Lasagne / Grand Prix 2013 meeting

 

The Tuesday sessions will be followed by lasagne at 8:20pm - book at [email protected] before 10pm Sunday, choosing meat or veggie lasagne, and whether you want apple pie.  We will also be holding a meeting to discuss races for 2013 Grand Prix, so if you have a favourite race that you think should be included, come to the meeting.

 

If you’re reading this on Monday morning and haven’t booked lasagne, check on the website whether the deadline has been extended.  And/or come along early on Tuesday and see if there are any cancellations.

·         Valley Striders meet Scott Hall 6:45pm for steady 7 miles at 8 to 9 minute mile pace (with stops)

·         Kathy's Thursday group meet Scott Hall 6:45pm - click for location and more info

Note that Kathy’s Thursday group enjoyed Roundhay so much last week that they have now decided to alternate between Scott Hall and Roundhay, so it’s Scott Hall 1st & 3rd Thursdays, Roundhay 2nd & 4th.

 

Race Results / Performance Database

 

Graham Jones has been collecting all the race results for the year and we’re trying to get the Performance Database up-to-date ready for presentations of certificates on 14 December.

 

Please check the following link  www.valleystriders.org.uk/Races2012.xls  which lists 1,799 race results (to 30 November) in alphabetical order - and let me know if we’ve missed any.  NB only races naming a distance are included.
