UCKFIELD GRASSHOPPERS

Established in 1981, Uckfield Grasshoppers Junior Football Club (UGJFC) offer boys and girls football from five years old all the way to under 18's... Over the years we have done the usual fund raising activities such as jumblesales, car boots, sponsored walks raffles and quizzes but in 1992 we did a fund raiser with a difference. Four of our then managers visited every Football League ground (including what is now the Premiership) in a week. They drove several thousand miles driving very nearly non-stop. On one stage after being stopped by the police for speeding they were cautioned then escorted on the rest of that day's journey! A large sum of money was raised and we gained a great deal of publicity. Finally, it is the goal of this club to provide football for as many youngsters as we are able to and to hopefully teach them how to improve their skills and to enjoy this great game of ours. Our club motto "Sint ut sunt aut non sint" means "Let them be as they are" - happy go lucky..
