    SEAFORD STRIDERS NEWSLETTER WE DON’T JUST RUN, WE ALSO HAVE FUN! Editor & Press Officer: Hilary Humphreys [email protected] Facebook: https://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Seaford-Striders/184950041545372 Website: http://www.seafordstriders.org.uk/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/seafordstriders February 2017 SUSSEX GRAND PRIX by Gareth Hutchinson The Sussex Grand Prix (SGP) is an annual league which provides the running clubs of Sussex the opportunity to compete against each other on an individual and team basis. The categories are further divided by age and sex. The Striders were once regular winners of the overall competition and there now seems an appetite to challenge once again for the top spot. There are usually around 18 races that make up the Grand Prix. Points are awarded according to your finishing position, 1st place earns 500 points, 2nd place 499, and so on. The scoring is separate for males and females. Your points total is obtained from your best 8 scoring races. These 8 races must include at least 2 races of 10 miles or more. Runners' individual points allocation also form the team scores for the club; the top 10 men and 10 ladies (vets top 5 men, top 5 ladies) are counted. Full details can be found on the SGP website http://sussexgrandprix.co.uk/ The clubs that tend to do the best are those with strength and depth across the sexes and age groups. So, don’t worry if you are not up there with the fastest in the club, if you compete in at least 8 races you are still likely to make a significant contribution to the team.

Whilst not all charities have their own mass participation events, the majority utilise third party events delivered by ‘commercial’ providers for fundraising activity. The Sports Fundraising Snapshot is our annual review of this market. Which are the biggest events for sports fundraising? Working with our charity partners and ‘justcharity.org’ we have updated our estimate of the UK’s 25 most important mass participation sporting events for fundraising.

The AGM followed the next day, Tuesday 6th March. I thank the old committee for their support during last year and the work they put in on behalf of the club. In particular I would mention those that stood down, namely Sandy Sheppard, Catherine Leather, Simon Davis and Andy Dingle. The new committee for next year was voted in at the AGM. I welcome newcomers Nicole Rickett, Tom Harrison and Roger Pritchard. I look forward to working with you all. We have just been through a spell of late Winter, just when we thought Spring had arrived. It caused two track training sessions to be cancelled. Another sign of Spring is that the Winter cross country season has ended. The last Hampshire League race was run at Aldershot on Saturday 10th February.
