Easter with Beeston AC

 

Hello everyone – details of news and runs below.

 

Welcome to new members Amy Cooper and Karen Shaw: happy running with BAC!

 

Memberships: memberships were renewed for all paid up members this week and you should have received an email from England Athletics confirming this, together with a link for your registration park containing your member card which you can download digitally. This will be important as it may be a requirement for anyone wishing to do the Summer League race at Chilwell Depot on 10th May to show this on entry to the Barracks.

 

Please check your junk folder if you cannot see the email in your in-box. If you believe you should have received an email and have not, please contact me and I will check your registration.

 

Trent 5, 24 May: Entry is now open for our own race on Runbritain. Tell all your friends!

Please note Attenborough Nature Reserve Path Closure: For those of us who regularly run around Attenborough Nature Reserve, one of the paths has been closed, probably for some time, due to a structural weakness of a bridge (Works Bridge) on the route. The path goes past the Works Pond on the map (see attached photo).
