After crossing the bridge, take a right turn at the roundabout, again following signs for Lewes and Newhaven on the A27.

Returning to Our Clubhouse After Your Match

All our opponents are invited back to our clubhouse for 'teas' and drinks. Please do ask if you can follow one of our members back to the clubhouse or alternatively you can follow these directions:

1) Leave the Sports Complex by the same route you arrived.

2) Turn right back onto Mill Street and continue retracing your steps.

3) Turn left onto the main exit road from the Univserity.

4) At the roundabout continue straight through and pass over the bridge.

5) Vere left before the next roundabout to join the A27, you will circle back under the bridge you just crossed.

6) When you join the A27 (being wary of the speed trap), move into the middle lane and follow the main road to the right.

7) After you have ascended the hill, take the first exit off the dual carriageway.

8) Take the right turn off the roundabout to cross over the bridge.

9) Take the right turn off the next roundabout to ascend the hill.

10) Take the first turn right onto Ditchling Road to cross the dual-carriageway again.

11) Follow the road for about 2 miles until you come to traffic lights at a 5-way junction, there will be a pub on your left and a Co-Op on your right.

12) Take the immediate right turn onto Preston Drove.

13) Continue along for about half a mile until you come across a long grey wall on your left and park anywhere along the street. The clubhouse is behind the wall, at the downhill end.
