==Culture, sport and social life== The large Village Hall in The Street is home to several organisations, including Fetcham Village [[Women's Institute]]. It was also the venue for several early performances by the influential band [[John's Children]], which included sometime frontman [[Marc Bolan]].<ref>[http://www.johnschildren.co.uk/ John's Children official site]</ref> There is also a small reading room that can be hired for private functions, on Cobham Road just north of the railway. There was a social club, called the Fetcham Sports and Social Club, but this closed in 2001 after the membership dwindled. The building is now used as offices. 1st Fetcham Scout Group, headquartered in Cock Lane, has three [[Cub Scout]] packs and two [[Scout (Scout Movement)|Scout]] [[Scout troop|Troops]], as well as [[Beavers (Scouting)|Beavers]]. Fetcham [[Explorer Scouts (The Scout Association)|Explorers]] share the 1st Fetcham Scout Group hall and facilities. [[Fetcham FC]] football club no longer exists, Fetcham Park United formed in 1971 is now an adult amateur [[FA Charter Standard Award|Charter Standard]] football club affiliated with the [[Surrey County Football Association|Surrey FA]]. Its two teams play in Division 1 and Division 5 of the [[Leatherhead & District Sunday Football League]]. The home ground was formerly the Cock Lane Recreation Ground in Fetcham but the teams now play home games at Priest Hill Playing Fields, in [[Epsom]]. Fetcham's sole [[pub]], ''The Bell'' was built in brick in the 1930s on the site of an earlier pub, opposite [[Fetcham Infants School]]. It changed ownership several times in the late 20th century until it was bought by the [[Young's Brewery|Youngs]] brewery chain in 2004, when it had a major refit, followed by another in late 2007. The Bell is mentioned in [[The Good Food Guide]] and holds a [[pub quiz]] on Mondays.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Bell, Fetcham |url=https://whatpub.com/pubs/KIN/6908/bell-fetcham |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160403063332/https://whatpub.com/pubs/KIN/6908/bell-fetcham |archive-date=3 April 2016 |access-date=21 March 2016}}</ref>
