Current Committee

Photo	Name and Role
	Andy Buck – Club Chairman
Andy has been running for most of the past 40 years. His first Sheffield Half Marathon was in 1984, and his first fell race was the Mickleden Straddle a few years later (in road shoes!) He’s very rarely seen on tarmac, apart from the occasional Parkrun, but can often be found at cross country and fell races. Andy has been the club chair since 2014.

	Nicky Nield – Vice Chair	I have been on the Committee since 2018. My role is that of Vice Chair, standing in for Andy Buck on the rare occasions when he is not available. My background is in the law of child protection. I joined Striders in late 2013 following completion of the excellent 5-10K course. Predominantly I am a (slow) road runner with the odd trail race thrown in but I really enjoy volunteering for any of the Striders’ events. I hold the Leader in Running Fitness qualification and you will usually see me down at Heeley on a Monday evening when I will either be leading or supporting the slower groups or just going for a run. In terms of my work for the Committee, if you look at the website for the various guidance and codes of conduct you can be pretty sure I will have had a hand in them. If you see me down at Heeley or elsewhere do have a chat about any issues you would like to discuss.
