“Barnet Model Helicopter Club was formed on the 15th of September 2006. We fly at the Old Elizabethans’ Playing Fields which is in May Lane, Barnet, London, England.
The primary purpose of this field is cricket and football. However the field is available for flying when no sporting activities or maintenance work are in progress, which is the majority of the time except weekends. Hence our club is particularly suitable for those who have free time during the week.
The field has a gate that is always kept locked. All members have a key, and are asked to lock the gate every time it’s used.
Currently we have space for a few more members. If you fly model helicopters and are interested, please check the club rules on the website and e-mail Malcolm Messiter.

“Monken Hadley Cricket Club, based in Barnet, Herts, welcomes players of all standards to play friendly cricket matches on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer. Please contact us through the website if you would like to play – regularly or just occasionally!
History
The earliest recorded report of cricket being played on the Common appeared in the Barnet Press and it referred to a game against the Privy Council Office CC on June 14th 1862. It is however probably that cricket was played on the Common earlier than this as the novelist, Anthony Trollop (1815-1882), in his novel “The Bertrams”, which was set in the 1840s made a reference to Cricket on the Common. His mother lived in Hadley and it is therefore quite likely that he drew on real life for inspiration.
The present Monken Hadley Cricket Club, which has its pitch on the grassland at the western end of the Common, was reformed in 1954 and has played continuously since that time.”
“The club was originally founded in 1940 to provide cricket for the former pupils of Queen Elizabeth’s Boys School in Barnet, but we have been an open club for many years, and welcome members from across the Barnet area and beyond.
The club currently runs 5 adult teams, 9 colts teams and a Ladies team. The three Saturday adult teams play in Divisions 3A, 8A and 10B of the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League, while there is one league & one friendly XI on Sunday’s helping to bridge the gap between junior and senior cricket.
We are always looking for new members to join our friendly club, so whether you are a junior looking to play, a parent or a more experienced player or coach wanting to join a new club, or just someone looking for a quiet place to have a drink and watch some cricket, come and say hello.”
