  • Post Christmas party: Annual gathering held in January to beat those New Year blues. Many thanks to everyone who joined us at The Star on Saturday 13th January for the 2024 gathering. It was great to see everyone and it looked like everyone had a great time.
  • Annual London Marathon pasta party: Usually held on the Thursday evening before the marathon. In 2023, 40 people enjoyed spaghetti and lasagne at the club. In 2024 it will be on 18th April.
  • Summer BBQ 2023 – we celebrated the club’s 40th anniversary at Lingfield Sports Assoc. ground on 16th July. All 50+ present enjoyed a great time, which included the traditional rounders game. The venue has been booked again for Sunday 11th August 2024.
  • Annual Christmas Handicap race – takes place December each year. For a small entry fee, all runners receive ‘prizes’ in the VSSC afterwards. The 2023 winner was Marije Field and she now holds the Matt Bennett trophy for one year. The club also raised £500 on the day for suicide prevention charity, PAPYRUS, plus almost £400 in other donations.
