Valley Striders Athletics AGM - Tuesday 1
November
We've been working over the last
3 months to put together a new VSAC organisation such that the workload is
spread more widely amongst our club members.
We now have at least 3 club
members signed up to look after each of the aspects of the
club (except for race organisation), see http://valleystriders.org.uk/2016OrganisationSummary.doc
. If you want a bit more detail of what
each team does, see http://valleystriders.org.uk/2016RoleSummaries.doc
. Other discussion documents are linked
at www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsconst.htm.
If you want to find out more
about these teams, please email [email protected]
. If you want to join one of these
teams, either email the same address and/or come to
the AGM on 1 November.
Peco Cross Country
Thank you to the 97 seniors and 13 juniors
who have put their names forward.
Entries are still open and your deadline is 11:59pm
Saturday 29 October. Please email [email protected]
if you want to run.
Then (seniors) please transfer £3
to Sort Code: 53-70-00 A/c Number: 72143851 to cover the cost to enter the series,
including the race number. Please include your name and PECO as a reference.
Please note that "just" paying is
not sufficient as I will not be monitoring the AC Payments account this week,
nor will I be monitoring the VSAC Facebook group.
For more details of the dates, venues etc see 2 weeks' ago VSU www.valleystriders.org.uk/up161016.htm
Membership Fees (including juniors)
Many more payments have arrived this week,
thank you!
We now have 204 paid and 206 due, but I
suspect a few payments are being processing by the banks tonight. The list on the website www.valleystriders.org.uk/vsmemreg.htm
shows payments to 25 October
So if you've not yet paid, you are now in the
minority, please see 2 weeks' ago VSU www.valleystriders.org.uk/up161016.htm
for details how much to pay and how to pay.
