Juniors Training on 5 April
Unless we get severe weather over the weekend,
we have a plan for next Tuesday and are able to invite all full paid-up junior
members (check on www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsmemreg.htm)
We will have 4 groups, one of which will be a
fell-running training session led by Ross and Simon,
two of our most experienced fell runners.
Simon is a qualified leader in Fell Running. Anyone wanting to run in this group must be
at Leos before 6pm on the night, and then we will select
Lasagne is on - for food at 7:15pm book at [email protected]
. Book before 10pm Sunday 3 April, choosing meat or veggie
lasagne (£3.50). Pay on the night, but note that if you order but don't turn
up, you will need to pay unless we can re-sell your food.
Other Sessions and Food on 5 April
At 6pm there will be a beginners/improvers
session. At 7pm, there will be a choice
of 3 sessions, experienced runners, intermediates and fell runners. The experienced runners
session will meet at Leos for 3 *10 mins at Eccup Res. The intermediates may do the same session,
but jog to the session up The Avenue rather than across the fields. For details of the fell session, see the
Facebook group.
Lasagne is on - for food at 8:30pm book at [email protected] . Book before 10pm Sunday 3 April, choosing meat or veggie
lasagne (£3.50). Pay on the night, but note that if you order but don't turn
up, you will need to pay unless we can re-sell your food.
Club AGM and Meeting of Parents
The new committee proposed in John Wallace's
email http://valleystriders.org.uk/AGM-22-Mar-2016-Announcement.htm
was voted in unanimously.
Notes from the Meeting of Parents will be
posted on the website soon.
West Yorkshire Track and Field League
Valley Striders
have entered this league. The first
event is on Sunday 17 April and then there are 6 more dates through the summer. For further information,
click on "Team Competition" in the top bar of the website. This includes a schedule and an entry form. Entries need to be in by 4 April.
Juniors are
encouraged to take part in field events as well as track, and hopefully we'll
do a bit of long jump training at GSAL in April. Note hat under-11's
(see definition on website) don't need EA affiliation.
Any
queries to [email protected].
Calderdale Way Relay and Bradford Millennium Way Relay
CWR is on Sunday 15
May and I think teams are now organised but more reserves would be welcome.
BMW is on Sunday 28
June. The selling point of BMW is that
it goes nowhere near Bradford, instead you'll see
Bingley, Haworth, Laycock (near Keighley), Silsden and Ilkley. http://saltairestriders.org.uk/site/bradford-millennium-way-relay/
For
more information, click on "Team Competition" in the top bar of the
website. If you want to run and/or
if you have any questions please email [email protected].
Farewell parkrun on 2 April - from John and Sarah
A
reminder that John & Sarah are having their farewell parkrun at Roundhay
this Saturday.
RESULTS
Peco Relays
The VS Boys team had to make a late substitution but still
their team (all year 6 and under) finished 2nd boys team
overall.
Due to a shortage of marshals and sub-optimal signage, Keira
was one of three juniors who took the wrong route on her lap, consequently
losing significant time, otherwise the VS Girls
"A" would have won the easter eggs.
The VS Girls "B" team consisted of two year 5's
and one year 2 - I'm sure they were the youngest team in the event. They came away with a great result.
14 teams finished.

Liz Reddington was selected for the Peco W50+ representative
team and she was just 2 seconds slower than the fastest in her team, running
29:22 for the approx. 3.1 mile lap Unfortunately her
team were beaten by the West Yorks Winter League Team, as were all the Peco
teams, a 0-6 away win.
The
Valley Striders Club team (qualifying criteria at least 1 lady and at least 1
vet) were beaten by 8 of the representative teams and a Nidd Valley M40
team. Sadly the other team ahead of them
was a Club team from Kirkstall Harriers so it was virtual silver medals for
VS. A good battle between the two other
VS teams was won by Team Hussey, who had a solid anchor leg from Jean, a steady
catch-up leg from Bob and a speedy final leg from John who overtook 7 other
teams (including Becky).
