PLEASE HELP!
Volunteers are needed to ensure this yearโs Guilden Suttonย 10k Road Race, being organised by West Cheshire AC, proves a big success on Sunday, 16th September, (11am start).
If you are available to help out please contact Dennis by email at dennis.wall1@ntlworld.com.ย If you are a club member who has entered the race or is planning to run the race then please ask someone to help out on your behalf. The 10k is followed by a one mile fun run which can be entered on the day.
Please try to help out, because money made from the event will be invested back into the club to subsidise transport costs and competition fees.

NEW HIGH JUMP COVER
The Club has bought a new high jump cover which is scheduled to be delivered this Monday morning, enabling the high jump beds to be housed outdoors for easier access for training sessions and competition.

STAYING HEALTHY
Club coaches Tim Durrant and Ian Ackroyd want to raise awareness to all young female club members about assessing their iron levels by having blood tests.
Articles recently written by athlete Bobby Clay about her training and health issues have flagged up warnings and the need for our female athletes aged between 13 and 17 years old to monitor their health. Ian and Tim will provide more details if asked.
