Subject: V S Mini-update - Meanwood Trail Recce Run & Lasagne

I already have two London Marathon reports and one Three Peaks report, so we’ll have a “normal” V S Update at the weekend.  (NB entries for 2010 London are now being taken via the website).

So for now, just a reminder about the recce run and/or lasagne next Tuesday (5 May)

(I think I put 4 May in the last email, I forgot that April only has 30 days!)

All please meet at Leos.  At 6:45 we’ll go for a very steady jog round 1 lap (1 mile) of the junior race

Then at 6:55 we’ll set off for the Meanwood Valley Trail Race senior route

As mentioned last week, we’ll break into 3 groups, with the first and second groups running the full 7.5 miles but the third group just reaching Meanwood Park, a distance of just under 6 miles.

And afterwards, lasagne at the club, say whether you want the carnivore or vegetarian version (both £3) and whether you want apple pie (£1.50 extra). 

Book preferably by email to [email protected] or text to 0777 5898 558 by 09:00 Monday morning.  Bookings after this time cannot be guaranteed.

Below is the list of marshals so far. 

• If you’re on the list but not available, please let me know
• If you’re not on the list and available to marshal, please let me know.  NEED 20 MORE!  The race is Saturday 16 May
• If you’re on the list and not allocated to a particular location, let me know where you’d prefer to be
• If you’re in a particular location and you’re available to come earlier and help a team leader set up (part of) the route, let me know
• I do need someone who uses Excel on a regular basis to help Xanthe and myself produce the results (yes, we’re going hi-tech), any volunteers?
• Does anyone have a lightweight folding table, suitable for the drinks station in Meanwood Park?  (We need several)
