CLUBHOUSE REFURBISHMENT UPDATE

I wanted to thank everyone for their patience during the RSCAC clubhouse refurbishment. Particular thanks to Bunny Kyd for all the time he has invested in planning and managing this improvement to our clubhouse facilities.

Our new facilities are nearly ready (just awaiting drains connection via the council). I would also particularly like to thank the kind person who has sponsored our interim toilet facility, our porta loo, this has been greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Alex Buchanan, committee chair

Success for Sutton Sprinters

Kane Howitt and Isabel Male started 2018 with some sparkling performances on Saturday in the 60m at the Midland Counties Indoor Meeting.

Kane set a new Senior Men’s Club record of 6.99 in winning his race beating Nicholas Pryce’s old record of 7.01 set in 2013. Kane’s previous best was 7.19 set in 2016.

Isabel, in her first year as an under 15, set a new PB of 8.30 in finishing 2nd in her race. Her old PB was 8.50 set last year.

Well done to both Kane and Isabel.
