A century for Centurion George!
Our congratulations to go out to the club's oldest member, George Eastwood, who turned 100 years of age on 23rd April 2024.
George joined Woodford Green AC in 1972, when he was 48 years old. He soon took up race walking. In May 1976 the club promoted a 24-hour walk at Ashton Playing Fields, and George recorded a distance of 115 miles 1705 yards.
He went through 100 miles in a time of 20 hours, 29 minutes, 39 seconds. This earned him membership of the Centurions club, whose members have walked 100 miles within 24 hours.
In 1996 George was made a Life Member, primarily for his exceptional construction-related contributions towards the club's facilities.
