John O'Ds Review Of Burgh Heath

Location

SM7 1AD

 Tattenham Way, Off the A217, 8 miles from Reigate. Meet at 'The Olive Tree', Brighton Road, Banstead.

Pavilion

 The former pavilion was from WW II and used as a potato store during war years !  It was sadly burnt down in an  arson attack. Burgh Heath have planning permission to build a new pavilion with a bar. It may be ready for the 2009 season.

Changing Room 

 In Temporary Council Block. More room than the old pavilion.

Showers

 None at the pavilion but see 'Odd Spot' below.

Tea

 Salmon and balsamic vinegar sandwiches. Lemon Curd Cake on 2008 visit.

Nearest Pub

 The former Wheatsheaf Inn on the main dual carriageway A217 is now called The Olive Tree and is a Tapas Bar.

 Burgh Heath is a revived fixture. Prior to 2005 the previous visit was 16th July 1994.

Odd spot

 Showers are available, but in another pavilion some 500 yards across the cricket pitch!
 The sight of players holding various size towels across their essentials was enough to clear the the park of small children and their grandparents! This might still happen when the new pavilion is built as no update on showers.
