John O'Ds Review Of Westcott

Location

Milton Street on A25 Dorking to Guildford road.

 9 miles from Reigate. 

Pavilion

The pavilion was newly built in the eighties after the previous one burnt down (arson suspected). The new pavilion is all brick and cost around £40,000 - grant aided by the 'Football Trust' (Littlewoods-Vernons-Zetters). Inside the pavilion there is a radio and T.V. and a bar serving Tetley, Carlsberg, Blackthorn and Buds at £1.50!

Changing Room

Large table for club kit bag (useful). Narrow room but reasonable amount of room for team and large kit boxes.

Showers

Shared by both teams.

Tea

Sandwiches including egg and cakes. Enough for second helpings.

Nearest Pub

The Crown in Westcott village is 1/2 mile from the ground. It is a friendly 'local'. The beers include 'Brains' from Cardiff. (sounds like a contradiction to me! ed.) Highly recommended by the chairman. Also Broadside, S.A. Lots of saddles on the wall (not blazing!).
