Team CSC Newsletter - September 2023
Member of the Month - Paul Hanson
Paul has been a member of CSC since 2014. He has participated in both internal events such as in house throwdowns (we can always rely on a good outfit), charity days and the CrossFit Open. In addition to this, Paul has represented the box in team external competitions in the past.
Paul has been an integral part of CSC and its evolution over the past 10 years. Not only through his training but offering his help and support with many ‘hands on’ jobs that have taken place, including our 2020 refit. Paul’s class attendances show that he has remained consistent over the duration of his membership, however he has taken a break recently due to a long-term injury. It’s brilliant to have Paul back in classes now as he continues his rehabilitation to full fitness, scaling and adapting sessions accordingly.
We see Paul as our resident loveable rogue. He brings positivity and a good attitude to every session helping to create a brilliant atmosphere.
Congratulations, Paul!
