CRICK-FIT – calling all Horley and local girls and ladies! Crick-fit is back for the summer for the second year! Crick-fit is an informal sporty session every which takes place every Thursday evening at Horley Cricket Club. This is designed to be a fun evening of activities which are cricket based. Run by Claire Bottoms from Hornton. All girls and ladies from ages 5-75 welcome!! The first time it gets up and running is tonight! So come along at 6.30 and see what it’s like.
A BIG thank you to everyone who rolled out of bed on a Sunday morning for the Michael Hardinge Trust’s fundraising fry-up!
Over 50 people arrived at the School House to enjoy a cooked breakfast with friends and neighbours! It was lovely to see some new faces together with regular supporters.
The event raised nearly £700 which will help the Trust support Horley’s children throughout their education and to also maintain the School House as a vital village amenity.
We are also very grateful for the generous donations we received and for the wonderful sponsorship and delicious sausages from “debbie&andrew’s” who support rural community initiatives. Do take a look at their website www.debbieandandrews.co.uk for details of their products and for where “debbie&andrew’s” sponsorship is also making a difference. See their post about the breakfast https://www.debbieandandrews.co.uk/community/571-may-day-breakfast-sizzles-up-700-for-horley-village
The Trustees could not hold such events without the help of their families who mucked in with everything from frying eggs, to putting up bunting, to washing-up and also making a last minute dash for more sausages!
With many people asking “when is the next one?!” the Trustees will be looking to their diaries …. and to their feathered egg-layers!…..to set a date!

On Thursday 24th March, we launched an appeal to raise £300,000 to build our much-needed new pavilion. This exciting new project will transform the facilities at the club and will be fitting for a club that serves so many cricketers, young and old, from Horley and many other local village communities. Many friends of Horley CC have already involved themselves in the pavilion appeal.
There are 6 ways that YOU can help:
We do hope that you can support your brilliant local cricket club to develop new facilities and through this, to secure its future for generations to come.
