Happy Easter to All Club Members, Parents and Friends

HELP NEEDED AT CLUB TRIALS

The Club needs your help to organise the second part of the track and field trials to be held at the EPSV Track on the morning of Saturday 31st March (Easter Saturday). 8am set-up for 10am start.

Please let Dennis Wall if you can help at the Club Trials by emailing: [email protected]

PLEASE NOTE: No training will take place on the day of the Club Trials.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP FEES ARE NOW DUE

All club members should have received a reminder about renewing their club membership which is now due. Can everyone please renew their membership as soon as possible. More details about club membership can be found at: https://wcac.niftyentries.com/Membership

Anyone who is not renewing their club membership is being requested to send our club membership secretary, Debbie Baker, a quick email to: [email protected]

YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU

As in previous years, West Cheshire AC are tasked with providing a team of 40 enthusiastic marshals to support the Chester Half Marathon. In return, a generous contribution is made to our club funds by the half marathon organisers (Active Leisure Events), so all club members are likely to benefit from this because this money helps us to keep our membership fees low and subsidises coach travel for our teams to track events.

Marshalling at the Chester Half Marathon is always an enjoyable morning cheering on around 5000 runners (especially the many club members who are representing us). You’ll get a technical ‘Crew’ T-shirt and goody bag to take away with you. No previous experience is required. You will need to be available between 8am and 12 noon on the day of the race.

Can you please confirm by replying to an email sent from Ellie Robinson, if you are able to marshal on Sunday, 29th April. Please consider helping out even if you haven’t done it before, it would be good to have some new faces in the West Cheshire AC marshal zones this year.

COACHING AND OFFICIATING INVITE

Anyone wanting to get involved in coaching and/or officiating at the club should get in touch with Dennis Wall at: [email protected]

And please also take a look at the information about coaching and officials‘ courses.
