Will I see you at East Court on Wednesday morning ? You’ve all had your Christmas dinners and now you need to blow away those Christmas cobwebs.

Another wet Thursday evening Yet another wet Thursday evening meant that we had to cancel the last junior training session of 2016. However the rain had stopped in time for about 15 older athletes to train in a series of relay races involving hurdles, tyres, medicine balls and ladders ! Are you going to train...

Yet more rain on a Thursday evening. So I’m sorry to say that we have cancelled the junior training this evening and will leave older athletes to make up their own minds. The next Thursday evening session will be in the New Year on January 7. So I wish you all a Happy Christmas. We...

Another wet Thursday evening For the second consecutive week we have had a very wet and windy Thursday afternoon and evening – which has causes us to cancel training. At this time of year there is not a lot of good that can be got out of any sort of technical session when the weather...
