NEWSLETTER
The latest issue of Valley Striders News is on its
way to you! When you get it, if you're wondering why there is a
yellow piece of paper inside, it's because the shop gave me window envelopes by
mistake and the yellow piece makes the address easier to read for your
postman.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Next Tuesday at Leos, 8:30 pm prompt
start
Agenda
- reports from committee
- election of new committee
- cross country
- races supported by Striders
- junior Striders
- UK Athletics proposals
- any other business
PIE AND PEAS
Will be served at the AGM from 8:15 onwards, so if
you're not running that evening, come early for the food and avoid the
queue.
Please let me know by email (or phone 289 2830)
whether you want meat pie or veg pie and whether you want mushy peas or baked
beans
CROSS COUNTRY
The cross country races are confirmed
as
- Sat 15 Oct York
- Sun 30 Oct Otley
- Sat 19 Nov Wakefield
- Sun 4 Dec Guiseley
Entries for the first race must be in by Sunday 1
October. Cost will be approx £6 in total for 4 races. If you want to
be entered, email
There are no entries on the day and swapping of
numbers is not allowed in any circumstances.
LONDON MARATHON
Good for age entries need to be in by 7
October. All entries need to be in by 21 October. Valley Striders
are likely to have some club places, more details to follow of how these are to
be allocated, but you must have made a 'proper' entry (and failed) to get in our
ballot.
BRASS MONKEY HALF
I was wrong. This took a little longer to
fill than my prediction. I predicted 7 days, it was actually
9.
LEEDS COUNTRY WAY
If you're looking for your pottery, they are still
making them. They had a problem with their suppliers so they weren't ready
on race day (and still aren't, as far as I know). I'll send out the
results in another email
CLUB HANDICAP RESULTS
Also to follow soon
