Southern Cross Country - Parking & Chip Timing

On Saturday Brighton will play Newcastle in the FA Cup and expect a large crowd.

This will impact on the availability of Parking particularly for the later races (including

Senior women at 2.05pm  and Senior Men at 2.50pm). If you are in one of these later races

it is best to arrive early or go by train (change at Brighton or Lewes for Falmer).

BTW (especially senior men)  there will be a chip check before the start as last year and as last

year the race will start on time even if there are those who are not on the start line.

Feel free to contact me for further info, franklynyoung@wadac.org.uk

CC6 Badger Farm

We had a very large male team at Badger farm all who ran brilliantly, unfortunately we only had 2 ladies not enough to make a female team but the 2 ladies who ran both achieved good positions.

Currently we still hold position 8 in the CC6 league.
