The scorecard of a Hythe Cricket Week match against the Band of Brothers in 1928

Among the many marquees on the Ground, there was a printer's tent which produced the Krect Card of the Match at the end of each day's play.

Evening attractions included the Venetian Fête, dancing, concerts and an Olde English Fayre with sideshows like Shooting Saloons and Coconut Shies.

At times when there were many Army units barracked in the area, a grand Torchlight Military Tattoo and Fireworks Display would be staged after a day's cricket during the week.

A. P. F. Chapman, of Hythe, Kent and England

Hythe's most noteworthy player was A.P.F. Chapman, who became Captain of Kent and England in the 1920s.

On one occasion he smote a mighty century at Hythe, hitting one six right over the sight screen into the Canal.

Gerry Walter remembered playing with the great man, and once took three catches off his bowling while fielding at silly mid-on.
