Sport Direct XC Sunday 18 February
The next race will be at Bramley Falls Woods. We
need good teams of men and women to maintain our challenge for promotion.
Another local race, head out of Leeds on
Kirkstall Road, turn left at Kirkstall traffic lights past Morrisons and
BHS/Clover, across the little bridge and bear right up the old Leeds Bradford
Road for just over a mile, Bramley Falls is on the right. Arrive to
register between 10:00 and 10:30, race start is 11:00. (if there is any
change to these arrangements I will email next week)
Everyone who runs has an effect on the
overall scores, because any team who is missing a runner is penalised by the
number of points for last place, if you run, that last place is one additional
point, it might make all the difference.

Patrick and Paul were chipless. There had been a
problem that chips had fallen out of envelopes or had been removed by the GPO
as suspicious items (depending on which rumour you believed)
