News on the 2019 Fell Championships is at https://www.nottsaaa.org/blog/14th-october-2018/notts-fell-championships-2019 . The format of the fell champs will be altered to a series, 3 races of which the best 2 race performances will count towards individual county medals.

 

8. Proposed Path Closure: Most of you will be aware that the new owner of the land near the Sailing Club is wishing to close the footpath from Attenborough to Long Eaton. Notts Walker Ramblers are putting in a Right of Way claim to save the route alongside the railway line. Further details at https://mailchi.mp/26e98bba728f/briefing-sheet-and-forms-download?e=9bcbc25127 . If you wish to complete and send in a user evidence form and claim map, these can be downloaded from the link above (please note address for Rachel Hobson is in fact 32 Mountbatten Way). This is a route well used by the Club, particularly during the summer months, and it would be a real shame to lose it.

Another reminder of the indoor track event being run by Notts Athletics Network at Sheffield. Closing date for entries is Wednesday, 21 November 2018. Full information at https://www.nottsaaa.org/blog
