Lewes FC Vets membership

Membership is currently CLOSED as we are at capacity.

We will not hold a waiting list and will reopen applications in January 2025.

Membership

Our 110 members (including our team of volunteer facilitators and organisers, known as The Boot Room) each contribute £33 per month.

Most of this goes towards the £16,000+ we raise in 3G pitch fees, which:

  • Supports Lewes FC’s drive for on-the-pitch success.

  • Contributes to our Friends of the 3G fund.

We are a constituted community group and not-for-profit, donating 15% of our cash reserves to charity each year.

Last year, we raised over £3,000 for Ukrainian charities.

Playing in the Sussex Sunday League

Members are eligible to play for our three teams in the Sussex Sunday Football League. These teams are selected traditionally, in what we call competitively-selected games.

Drop-in players are not eligible to play for Lewes FC Vets.

Old Quality League

Members can also participate in the Old Quality League, where we field three teams from our membership alongside seven external teams.

  • These games feature a poem about friendship and a strict no slide tackling rule.

  • The league is run with a "Don’t Be a D**k” philosophy—promoting fairness, inclusivity, and compassion.

Membership Perks

Kit Provided – New members receive a full yellow and black kit for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays as a one-off.

Social & Supportive Community – Members gain access to several WhatsApp groups that foster friendship, networking, and social connection:

  • Treatment Table – Connects players with our club physios for occasional clinics and discounted appointments.

  • Vetworking – A professional networking group within the club.

We also run social events regularly—both official and unofficial. Most Fridays, some of the group head to the pub for post-football drinks.
