Village cricket has a considerable following locally. BBC Sport On-Line has a Play-Cricket management system to help amateur teams organise themselves (includes an avatar called "Chalky"). LP Hartley's The Go-Between includes a long sequence describing a village cricket match (the book was made into a film in 1970 with Julie Christie and Edward Fox).

Walking over to the village hall, the Women's Institute were holding a fund-raising event (£1 to get in) with various stalls selling cakes, plants, tea-towels etc. There were also several stalls displaying various "collections" (Regal pelargoniums, stone water bottles, tea strainers). A counter at the back provided tea, coffee and cold drinks (I had three glasses of tap water, which were given to me without charge).
