Membership fees are now due (please ignore this reminder if you have already paid): the preferred method is to pay by bank transfer to account 62266253, sort code 40-10-06. It’s still £20 and once you’ve paid please let Juliet Jones know. Alternatively, you can pay by cheque, payable to Beeston AC, and send to Mrs J Jones, 56 Thoresby Road, Bramcote, Nottingham NG9 3EN. England Athletics fees are due 1 April and EA membership will be renewed for 2020/21 for everyone who has paid. By now you may all have received notification that the fee is being held at £15 (EA had planned to raise this to £16 for 2020) but the Club did keep the 2020 membership fee at the same rate as for 2019 in any case.
In other news, as a result of the current situation, sadly it will no longer be possible for the Trent 5 to go ahead; hopefully Simon and team will be able to make arrangements for the handicap races to take place in due course. The weekly news emails are likely to become less frequent as there is less to report. |

1. Club runs
It is with great regret that, following advice from England Athletics, all Club events are cancelled including runs and social events. We are now running on our own (currently allowed once a day) – keep safe everyone, it’s good to see your runs on Strava including the 19 minute Covid-19 relay. |
