Come and Try Day

We are having our first Come and Try Day on Saturday 1st August this will be from 10.30 to 4pm. We are now hoping to also run (longside the Come and Try) a melee, this will start at 2pm and we will play 3/4 games dependant on numbers and weather. There will be "no charge" for the melee but you can give a donation to the club.

Day 3...The final act

We finished the terrain today. We now have a chose of 8 x 15mt or 10 x 12.5 mt pistes. We will be able to decide on the day on how we want to play. Camera had a flat battery so you will have to wait until next week for the photos

Tuesday is the day

Tuesday the builders move in, we start by digging out the top soil. Then we add the weed membrane. Then we drop in 40 tons of crushed concrete. Then we build the surrounds with 8 x 2 timbers. Then we add 40 tons of scalping's (MOT1). Then we add a few tons of loose grit....exact type not decided yet. Finally we landscape the excess soil so that we can add the grass seed. JOB DONE. Next week we will be playing on the new terrain.

Horsham French Fest weekend

Horsham weekend was again a tremendous success. The weather was hot just a few spots of rain and loads of people wanting to find out how to play boule. Cranleigh ended up with two prospective members, and Horsham may now have its own club. We hope everything goes well for them
