John O'Ds Review Of
Turners Hill (W.Sussex) |
Location
|
Major's Hill opposite Tully Farm.
Concealed entrance past church. 5 minutes away from 'The Crown' pub.
Church Road off the B2110. 15 miles from Reigate Hill.
(Turners Hill have played Cricket
for 100 years but this is their 3rd ground.)
|
|
Pavilion |
Built in the last 10 years with
assistance of a mid-Sussex Council grant. Set in a large ground (5
acres)-The Paddock-Hurst estate. Nice view of the North Downs. No bar
though!
|
|
Changing Room
|
One of those strange doors that
folds down the middle. Plenty of chairs, some broken but not by us!
|
|
Showers
|
Shared with home team. Push button
style - Hot - Large spider in corner!
|
|
Tea
 |
Sandwiches. Plenty of cheese, enough
for second helpings.
|
|
Nearest Pub
 |
The Crown - Very popular in centre
of Turners Hill on a busy road junction. B2110. Potential accident black
spot.

Odd spot
|
The Hot tap in the gents toilet
which would not turn off! As the flow became more intense and with a
possible flood about to happen whilst out guests were out fielding at
the time, John O'D was forced to turn the water off at the stop-cock!
(We did inform Turners Hill after the game - in case they are reading
this and are wondering why the showers are no longer working!) |
