Places of interest
Cricket
Ripley cricket club with over 250 year's history including establishing the use of a third stump is our oldest standing fixture. But not only a favourite for cricket historians Ripley is a batsmen's paradise with a true wicket combined with a lightning fast outfield that makes life difficult for the bowlers. In recent years Mike Singleton scored 150 odd not out and in 2001 Dave Fanning was unbeaten on 149 within our club record innings of 371 for 5. Lunch and tea at Ripley are again superb in their challenging clubrooms. We say challenging as there is an exposed thick wooden beam running across the roof of the bar and the Ripley boys would make sure there was one of them who could swing themselves over it and laugh at our desperate attempts to save some honour. Long time club member Vance Thompson played for Ripley's Saturday League side for many years with distinction.
Cycling
Ripley was brought to the forefront in the 19th century by its love of cycling. Cycling was centred on the gabled and low ceilinged Anchor Inn where the Dibble sisters, Annie and Harriet made them welcome in 1870. The village which used to lie about 25 miles from the middle of London, before more modern roads shrunk the distance, was the ideal halfway stop for early cyclists as the sport began to gain a hold in the south of England. Ripley was once a Mecca for cyclists long before the motorist took over. It was far enough down the old Portsmouth Road for Londoners to be able to ride out, have tea and then return home. The 'Dibble' sisters dispensed tea for the cyclists and became so popular in their lifetime that when they died cyclists clubbed together and paid for a stained glass window in their memory to be placed in the parish church.
Golf
Surrey has some of the best courses in the country; Wisley is just one mile away, frequented by the most famous of celebrities! Wentworth is only a fifteen minute drive and Sunningdale twenty minutes. If you are looking for something less expensive, Traditions at Pyrford is two miles away and offers excellent value for money with rounds starting at 10 Monday to Friday and 20 at weekends. In addition Hoebridge at Woking is also very good value for money.
Paintball

Walking
