Pavilion
 |
The pavilion
is Council owned - so not very inspiring. Looks better from outside than
in. |
|
Changing Room 
|
Graveney
have the privilege of 2 changing rooms, both small. A bit like Strenue C.C.
set-up. Kit-bag in one changing room - the
sensible players in the other room next door.
|
Showers
|
Five
between 22 players. Too hot? Shower area a bit dingy. |
|
Tea
 |
Got a good
vote. Good selection of Sandwiches, even prawn, plus Twiglets, Sausage
Rolls, many Cakes, on first visit! |
Pubs
and Restaurants
The
Malthouse

The Pilgrim

|
The Malthouse,
Mill Lane, Dorking. Back street pub, near football ground - young peoples
pub, pool table, fruit
machines, T.V. All day breakfast, long cocktails £3. All food under £4. The
wearing of Baseball Caps is banned after 7p.m.!
Car park used by cricketers for 'long walk' to Meadowbank
pavilion.
After the game the teams go to 'The Pilgrim' near Dorking West
Station. Old Fashioned Pub with real ale, good food and a good atmosphere.
Post
match Curry
in 2002 was recommended and booked on a mobile phone by a passing local!
The Khyber Pass was exceptionally good and comes highly recommended if you
are looking for a very good meal in Dorking.

Odd spot |
The
distance - half a mile uphill - to reach the pavilion/pitch on foot. Must
bring a supermarket trolley for the kit-bag and coffin next year. |
