A number of our athletes took part in the first league match of the season for under 20 and under 17 athletes at Dartford. For this league we join up with Haywards Heath and Lewes to form a composite team which is called Team Sussex. With a nearby celebration of St George’s Day by local…

On Saturday afternoon I saw Georgia Volrath-Dale leaving Hastings with an arm in a sling after her hammer and shot in the senior match at Hastings – after setting a new under 17 club record with the 4k weight of 24.85 metres. Then on Sunday she’s throwing the hammer again at the Crawley Open !…

A day spent at the track at William Parker School in Hastings got our league season under way for our senior athletes. The banking on the eastern side of the track seemed to keep most of the wind away and the weather was better than we had reason to expect. Unfortunately the male part of…

Today we have sent off £1336.00 to the Ron Pickering Memorial Fund. Thank you so much to everyone who donated money in memory of John Rogers. Your generosity is very much appreciated. Phil and Audrey Rogers…

This Saturday will we go down to the William Parker School track in Hastings for the opening Southern Athletics league fixture of 2014 – let’s hope the weather continues to behave itself.

I was away at the end of last week but I don’t think much has happened over the last few days – but if anybody did an Open Meeting last week please let me know. Although it is the school Easter holidays  we will continue with normal Tuesday and Thursday evening training sessions at Imberhorne…

We have recently linked up with easyfundraising.org.uk to help raise additional funds for the club.  If you shop online, there’s every chance you’ll use one of over 2400 retailers who make a small contribution to the club every time you make a purchase.  You can find out more on our Fund Raising page or simply…

Despite being a town of over 23000 residents which has had an athletics club in existence for almost forty years, East Grinstead still has no athletics track.  For many years, Sackville School was used and for the last 15 years, an athletics training facility at Imberhorne School has been used.  But never has the club…

Since the end of last summer, a number of people have taken part in various courses to help the club. A big thank you to: – Phil Rogers and Eddie Vermeer who are currently training to be qualified athletics coaches – John Hayes and Jacquie Russell who are now qualified coaching assistants – Matt Rieley…
