Facilities

The Club have been playing cricket at the Little Twitten since the early 1950’s.  In those early days the changing rooms comprised an adapted Victorian railway carriage in the south-west corner, with several other basic ‘facilities’ (including a chemical toilet).

In 1994, the Club acquired, through the hard work of the then Committee in fundraising,  a second-hand mobile home to convert into a more presentable cricket pavilion, complete with home and away changing rooms, toilet, kitchen and equipment hut.  This was located in the north-easterly position it now occupies. In 1999, additional fundraising enabled us to install showers, to the relief of the more senior players who never thought this would happen, and all those who wished to retire to the Henty public house after the game without being readily identified as having taken part in recent strenuous exercise. 

In 2012, we were successful with a Sport England Lottery bid to the tune of £50,000.  Out of this, the pavilion and equipment hut were extended, resulting in much larger changing rooms that could fit a whole team and their kit in one go, rather than having to change in shifts and risk life and limb tripping over large kit-bags.  A practice strip and net were also installed outside.

Further grants were received in 2018 from the Spen Cama Fund and the Murphy Foundation to install an all-weather non-turf strip.  This is now helping enormously to practise on, to stage Colts’ cricket, and to protect what is a fairly small square from excessive wear and tear.  The grass square itself is maintained by our own hard-working qualified groundsman, with as much help as can be mustered from other Club members.
