It is with great sadness that we announced that Linda Cushing passed away on Tuesday 24th March at 18.59 at home. Lyn gave cancer a brave and strong fight.

The funeral is Monday 6th April at 11am. Unfortunately, only 10 family members will be attending.

Lyn’s Daughter Claire has asked that candles be lit at this time for “her Beautiful Mam”.

Claire has said “after all this madness has passed. The girls and I will be organising a Memorial and a celebration of her life. I will of course keep you all informed, as I know how many lives she touched and how loved she was.”

As Chair of East Wales, I echo the thoughts of Lyn’s club, Rhymney Valley, Lyn was passionate about our sport. She was inspiring, strong, caring, committed and supportive, to name just a few and wanted the best for everyone she came into contact with.

We are all absolutely devastated to have lost our amazing East Wales Track & Field Secretary, member of EWRAC and my own personal friend.

 East Wales RAC send our condolences and love to Lyn’s family at this time.

Over 20 junior athletes from 8 different clubs at today’s East Wales endurance athletics regional program training day at Bryn Mawr School. Great to see the athletes really engaging and enjoying training together. Great sessions, ideas shared, and real development on show.

Fantastic attitude from all 31 junior athletes from six different clubs who attended the first East Wales endurance regional training day for the 2019-2020 season.

Great training session in the morning, where athletes worked together in various groups to really pull each other along.

The conditioning and athlete lifestyle workshops in the afternoon introduced athletes and coaches to different aspects which will allow them to further their athletic development.

A really productive day and a great start to what promises to be a very successful program at developing our talented athletes and their coaches in East Wales.
