Beeston AC Runs

 

Hi all – please find information about next week’s club runs – and the Beeston 5! – below.

 

Update about the Beeston 5 from Chief Marshal, Sophie Eadsforth:

 

Everyone has until Sunday night to enter, PLEASE DO SO. If we all encourage one friend, neighbour or work colleague to enter then we will increase the numbers nicely so there, I have set you all a challenge!

 

Thanks to all who have agreed to marshal for the race. As we still need more people to enter please let me know if you would rather enter, it is not likely to be a problem.

 

My updated list is as follows- James and Jackie, Dave Smith, Steve Mason, Gemma Smart, Jack Bibby, Karen Mitchell, Mike Davey, Charlie Pearce, Steve Brown, Teresa Godfrey, Karen Barnfield, Liz Rawding, Gary Fox, John O’Donnell, Clint, Charlotte Watts, Mick Lord, Nigel Turner (with Pet Shop boys), Sunil Sharma, Kim Butler, Matt Jones, Dan Rawson, Mihail, Genie, Alix Blockley and James Pinchin, Jen Beverley, Chris Robson, Jon Pitts, Bob Frake, Nigel Wright, Nigel Adcock, Phil Herd, Andy Hunter, Louise West, Gaby, Simon Barnes and Richard Upward, Penny and Paul Page, Louise and Anthony, Tim Hills.

 

The plan is for us all to meet at 6pm on the night for the Marshal briefing by the start/finish which is by the main car park in front of Wollaton Hall at the bottom of the hill. I will need Penny and Paul, Louise and Anthony and Tim to arrive at 5.30pm as I have put you all down for giving out numbers and then later being at the finish funnel. If this is a problem for anyone then please get in touch with me via sopheads@virginmedia.com or tel 07828 552977.

Please leave area once finished and don’t congregate

Awards prizes posted out after the race
There is no baggage drop
Please warm up away from the start
Please warm down away from the finish
Regarding our marshals, the main thing is to collect all plastic tape / rubbish afterwards and not use the bins on the park as the deer can get to them.
I can take rubbish into work as I have a trade contract with Nottingham City Council for refuge.
Regarding our volunteers at number collection, I will bring masks, wipes, hand gel and latex gloves. Volunteers are welcome to bring their own.


All events at Wollaton Park have colour incident codes which we must use in case of emergency.
“Code Pink” for instance means FIRE
“Code Blue” is a medical emergency
“Code Green” is a lost child.
There are 8 colours in total. I've printed 40 copies off for Sophie to hand out to marshals.
