Hi all – information about next week’s club runs and other news is below.
Well done: to John Walker on his successful Yorkshire Marathon – we’ll look forward to some dot watching in a year’s time! Also well done to the Beestonites who undertook the first cross country of the season at Markeaton Park last Saturday.
Single Gravs handicap, Wednesday, 10th November 6.30 pm: this will be held prior to the AGM. 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.
AGM: The AGM is scheduled to take place on 10 November after the Single Gravs Handicap at the Marina.
If you are interested in any of the vacant roles on the Committee – and this now includes the Road League Secretary post as well as Ladies’ Representative, Member Representative and Chair – please send in your nomination with the name of your proposer and seconder by 26 October. In addition, if you wish to nominate anyone for Athlete of the Year, the closing date for receipt of your brief paragraph, plus name of a seconder, submitted to this email address is Midnight 26 October. The same deadline applies for anyone wishing to propose a suggested amendment to the Constitution.
