Brighton Beamers Cricket Club

You are visiting the site of the Brighton Beamers Cricket Club. A club celebrating its 20th glorious year. Please come in and browse, you are very welcome.

The BBCC was formed by two noble statesmen of Beamerhood around the beginning of the 1980's. The club started as a 'works' side, but soon numbers were swelled by the massed ranks of the SWP and the RCP. We have about 20 playing members, and 5 fans. We tour twice a year, drink real ale, sing songs, camp camply, and generally enjoy ourselves. If you want to know more please contact us.

"The fellows were practising long shies and bowling lobs and slow twisters. In the soft grey silence he could hear the bump of the balls: and from here and from there through the quiet air the sound of the cricket bats: pick, pack, pock, puck: like drops of water in a fountain falling softly in the brimming bowl."

James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Yes yes yes, change is difficult isn't it? Whilst we've got the painters in all the usual gubbins can be found in the old Beamers site
