Beeston AC Weekly News (or not!)

 

Hi all – hoping this newsletter finds you and family well.

There is very little to report at the moment so weekly emails will cease for the next week or two until there is some news.

Orders for kit: Simon Elliott is going to place an order for Club t-shirts (both short sleeve and long sleeve) and still has a small supply of face masks available (£6). For sizing please see our website at http://beestonac.com/club-kit . Cost £17.50 for a t-shirt and £20.00 for long sleeve tops. If you are interested please contact Simon at simonrun@me.com; alternatively he will post on Facebook and you can comment on his post. If you would like a buff, cost £7.50, please contact Jackie Welburn. Please let Simon know before MONDAY as he is placing the order then.

 

A reminder that the current situation for training, club runs etc, as per the EA website is as follows:

“From [5 November 2020], the UK Government is requiring everyone in England to stay at home, except for specific purposes, and not gather with other people who do not live in the same household, again except for specific purposes. As a result, the impact on athletics and running will include suspension of the following (we may update this guidance as and when more information from DCMS becomes available, for example, in relation to U18s  / disability provision):

·         All indoor club group coaching activity

·         All outdoor club group coaching activity

·         All indoor track and field competitions

·         All outdoor competition (track and field, cross country, road, trail, fell and multi-terrain)

·         All face-to-face coach and officials’ education

What can take place?

The UK Government has confirmed that you can exercise with people from your own household OR with one other person.

For athletics and running this means:

·         You can train with your household or one other person in a public outdoor space

·         1:1 coaching can take place in a public outdoor space following social distancing measures (Please note: We are seeking clarity on 1:1 coaching with U18s and disability athletes/runners)

·         Virtual training sessions can be delivered by qualified coaches

·         Virtual competitions will still take place, and a list of virtual road races can be found here England Athletics will continue to coordinate the Weekly 30

 

Club Runs:

For the time being these are suspended. However, you can follow the guidelines and find one other person to run with during the weeks ahead, the government has clarified this does not always have to be the same person.

 

AGM:

The minutes have now been circulated to all registered members. If you haven’t received your copy and should have please get in touch.
