| Mr John Smithers |
 | John was well known throughout the area, before he moved to Groombridge, as a stocky pace bowler. He was also very able with the bat and scored one memorable 100 against Fordcombe CC as well as others. A loyal worker for the club John had a great deal to do with the first refurbishment of the pavilion and the installation of showers etc. When he finally moved back to his home village of Cowden, he rejoined that club and is now president. John Smithers is another one who has been badly bitten by the golfing bug. |
