Catchment

Core area as shown. Although Hastings might be a relatively small town, it has a thriving Hastings & District Cricket Association with member clubs from Rye & Tenterden in the East, across to Robertsbridge, Bodiam and Northiam in the north, then across to Herstmonceux and Eastbourne in the west and back through Bexhill. The Hastings & District Association of Cricket Officials has members in each of those towns.

Meetings

Hastings and District ACO has not traditionally met formally due to a busy programme of umpiring indoor cricket on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings plus Sunday mornings from October – March inclusive. However, it is planned to try and change this so that we meet at least every other month in the future, the first of these is likely to be in January 2009, further details to follow.
