25 Sussex referees attended a fitness event at Hassocks Football Club. The event was organised by Paul Saunders and John Flynn and covered warm up and dynamic stretching as well as excercises designed to improve endurance, speed and agility. Twelve referees were able to perform a 20 metre bleep test and everyone did a very creditable score. However MID Sussex RS youngster Tom Moore completed an incredible 13 levels (9 levels is the Fire Brigade entry requirement) WELL DONE TOM! I will forward everyone's results shortly.

After the session there was an opportunity for a blood pressure test.

I would like to thank a number of people in helping stage this event:-

* First and foremost all those that turned up and participated
* Paul Saunders without his help the event would have had to be cancelled
* Sussex FA who financially backed and supported the event throughout (which included wonderful refreshments both durng and after the session) - special mention to Martin Hollands, Darren Ford and Ashley Slaughter
* Dominic Lyons who kindly carried out the blood pressure testing with his own equipment
* Hassocks Football Club for allowing us to use their wonderful facilities
