Cricket Ground
Cricket matches were originally played on Parker's Piece. This was the clubs only accommodation until 1903 when, by arrangement with the Corpus Amalgamation Club, they were allowed a share in the use of their ground.
In 1909 the College bought 8 1/2 acres of arable land on the Ely Road (just beyond the junction of the Arbury Road with Ely Road, a 8 min cycle from the College) and then an additional 1 1/2 acres to improve the shape of the field. The ground measured 165 yards by 260 yards. Work was carried out to improve the soil and level the ground. It was hoped that the ground would be used for the first time in 1912. The land was held freehold and cost approximately £100 per acre. The Amalgamation Club needed £75 per annum for interest on the loans. A pavilion was also needed.

For a description of the new ground and pavilion (including drawing of the pavilion) see College Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1, December 1911.

According to a letter from Roger White (matriculated 1945) to the College Magazine, 2003-2004 the club had ceased to exist due to the Second World War. He went to the rooms of Freddie Mutesa in Mallory Court (Sir Edward Frederick William David Walugembe Mutebi Luwangula Mutesa II Kabaka (king) of the kingdom of Buganda in Uganda from 1939 until his death in 1969.

They agreed that they should re-start the Football Club. They needed to get clothing coupons for a set of shirts and authority to re-start the club. They got permission from Frank Salter.

Believed to be an undergraduate dining society although very little is know about it. Mentioned in the College Magazine editorial (Vol. 3, No. 2. March 1914]

"The Kingsley still exists and has had one or two amusing papers. I hope the Spiders - a club of another nature - is not being left to die. It would be a pity if an Institution of such comparative antiquity should cease to be; we look to men who take an interest in matters social to see to it. After all the senior members of College manage to keep the Pepys Dinner alive!"
