Look at the last page in this week’s AW and 2 of our athletes get a mention. After the 2104 Surrey indoor championships Lois Drummie got a mention because she long-jumped 4.77 metres four times – and she was wearing number 77. In the 2105 Sussex Indoor Championships a couple of weeks ago Jemma Edgar jumped...

Heavy rain last Thursday afternoon put paid to Thursday evening’s training and then the snow on Saturday morning ruled out Saturday’s jumps session.

Last Thursday evening was a bit of a non-event. Severe traffic problems caused by work at the Felbridge traffic lights either delayed people’s arrival or, in some cases, meant that athletes never arrived. In addition the snow flurry that we had in the afternoon left a thin layer of snow on the track which was...

This morning’s session at East Court will go ahead. We may finish a bit earlier than normal...
