It is with great sadness that we inform you that Faye Holden has sadly passed this morning. She has been fighting a brave and courageous battle against cancer over the last few months but has always remained very positive throughout. She has been a great ambassador for Athletics at Pendle Athletic Club over the years, no hurdle has been too high, no sand pit too long, no cross country too muddy and she has run many a lap !  She has always been the first to help out officiating and has met many people and been a great friend to everyone over the years through her athletics. She has also been a great inspiration to fellow athletes at the Club and has loved every minute helping everyone over the years especially our young athletes.  In honour of Faye, the Club will be renaming the Endeavour Trophy to the Faye Holden Endeavour Award, in recognition of athletes who go above and beyond in their training and competition, a trophy that Faye herself has held over the years.

She will be greatly missed by us all.

Hi all, I’ve been asked by the event organisers to see if there are any Pendle AC runners who fancy having a bash at the virtual East Lancs Fell Champs this summer. Would be really good to see a few Pendle AC names in the results! ? Here’s the link with all the details –

Monday Young Athlete Group.

We are back at Seedhill track on Monday, 25 March, 7- 8 p.m.  Don’t forget you have to pay at reception to use the track – presently £3.90.  If you have an ACTIVO card, it has been confirmed, that it can be used – there has been some confusion recently regarding the use of these cards on ‘club nights’. The money for using the track is collected by Pendle Leisure Trust and does not go to the club.  If you need any information regarding the ACTIVO pass speak to Gavin at Seedhill – it does work out cheaper if you know your child will be regularly attending the coaching sessions and it can also be used at the swimming pools and some junior gym sessions.

Fisher More indoor training February half-term

Fisher More closes for half-term on Friday, 15 February for one week.   There will be no training on Monday, 18 February at Fisher More but, Daemon will be at Seedhill track for an outdoor session, 7-8 p.m.  The Young Athlete Wednesday session during half-term, will also go ahead as usual, 7-8 p.m.

The Monday Young Athlete group will return to Fisher More on Monday, 25 February and we anticipate the last indoor session will be on Monday, 18 March, returning to Seedhill on the 25th March.

TRAINING WEDNESDAY 23.1.19 – CANCELLED

We have been down to assess the track in respect of the ice and have made the decision to cancel sessions tonight (Wednesday) as the high jump area is covered in ice and snow and the track has large sections of ice on it – your safety is paramount. The throwing area also has ice on it – Derek has taken the decision to cancel the throwers also.

INDOOR TRAINING AT FISHER MORE

We have been told over the weekend that Fisher More has moved the date of their mock exams and will need use of the sportshall on Monday, 21 and Monday, 28 January.  Usually, if the hall is needed it is just for a week.  As it is a fortnight there will be training at Seedhill track, 7-8 p.m. on Monday, 21st and 28th January, returning to Fisher More on Monday, 4 February.
