Moved out of our original HQ,
by City of London Corporation - December 2009
and now temporarily lodging with
Chingford Cricket Club
E4 6DE

For Locals who still don’t know it,
the cricket clubhouse is behind Forest Side's Queen Elizabeth pub...
via a slender and muddy FOOTpath -
which leads to the Forest and is only a few minutes jog from our old HQ.

(ALLOW 10 MINUTES FROM THE CRICKET CLUB)

DIRECTIONS FOR RUNNERS + WALKERS PUBLIC TRANSPORT Chingford Cricket Clubhouse is about 5 minutes walk from Chingford Rail and bus stations. Both bus and rail stations are clearly marked on the Streetmap.co.uk map! Exit either terminus, into Station Road, turn RIGHT (east) to follow Station Road round... about 150 metres and turn right into Beresford Road. (There's also a less obvious DIRECT exit onto Beresford Road from the bus /train terminii. Turn right on Beresford Road, if this is used!) Follow Beresford Road 150m slightly up then down, then turn left into Kimberley Road. Kimberley Way is now 2nd LEFT turning, about 300 metres further. The rough drive leading to the Cricket Club Ground leads straight ahead where Kimberley Way veers right.

Whilst we await our move to Jubilee Retreat the committee has arranged in the interim for Orion to use facilities at the Chingford Cricket Club, off Kimberley Way. Our intention in securing these facilities was to maintain cohesion within the club, keeping both the existing membership together as well as providing a single meeting place for potential new members. In negotiating these arrangements we took into consideration the fact that members run at different times, and we have taken care to ensure the facilities are available to us at the times that most people run. We've initially arranged to use these facilities until the end of March. We'd hoped to be in Jubilee Retreat by April but this has been delayed due to planning issues. We may well find ourselves in the position where we wish to use Chingford Cricket Club facilities beyond Spring - using their facilities now may help enable this to happen. Just so everyone is aware, the club is paying for the facilities to be available to us at the following times Tuesday 7.15 - 9pm - run leaves at 7.30pm Wednesday 6.30 -9pm - runs leave at 7pm Thursday 7.15 - 9pm - run leaves at 7.30pm Saturday 2.45 -4.30pm - run leaves at 3.00pm Sunday 8am - 12 midday – runs leave at: 8.30 am (Marathon training) and 9.30am (General) Training sessions are open to all. Once again we hope members will support us in keeping the club together at this time and use the Cricket Club as the starting points for all runs. Please don't attempt to use the CC for changing at other times. A drawback - while there are 2 changing rooms, there's only 1 shower room. The CC bar is open Thu, Fri and Sat evenings, as well as Sat and Sun afternoons which we are welcome to use.

DIRECTIONS FOR DRIVERS There is EXTREMELY LIMITED PARKING at the Cricket Club. Nearby streets CAN be used but be aware of local restrictions, which are signed. There are several Forest Car parks. You ARE athletes - the wee walk from the car park is a good warm-up! A small car park is opposite the Hunting Lodge on Rangers Road and another GIANT car park is on Bury Road - marked on the Streetmap.co.uk map! (Station Road/Rangers Road is the A1069 and leads east from Chingford Station to Epping New Road, the A104. The A104 goes north to Epping, passing near to Junction 26 of the M25) Races START not too far away from the suggested Forest Car Parks.
