Back to the schools for this week’s training sessions We go back to the schools for this week’s sessions, which will be good news for our jumpers and throwers who haven’t been able to jump or throw as yet, though they’ll have to wait until Thursday’s session before they are able to have a go...

Change to the start times for this week’s training sessions With the days getting longer we are changing the start time of this week’s training sessions at East Court. On both TUESDAY APRIL 13 and THURSDAY APRIL 15 we will start at 6.30pm and will aim to finish at about 7.30. Let’s hope that we...

We had a good start to our training sessions last week at East Court with close on 30 athletes on both evenings. Tuesday evening was warm with a large number of people picnicking on the playing fields, but we found enough space for our three groups to operate – a middle distance group, an under...

Yes we are going to hold our first training sessions of 2021 this week on TUESDAY MARCH 30 and THURSDAY APRIL 1. Both sessions will be at East Court with a 6pm start and a finish at 7pm or thereabouts.  Where we meet will be determined by whether or not East Court is being used...

The Government’s coronavirus road map suggests that, assuming things go OK in March, we may be allowed to get back to group training in April – although in our case we would need both Imberhorne and Sackville schools to allow us to use their facilities. We are due to have one league match in April...

Many thanks to Phil Rogers for running a number of training sessions last week during half-term at a  variety of green spaces in the town. Under the current rules training can take place on a 1 to 1 basis with a further requirement that if the athlete is under 18 then a parent has to...

During this last week club members should have received an e-mail setting out our provisional fixtures for the coming 2021 summer – subject of course to whatever coronavirus restrictions are with us in the summer months. If you haven’t received a copy then contact Lester Medcalf...
