usually take place in Brighton.

Remember the water problem at the beginning of the year? The Parish Council have managed to organise a public meeting with the Head of Central Operations for South East Water. A number of sessions have been held in the local area but not in Hadlow Down. The Parish Council felt it was important that villagers had the opportunity to hear from South East Water as to why there were water shortages earlier in the year and what the company is planning to do to ensure this doesn’t happen again. The Head of Central Operations will give a presentation which will be followed by a Q&A session. Please encourage villagers to attend as this will be villager’s chance to express their views and South East Water have kindly agreed to hold an extra event in Hadlow Down.

Bonfire

The Annual Bonfire Celebrations are organised by The Playing Field Committee with the support of volunteers. It takes place at The Playing Field and is one of our annual fundraising events. Residents meet at the New Inn to collect torches and then form a procession to the Field. On arrival at the Playing Field all torch bearers are invited to circle the Bonfire prior to the traditional Bonfire Cry being recited, then, the torches are cast onto the fire.  An organised  fireworks display follows.

It’s run by a committee of trustees with much help from our friends and volunteers.

Village Trust and Archive

In forming the Hadlow Down Village Trust our aim was to record the memories of the village and its people in sound, vision and print for future generations, and to preserve vital oral history and accounts of village life in the twentieth and twenty first century.

The original idea came from Eddie Westfield who felt strongly that we record this type of social history, and retain interesting documents and photographs for future generations. A Trust was formed in May 2018 and our first task was to secure the wonderful archive of Peter Gillies, author of the excellent HadlowDown: An Autobiography. We have been well supported by local people who have donated or lent us old photographs and material to scan and archive, and shared their stories.

We aim to share the images and stories with you here, if you have any memories, stories, pictures, documents or ephemera you would like to pass on to us please do get in touch.
