Happy Christmas to you all Enjoy your Christmas break but don’t eat or drink too much. Go out for a run somewhere in the next week. With the shortest day of the winter now in the past (it was on Friday December 21) we can look forward to the days getting longer. And before we...

Last Thursday evening training of 2018 at Imberhorne coming up this week Just a reminder that this coming Thursday December 13 is the last Thursday evening training session of the year at Imberhorne. Please wear something Christmassy for this week’s training. We will be back at Imberhorne on the other side of Christmas and the...

Sorry that we cancelled Thursday training at Imberhorne so late Our apologies for calling off Thursday evening training on the track at Imberhorne at the very last minute. It wasn’t until we got down to the school at about 6.50 that we realised how much water was lying on the track. So we called it...

Another week of training done and another week to come Nothing very much to tell you this week. We’ve had another week of training, and there’ll be another week over the next 7 days.

Back to training as normal this week As we expected numbers at training last Thursday evening were somewhat down because of the half-term holiday. And Sunday morning training saw perhaps the first winter-y feeling weather of the autumn/winter. We expect to be back to normal numbers at training for this coming week. Just a reminder...

Training as normal this week Although we are now into half-term week we will still be holding our normal training sessions over this coming week. We do realise of course that some of you will be away. Dates for matches in the summer of 2019 We have just received provisional details of most of our...

Schools cross-country races on Sunday October 14 Another great day ay East Court for the schools cross-country championships. While we didn’t see any sunshine we also didn’t have the heavy rain that the weather forecasts suggested were heading our way. Lots of athletes with lots of parents to cheer them on. We also had lots...
