Hi, does anyone have a list of venues for the league, someone has asked me for tables in Storrington, I don't know if there are any tables that way that your league plays in?

Hi Nigel,
As far as I know there are these ten venues in the Billingshurst League:
Billingshurst - Railway, Limeburners, Blue Ship;
Alfold - Alfold SC, Crown;
Horsham - Roffey SSC, Stout House;
Southwater - Southwater SC
Mannings Heath - Dun Horse
Partridge Green - Windmill (Littleworth).
As is the widespread case, the league has shrunk dramatically since the 1980's when I can remember a second division of 17 teams with the Partridge once winning 31 matches out of 32 !
In those days anyone living in Storrington would have been spoilt for choice, I can remember visiting the British Legion for a match, as well as the Eleven Cricketers. There were also these venues in close proximity: Crown, Dial Post; Ashington SC; White Lion, Thakeham; Five Bells, West Chiltington; Elephant & Castle, West Chiltington, Queens Head, West Chiltington, Rising Sun, Nutbourne, and the Arun, Swan, Waters Edge, Rose and Crown and Oddfellows Arms (all in Pulborough).
Sadly all no more, largely due to the advent of Pool. >:(
