During the colder months live music is always held indoors, but frequently in summer the performance will be outside on the patio, usually accompanied by a barbecue.
We have a thriving golf society which plays on a variety of courses in the area, changing from year to year, meeting every month from February to November. We play for fun, nothing too serious, as you will realise if you see the nature of the trophies available to be won!

Have you ever called into the Wheatsheaf, seen a gaggle of sad middle aged men in flat caps, and wondered what on earth is going on? Well........ The Leek Club (seriously now!) goes from strength to strength. First established in 2007 with 12 members, we now boast a membership of 15, all of whom are required to wear the badge of membership (a flat cap) to the fortnightly meetings and rigorous, not to say riotous, leek patch site visits. The membership is largely (in some cases VERY large) drawn from Crowborough Rugby Football Club, and the prime purpose is to grow the best leek, not neccessarily the largest (and though size does matter, never mind the width - feel the quality!). |
 |
The Executive Committee is comprised of Dave Pass (The Judge), who is the Founder, President, Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and anything else he wants to be as the need arises including he who appoints the independent judge (see next line). At the annual Leek Club Show all the important decisions are made by the independent judge no less. The roll of honour in 2007 was: - |
| Best Leek | Kevin Dewhurst (Blot 1) |
| Best Original Leek Recipe | Rob Dewhurst (Offset Litho) |
| Best Original Leek Artwork | Graham Callard (Bleater) |
By the way, the Dewhurst's didn't have it all their own way, brother Steve (Muttley) finished 10th in Best Leek, and absolutely nowhere in everything else! Oh and we mustn't forget - Dave Pass reckons he would have won, but his wife Fran sat on his number 1 leek and killed it.
Major Leek Club events to watch out for this year are:
| Sunday 7th September | The Leek Show | This will include judging of all categories from 2007, plus the 'How High is my Leek' competition |
We have two teams in the local petanque league, both in the second division for the forthcoming 2008 season. We play on a home and away basis on Wednesday evenings during the season, which stretches from early May to September. The Jesters and the Stookies finished 3rd and 4th respectively in 2007. There are frequent friendly games played throughout the year, both home and away, and when the piste is not being used for a match, anybody is welcome to try their hand - we always have spare boules for you to borrow. |
 |
Our crib team meets on Monday evenings during winter in a season running from October to March in division 1 of the league. In the 2007/08 season just ended we finished in 6th spot (out of 10) - very creditable considering we were staring the ignominy of relegation in the face when, with just 4 weeks of the season to go, we were in bottom place!
