Trail Junior Races - Tuesday 15 May - Help Required!
Help required please from adult club members
as well as parents of juniors!
We still need
- 4 more on car parking (we have 2) (5:30pm to 6:45pm so would suit those
wanting to run in the 7pm session)
- 3 more on registration and results (we have 2) (5:30pm to 8pm but we can let
at least one leave early at 6:45pm)
- 7 more marshals (we have 16) (ideally 6pm to 8pm, but if you can arrive by
6:20pm we have locations for you)
- 0 more dedicated first aiders (we have 6) but if you marshal please let us
know if you are a qualified first aider as we will distribute our
"extra" first aiders around the course.
- 5 more on the finish line (we have 7) (6:15pm to 8pm).
- 1 tail runner (6:15pm to 8pm)
Please note that the times above are BST
(British Summer Time) not VST (Valley Striders Time), you must arrive on time.
If you can help, please email [email protected]

Meanwood
Trail Junior Races - Tuesday 15 May - Runners Required!
Firstly a reminder
that if you want to run, you must register before Sunday 13 May at 10pm.
Registration does not oblige you to run, but
we hope most will!
So far we have 45 registered in total of whom
- 28 are V S junior members (this is less than a third of our membership)
- 3 have been invited by VS members (I was hoping that each member would invite
at least one friend from their school running club/team or football team or
from their class)
- 4 are on the V S waiting list (there are a lot more on the waiting list, all
are invited)
- 10 are in Leeds Junior Race Series.
Note that V S junior members may invite up to
2 friends and V S adult members may invite junior relations.

enter the races, click on www.valleystriders.org.uk/mvjr.htm

York Track & Field
For those who want to try track and field but
don't want to get stuck in rush hour traffic on a Wednesday evening on the M1
or M621, we are looking at the York Summer League.
There are 3 meetings to go, all are at
weekends, all have a full programme of events and athletes can choose to take
part in up to 3 events at each meeting (unlike West Yorks evening meetings when
most age-groups only have 2 events available).
Dates are Saturday 2 June, Saturday 16 June
and Sunday 15 July. You don't have to
enter all, you just enter one at a time, £2.50 per event, max
3 events per meeting, can do different events at different meetings.
Josie Pawley has been to the first meeting of
the league today and Graham says "It was good. Good location with a
covered stand to keep you dry (or cool) and friendly organisation. Mixed abilities so even slower runners would enjoy it and not feel
out of their comfort zone".
If we decide to enter, we'll use the sessions
at GSAL to practice the field events.

you are interested, keep the dates free.

West Yorks Track & Field Meeting 2 at Cleckheaton

last Wednesday, including Billy and Christa making debuts at track & field

Again a mention for Isaac and James who'd
never high jumped before but had prepared by watching YouTube videos.
