Burglary days after pavilion refurbished
The pavilion, at the Manor Sports Ground, in Broadwater Road, Worthing, was broken into some time on Thursday night.
A dog walker, who was also a member of the club, noticed the break-in and alerted long-term member Andy Lutwyche.

Hide AdMr Lutwyche went to inspect the pavilion, and found a window broken, graffiti plastered over the walls, and the cash register in the bar missing.
He said a lot of hard work had gone into the building, and it had only been completed in the last few days.
He said: I didn’t go in as I didn’t want to contaminate the scene.
“We had put a lot of work into doing it up and the council had painted the outside and then this happened.
“A lot of people were volunteers and the whole thing has left a nasty taste.”
