Welcome to Dell Lane

Known locally as 'Dell Lane', our HQ is in a quiet private road behind Stoneleigh's local shopping centre - ideally placed for the Fish & Chip shop and late opening Co-op and Budgens, as well as the local bus stop and train station! As well as being our weekly Scouts & Guides meeting place, the Hall is also available for both 'one-off' and regular private hire for our local community. We are especially popular for young children's parties - why not choose Jabbajacks as your entertainer? Easy to reach from Epsom, Ewell, Cheam, Kingston, Worcester Park and Leatherhead, we are just 30 minutes from central London by train and one minute from Stoneleigh Broadway.

Our website includes information about the Hall, booking details, a news archive, details of the youth organisations, information about regular activities at the Hall, and acknowledgements to our funders.

After two years of being 'squirrel free', the little rascals found their way into the roof space again at the beginning of May. Our friends from CTF pest control came along again to help reduce the numbers living in the trees at the bottom of our garden, and we then embarked on a plan to keep them out of the building for good. Two proprietary ultra sonic 'squirrel deterrent' were installed, which appeared to have no effect whatsoever. It was when I saw a squirrel looking straight at one from a metre or so away I knew we needed to do more!

So down came the gutters and up went metal mesh, filling the gaps between the wavy roof and the straight fascia board - are roofs really built this way with big gaps all along them? So far so good - but perhaps we ought to do the front of the building as well, just to be sure! The leaky gutters got fixed and the garden floodlights replaced at the same time - so all in all a good couple of week's work.
