Runs with Beeston AC

 

Hi all – information about next week’s club runs and other news is below.

 

Good luck to everyone doing the BMAF relays at West Park, Long Eaton on Saturday – the ladies/V65+ men set off at 12 Noon with the rest of the men following at 1.45 pm.  Come and support us if you are able to make it!

 

Good luck also to everyone running the Worksop Half Marathon on Sunday.

Vote for Athlete of the Year: an email with the voting link and information about the 7 athletes nominated has been sent out today to all paid up first claim members. The closing date will be Sunday 8 November, Midnight. Please can you get in touch if you don't receive the email (the email addresses were from profiles in England Athletics which hopefully will be up to date).


Single Gravs handicap, Wednesday, 10th November 6.30 pm: this will be held prior to the AGM, which will be at The Marina. Dave Cross is the guest handicapper. If you would like to run or volunteer to be a marshal, please leave a message on the Facebook post or send me a message to pass on if you aren’t on Facebook. It will be in the dark so a head or chest torch would be a good idea.

 

Christmas Party: The Club Christmas party will be held on Friday, 10 December at Chilwell Golf Club. Please let Phil Herd know via the Facebook post or by email if you would like tickets, £15 each. Disco and late bar to 12 Midnight.

 

Running Blog: The following may well be of interest to some: Katie Holmes of Holme Pierrepont RC writes a blog and recently she has published an article about the running clubs in Nottinghamshire, including Beeston AC. Her article is available at this link: https://runyoung50.co.uk/notts-running/ .
