Capel Sports Pavilion

Posted on by

Fantastic news! On 12th December, the London Marathon Charitable Trust granted us a fabulous £50,000 towards developing a new Sports Pavilion at the Recreation Ground in Capel.

This has been driven by the Cricket Club so far, but the award of this grant is a major stimulus to develop a new facility that could be used by many of Capel’s clubs and societies. Following on from this initial grant it would be useful to consult widely with all groups in Capel who might have a stake in this project and so a working group will shortly be formed to take this work forwards.

This is the very beginning of what will be a major project for Capel and there will be a large amount of effort involved to bring this to fruition.

Happy New year!

Cycle Race – Sunday 9th September

Posted on by

Dear Capel residents.

I am just contacting you with additional notice that the annual Surrey League Rusper road races promoted by Crawley Wheelers Cycling Club are taking place on Sunday 9 September. Our club has a proud tradition of hosting these races on behalf of the Surrey League as they have been running now for more than 20 years and throughout this period we have always enjoyed good co-operation with the residents of the villages and areas in which the race goes through. We hope that this continues this year. Official public notices will be placed along the route 7-10 days before the race date. The Rusper course on which the races take part is only being used once this year for British Cycling events and the events are held with the full co-operation of the relevant police forces for the area. We thank you for your co-operation.
