Not so many Club members completed the BOFRA fell running championships this summer, but those that did had a great time and made lots of friends.

Ruby Schofield won a prize in the U12 girls coming fifth.  Alex and Gregan Baker won championship prizes and Club coach Sarah won the U23 ladies.

 

The latest round took place on a sunny but very muddy course at Hyndburn.

Don’t forget that most of our races are entry on the day.  Ask your coach if interested.

On Saturday 1st December there is a new local road race.  Full details on Trawden AC website.

Please will you let all your Coaches and Athletes know that the above Championships have been changed to last weekend in May. The powers that be, (UKA), decided that they have to be on the that weekend 25th and 26th May 2013. If we didn’t have them then we would not be allowed a permit.
With it being a Bank Holiday and half term athletes and parents need to know the date change early..
Thank You Margaret

Paul and Christine have up to date details of coaching courses.  If interested please ask.  The Club will pay for these.

Please do offer to help, we need qualified coaches for both insurance and to ensure that our young athletes get the most out their athletics.

Training on 29th October is at Seedhill for all squads.  Monday 5th November sees the young athlete group moving to Fisher More School on Mondays only with a start time of 18:45.

We are short of coaches for the next couple of weeks, so thanks to those people who have agreed to help out.

Richard Marchant has sent me lots of photos.  For the moment here are a couple:

The Liverpool event is held jointly with a national XC series.  It is well worth going to see some famous faces.

This does mean that the race groupings and timings are different to the normal Mid lancs arrangements.  Please don’t travel all that way and then miss your race!

Dear Team Managers
The fixtures for the 2012 – 2013 Mid Lancs. League Cross-Country season are now on the website but, in case you haven’t read them, I’d like to confirm them with you as they have changed from those discussed at the Fixture Meeting.  There has been one main change – a cross-over between Kendal and Lancaster because this suited the organizers better.

The confirmed fixtures are as follows:
2) Liverpool Cross-Challenge – Sat 24 November 2012
3) CROOKLANDS, KENDAL – SAT 8 DECEMBER 2012
4) Hyndburn – Sat 12 January 2013
5) LANCASTER UNIVERSITY – SAT 9 FEBRUARY 2013
6) Skelmersdale – Sat 2 March 2013

I would be grateful if you can pass on this information to your team members.
Thank you.
Dawn

This is Paul’s squad that meet on Monday’s at 7pm.

In previous years we have moved to Pendle Vale School, along with the Young Athlete and Endurance squads, for the winter.  Most of the training was still outside.  Unfortunately the School has cancelled our booking and the young athletes are now going to Fisher More instead.

A decision has been made that the Intermediate Squad will stay at Seedhill track.  This is because of the safety implications of running at Fisher More compared to Pendle Vale.  At the latter the intermediate squad made use of the fit trail and didn’t go out of the school grounds.  At Fisher More training would be a road run.

We know that some parents will have to visit both sites for different children.  Paul will wait at Seedhill track until all of his group have been collected; please ask your children to stay inside the Seedhill gates and not wait on the roadside.

We are still short of coaches for this group.  Paul has a commitment on one Monday per month and is occasionally away on business at other times.  If we cannot get more support then some sessions will have to be cancelled.
