1997 Club
Many of you will be aware of Glastonwick, our local independent music/beer festival which started at the Barn Theatre in Southwick in 1996, moved to Shoreham Airport for a couple of years and has found a permanent home at Coombes Farm for more than a decade now. It should be happening there this weekend but can't due to the pandemic, so for the second year in a row we're going online tomorrow from 2-11pm and this year we are fund raising for Southwick 1882 Football Club, our new community club.
SOUTHWICK 1882 FC, born in Southwick in (you guessed it!) 1882, reborn in 2020 as a community interest company, organised and run by volunteers and amateur players for the sheer love of grass roots football. 139 years of proud history, County League winners many times, FA Cup first round in 1974, Isthmian League in the 80s. Thrown out of our crumbling home ground Old Barn Way through no fault of our own in Spring 2020 due to previous lease holder and council neglect. The old club folded and was reconstituted with a totally different set up a month later, first team dropping two divisions to play on Southwick Rec next door to the ground when Covid allowed, winning their league with a 100% record. In just one year a flourishing all-ages youth section has been created too. The first team is now at too high a level to play on the Rec any more so we need to ground share and fund raise for 2 seasons while Old Barn Way is completely rebuilt. The picture on the fund raising page is of the ground in its current state.
If you'd like to watch our bands, songwriters and poets tomorrow, all Glastonwick regulars playing their own material, you need to join the Glastonwick group page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/217096231713440/ where you'll find line up details.
If you don't really think that's for you, but you'd like to support the fundraiser, please visit the crowdfunding page at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/glastonwick2021
