Seats installed at Piddinghoe Avenue 

We took delivery yesterday of 350 seats which were kindly donated by Sussex County Cricket Club. 43 have immediately been installed in the existing under-cover area of the ground, with a further 14 going on the raised concrete area on the west side of the turnstile entrance. We are investigating the possibility of extending this area, which could potentially hold 70 seats (although initially wouldn't be under-cover) The remaining seats will be held, and used in future projects - as finance permits.

Work is still scheduled to continue on the 2 stands planned for the north side of the ground which will accommodate 114 seats (separate from the ones donated) - so bringing us in line with the County League requirements.

We would like to thank Sussex County Cricket Club for their kind donation, and thanks also to Jim Heyburn (who handled negotiations with them), John Snell, Ian Gilmour, Dean Gilmour, Shaun Saunders, Pete Edwards and Daisy for their help in transporting the seats to Piddinghoe Avenue.

*** Maintenance was carried out today on the floodlight column which caused the postponement of last nights game with Rye United and it seems the lights are now back in full working order
