Your details

If you have moved house, got a new telephone number or changed your email address during the past 12 months, have you informed the Membership Secretary and anyone else who you contact?

In our district, there have been around 15 potential playing members whose email addresses have changed and emails sent to them have been 'returned to sender' as unknown - needless to say, they haven't communicated any changes and are potentially missing out on messages, etc.

You can submit changes of personal details direct to the Membership Secretary on-line - click here or see Forms page

Congratulations, you have reached the home page of the Kent & East Sussex district of The Forty Club or, as the logo infers, the XL Club, with members being 40 years old or over. The Club was founded in 1936.

The primary objective of the XL Club is to take cricket to schools with high-class players being an example to youth both in standards of play and general behaviour. In earlier days former county and minor county players were the basis of most sides. Today membership is concentrated in those who have played 1st XI club cricket. Age is no obstacle to ability.

As a wandering club, the Forty Club does not own a ground, but enjoys a membership of around 4000 nationwide plus a growing number overseas. Under a central administration, the UK is divided into 12 Districts each with its own Chairman responsible for matches in his area and for social activities to bring members together.

Club members may apply for any match that the Club plays in, not just those within a member's own district. Just contact (as early as possible) the respective Match Manager who's details will be found in the fixture card issued annually to members.

Foreign Tours and Inter District competitions, etc. are held each year - check out the other pages on this site and the various links for further information.
