The club is holding a 15km walk starting from the clock tower in the High St at 2.00pm. We go north to the by- pass, down Horsham Road, left into Spithandle Lane and back. If anyone could help with the marshalling it would be much appreciated. The race is all over in under 2 hours but if you can help only for part of the time that would still be of assistance. Please let me know at ian.richards-home@tiscali.co.uk . You would need to be at the club house by 1.45pm for a briefing.

There is a production of Tosca at the Theatre Royal, Brighton – Tuesday 5th Feb 2013. There are 5 of us going at present. Tickets are (about) £20. We can get a discount if we get a party of 8 or more. Is anybody interested? If so , let me know in the next week.

From Hannah Caffetty

I have persuaded Keiran at The Barn to extend a neighbourly invitation to all SAC members.  He has agreed to offer 5 of his Dynamic Pilates classes for £15.  This is a ‘one off’ offer that I am sending out before he changes his mind!

Keiran’s classes concentrate on core strength, stability, balance and flexibility.  With his ecclectic music and eccentric personality he is an acquired taste, guilty of  somewhat inappropriate verbal diarrhoea but ‘appropriate’ hands on help.  After 18mths of training with him I am very happy with the results and we are good friends.  He has a heart of gold and a head full of knowledge.  His nutrition advice is worth tuning into, but ignore his anti running theories (he’s just jealous because he has short legs)!

The Barn’s timetable is online, so please take advantage of the invitation.  Ring or pop in to book a class and challenge keiran with your fit bods!

Well Done Hannah

Ann & Lawrence are hosting a bike-b-que next saturday (see map for directions).  If you want to learn a little about bike maintenance (do you know what a Boaden Cable is?), bring your bike (and a banger) and a greasy rag! Adrian will be on hand to provide advice, and put your bike back together when you’ve broken it…

ALL WELCOME from 15.00 to 18.00. I’ll be cycling up, leaving from the Leisure Centre at 14.30.

Can you email Lawrence to let him know you are coming (lawrencenaested@hotmail.com)

You can see George Middleton carrying the Olympic Torch here.

He kept his light under a bushel!

Great news!!!!  Steyning Stormers is now on a Tuesday freeing up even more of you to help out.  The sessions start at 7pm and we are in the fortunate position of being over-subscribed.  Liz and the team have done an outstanding job coaching the juniors which is demonstrated in their fantastic performances in the WSFRL.  However, more help is needed in order to break up the groups in terms of age and ability to really get the best out of them.

As you may recall I sent out an email last year and had some great……mediocre…… ok …. limited response.  After an initial flourish the ball was dropped, by me, and so now I would appreciate any volunteers coming responding and I will draw up a rota. 

Those of you whose children have been to the Stormers will I’m sure appreciate what a great resource it is and so feel duty bound to email me back in the blink of an eye!  For the rest of you it’s probably best to email me rather than wait until I start badgering you.

Help is needed and assuming enough of you respond you won’t be called upon many times a year.  So go on don’t delay and take the opportunity to bask in the reflected glory of the Stormers when they challenge for the League title this year.

Thanks
