Hey clubmates,

As we draw 2025 to a close, a personal reflection on the year puts Excelsior ADC at the core of a very challenging but fulfilling time.

I don’t know about you, but WL training nights are the highlight of my week. I’d be lost without this club!

James has worked stoically as coach, mentor, manager and athlete to get us all (including himself) on the road to competition.

I would like to do a whip around to say thank you to Coach James this Christmas for all his time, effort and attention that he’s dedicated to us while providing a safe, inclusive, and affordable environment for us to grow and get stronger in.

James is competing in the English Masters this December and has his eyes on the Europeans in Belgium next year.

Please join me in raising some pocket money for him (flights, accommodation etc.) as a small thank you for all he has done for us!

Yx
