Historic first for East Grinstead Hockey Club

Posted on by Andrew Taylor

THOUSANDS of sports fans from across Europe are expected to descend on the town when East Grinstead Hockey Club becomes the first English club ever to host a round of the Euro Hockey League next month.

Twelve teams, including East Grinstead and Reading, will compete in Round 1.2 of the Euro competition which will take place from 26 – 28 October.

Calling it “the largest sporting event the town has ever seen”, first team manager Matt Jones said: “We are immensely proud to be hosting such a prestigious event. We always wanted to bring Euro Hockey League to England but felt we first needed more experience of playing in the competition.

“We are now in a position to host a showcase event of this size and importance. We are really looking forward to it, and hope it will be a success for the club, for the town and for English Hockey.”

Resurfacing – Felbridge Close, East Grinstead

Posted on by Andrew Taylor

WSCC are to resurface Felbridge Close on Tuesday 14th August. This road was supposed to be part of the micro-surfacing programme and was going to go ahead later in the month, but during planing and prep work it became apparent that there is damage to the structure of the carriageway which makes it unsuitable for micro-surfacing. It will therefore be resurfaced.

WSCC have advised that they have mail dropped all residents and the dentist surgery to limit the inconvenience while the work is carried out.
