First outrun – 29th April, Ashby Folville

Routes mapped, sunshine ordered, pub warned – we’re ready for the start of the outruns! This Wednesday we are at the Carington Arms at Ashby Folville, running at 7pm. 

Gentle start to the season – wide, easy to follow paths, not too hilly, no mud (at the moment) or cows to worry about and both routes are relatively short (choice of 5 mile or 3 mile routes).

Please try not to fill the pub car park (they have other customers as well!) – a bit of car sharing and sensible use of the lane outside should see us right?

2015 AGM and membership fees

Thank you to everyone who came along last night (or sent apologies), all contributions much appreciated.

As ever, the tough bit is that membership fees are now due for the 2015/16 year and so we would ask those that weren’t able to pay last night to bring payment to a club run in the next couple of weeks – if you aren’t likely to be around, Theresa’s address is on the membership form (you can find one on the membership page) if you would like to deliver your payment direct (making clear who it is from!).  Rates for the new year are:

Senior: £30

Junior: £10

Joint: £55

Second claim: £20

For those who weren’t able to come along, attached below are a few handouts that are worth a read, including a brief review of the year in numbers, a request for feedback and details of a few upcoming relay events:

Juniors update – March 2015

There will be a break from junior training over Easter, with no training on 31st March, 2nd April, 4th April or 7th April.  Once training starts up again, after the clocks have changed, the venues will move for the summer.

From 9th April, Thursday sessions will be moving back to the country park, meeting at 6pm at the visitor centre.

From 14th April, Tuesday sessions will move back to KE7, meeting at 6.15pm.

These sessions will all be outdoors with no charge and they will be on in all weathers.

Details of this summer’s open meetings at Loughborough, and EA fees for the older juniors have been emailed to the juniors mailing list.
