Uckfield Matters Magazine Feb 2018

GET IN TOUCH AND GET ACTIVE
Active Uckfield wants to hear from your organisation
by Jeremy Hallett
On 22 February, Active Uckfield will be hosting a meeting with organisers from a
variety of different sport and activity groups from around the town to kick off a
coordinated approach to 2018.
We have already had 19 sports and
physical activity organisers in and around
Uckfield commit to meet us to see how
together we can better promote exercise
locally.
If you organise exercise type activities
and haven’t been contacted (or haven’t
replied yet), please get in touch as we
want as broad a range of people together
as possible on 22 February when we meet,
and we are sure that we will have missed
some people out as contact details can
quickly become out of date.
Recently it has been great to hear about
so many young people getting involved
with Grasshoppers football, Uckfield
Rugby Club and LeTennis.
Local triathlete Jamie Bedwell has said
about the accident he suffered in 2016
that “It’s made me live every day to the
maximum and I’m more determined than
ever to work hard and achieve my dream
of reaching the Olympics”.
So, while we might not achieve Jamie’s
fitness, little steps all help towards
achieving personal goals and those New
Year resolutions to take part in more
healthy activity, whatever your age or
physical condition, can be made.
If you can’t find the activity you want
locally, please get in touch with me on
07876 275031 or jeremyhallett59@gmail.
com, and I’ll see if there’s anyone that we
know of who you can join.
