Cricket Match and Jacobs 50th Anniversary weekend
On the weekend 17-19 September we not only have the annual Keeling vs Sedlescombe cricket match (first played in the 1930s) but also the 50th anniversary of the Mike and Jenny Keeling family moving into Jacobs.
Schedule
- Fri 17 Sept before dinner: arrivals start at Jacobs, Lower Northlands and nearby to both. Please check the links, here for Jacobs and nearby and here for Lower Northlands and nearby, for those expected and the related sleeping/catering arrangements. Please tell Jim or Paul if anything is not as you are expecting.
- Sat 18 Sept 11.30am: nets for cricket team at Jacobs – see here for team details including umpires, scorers, captains etc.
- Sat 18 Sept 12.30pm: first blessed hour at Jacobs, drinks served from marquee.
- Sat 18 Sept 1.15pm: George’s lunch commences in marquee. See names of those expected to be coming, plus seating plan and dietary requirements, here and tell George if anything is not as you are expecting.

- Sun 19 Sept 11.30am to 5pm: cricket at Brightling Park (see map here). Note this is about 25 minutes from Jacobs / Lower Northlands by car and you should bring your own picnic lunch; also the pitch is out of range of mobile signal so you will NOT find your way there using satnav and should therefore use the map attached or something similar.
- Sun 19 September 5.30pm: survivors' drinks in a pub (TBD) near Brightling Park
- The end.

Map from Robertsbridge to Cricket Match near Brightling
Click here for real Google map (which may not work in Brightling)
For those who prefer words:
- Off the A21, through Robertsbridge and across the level crossing
- Straight on from there for about 2 or 3 miles and you will come to a T junction in Brightling
- Turn left at ‘T’ and then, after about 300 yards turn right into a farmyard, ‘Ox Lodge’ (pictured below)
- Follow track down a hill, along bumpy track until you come to the cricket pitch
- Follow track around pitch (keeping it on your right), through some more farm buildings and park up behind the pavilion
