What do you think of our front cover this month? We're<br />
celebrating 'active', and that 'active bunch' are just some<br />
of those people that get people moving or get people<br />
involved in <strong>Uckfield</strong>.<br />
Time for a name check! On the cover are: Alistair<br />
Ward, local fitness expert; Dan Sims, whose passion is<br />
getting people running; David Hall, part of an active<br />
group of volunteers who look after our town's nature<br />
reserves; Laura Scott, dedicated Brownie leader; Heidi<br />
Greenwood, who is passionate about getting women and<br />
girls involved in rugby; Michelle Clark, who runs fun<br />
adult dance classes; Ryden Temple, local trampolining<br />
star; and Tim Cottingham, who is <strong>Uckfield</strong>'s tennis<br />
guru, getting kids and adults of all abilities active on the<br />
court. Some of these great folk are also featured in our<br />
Community Champions section (p22).<br />
There's so much to do in and around <strong>Uckfield</strong> - from<br />
gentle walks, to bowls; dance to tennis. Table tennis<br />
is on offer in Active <strong>Uckfield</strong>'s next have a go day (p20).<br />
Have a think about what you might try and see if you can<br />
get more active (p34).<br />
Easter's approaching, so Zoe rounds up some of the<br />
est places to go for eggs, bunnies and Easter fun (p14).<br />
Our own Nicki tells us about her journey to Living with<br />
Less (p28), and Michelle encourages us to Walk Back to<br />
Health.<br />
With local elections coming up, there are other ways to<br />
get active, too. Find out how you could stand for office<br />
and what's happening when in The Voice (p41).<br />
If you're inspired to try a new way to be active, perhaps<br />
you'd let us know. Get in touch.<br />
Have a fabulous, active <strong>April</strong>!<br />
