I am pleased to be secretary and treasurer of three police sports clubs and also sit on the committee of the Police Sport UK Athletics Section.

Lancashire Constabulary County Sports & Social Club

Sport, fitness and relaxation still plays a very big part in the police force and the Lancashire Constabulary Club is no exception. Members of every UK police force have an opportunity to take part in the range of 30 to 40 sporting activities and Lancashire is represented in nearly all of these.

The Lancashire club has over 3800 members and around 450 of these, including myself, participate in the variety of annual national police competitions.

Lancashire Constabulary Athletics & Running Section

I have been Athletics secretary since 1991 we have around 250 members who participate in a range of running related activities.

Our website is incorporated within the Lancashire Club main site at:-

Northern Police Cross Country League

There are ten police forces from the North of England taking part in a series of eight cross country fixtures. The season starts in October and ends in March. Around sixty runners take part in each fixture and despite ever continuing restraints on time off from work the league has gone from strength to strength in recent years.
