5
Dec
Do
you want a second event on 5 Dec? Is it too near Christmas or would it help fight the
over-eating?
Glyn
has pointed out a WCRA training weekend in Chester on 11/12 December which might be a
counter attraction. I’ll wait to hear from you - if I get more six replies saying
“yes” then I’ll firm up the booking of a hall.
The
venues
Two
riders had big difficulty in finding Newchapel last winter. Here’s some info to help:
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=535250&y=142750&z=3&sv=535250,142750&st=4&ar=
N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf
you’re
looking for the area in the centre of the map, a rural area mid-way between Smallfield
(which is east of Horley) and Newchapel, shown as being on the A22 (look to the west of Lingfield).
You
should see a circle of brown roads… that’s the circuit and the hall is on one of
them.
If
you find yourself at Horne Golf Club on Croydonbarn Lane, then just 50m away is a
T-junction leading into Bones Lane. Turn into Bones Lane and continue for a mile until you
come to a hamlet. The village hall is there on the right.
The
map shows a yellow road with Horne Park Farm on one side of it and a couple of building
and a telephone symbol marked on the opposite side…. the village hall is one of those
two buildings.
If
you come from the opposite direction: leave the A22 at the roundabout, following the B2028
heading west towards Crawley. Take a minor road to the right in just 300m, follow it for
500m and at the T-junction go left. You’ll find the village hall on your left in
400m.
Crowhurst
village hall
the
reference is:
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=535000&y=145000&z=5&sv=535000,145000&st=4&ar=
N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf
and
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=538500&y=147500&z=3&sv=538500,147500&st=4&ar=
N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&dn=516
It’s
on Crowhurst Lane. If you come from Crowhurst Lane End (traffic lights under the railway)
and then drive parallel to the train lines for almost a mile, the hall is round the corner
after the first right-angle bend.
If
you come up from Lingfield and find yourself coming up a little hill with the church on
your left, then just keep going and we’re on the right in another mile, just after a
row of council houses.
