Club Patron

Our club constitution calls for us to have a Patron so following the death of Dennis Marshall we were faced with finding another person willing to take on the position.

Fortunately we have had for many years a good friend in Peter Webb M.B.E the joint owner, with his wife Miriam, of Electronic Temperature Instruments Ltd. (ETI) and he has generously agreed to be our new patron.

ETI based in Worthing, is a world leader in temperature measurement devices and has been awarded many accolades, too many to list here but most recently in 2018, The Queens award for Enterprise: Innovation.

Members, a change to Thursday 14th Nov. See your page for details (use this link)

Sunday 8th December, the Santa Run

Planning is now underway, Santa is polishing his sleigh and combing his beard ready for the day.

 It will start at 10:30 and continue through to 2:30. Come along because in addition to the rides and the usual hot drinks and cakes theres's Santa himself, tombola and other seasonal goodies.

Just a semi official heads up for 2020. We expect to start the 2020 season on Easter Sunday which is the 12th April starting at the usual time of 2:00. I'll make this official when the leaflets have been printed (complete with correct dates)

Warm off the press! The latest edition of our newletter (Autumn 2019). Is available for download from the link at the top of the Members Page.

We now have a Twitter Account so use the link to see the twitter feed

We are in the North West corner of Field |Place, beyond the Tennis Courts. I suggest that you use the first Car Park entrance on the Right after enetering Field Place having gone past the indoor bowling club on your left. Go through to the second part of the car park and from there there's a fairly direct footpath by the bowling greens on your left up to the footbridge access to the club house as ground level access to the track and clubhouse is closed off on public running days. However, there is a buggy park by our entrance and disabled acccess is provided should it be needed.
