It was the Beginners Group one month birthday on Thurday 7 March. I (Graham) went along to see how the group was doing a get a photo. Really good to see the beginners group continues with strength with over 30 beginners coming along for the weekly session. The group is led by Emma Hyland (in yellow left front in the photo) who has completed the Run England leadership in running fitness which is specially aimed at beginners. The beginners caters for non runners to occasional joggers. If you wish to come along the beginners group meets every Thursday at 7.30pm at Freedom Leisure Uckfield. For further information click on the Beginners group tab above or email the address below.
We were recently mentioned on the Run England website, click here to view.
Well done to Emma for setting up a succesful group and continuing to keep everyone motivated and keen. And well done to all our Beginners for keeping it up especially on the dark winter nights.

Very cold and quite windy. Eastbourne is mostly flat but like most seafront courses the seafront is not quite long enough so you have to climb halfway to Beachy head from about 2 mile to 3.5 mile which does make the course a bit slower than Brighton. Five ran from Uckfield: Graham West 1hr 40.52, Stuart Brown 1hr 45.10, Chris Tatnall 1hr 49.02, Jo Nash 1hr 57.08, Peter Wilkes 1hr 57.59.
A bit further afield Ray Edmondson completed the Ostend to Brugges 10 mile run in 1hr 44 in Belgium. This is an end to end run, the runners are bused from Brugges to the start in Ostend to then run back to Brugges.

The joint Uckfield/Heathfield team went into the final race in fourth position just 2 points behind Eastbourne. It was cold day but dry as we ran the 5 mile undulating course of wood and field. Overall the team came third an excellent result, but more importantly 2 places ahead of Eastbounre who finished fifth thus moving the Uckfield/Heathfield Team up to joint third. Full Results

Was cold, wet and windy but we still had six turn out for the Ashdown Forest Cross Country. With best quality mud it was certainly a proper Cross Country. Running from the club were Graham, Jason, Charlotte, Catherine, Tanya and Peter. Many of you will be aware my wife Lorraine tends to be the club photographer and the cross country photographer, but today Lorraine had a yound assistant, Eva, Cathterine's daughter and to the right is the picture Eva took of Charlotte. Well done to Lorraine and Eva for enduring the weather to take the photos.
Superb result for the joint Heathfield/Uckfield team finishing third. Full Results
