SATURDAY MORNING TRAINING CANCELLED
Due to holidays and competition commitments this Saturday morning’s club training session at the EPSV Track has been cancelled.
Club training will resume as normal on Tuesday, August 7 (6.30-8pm).
THIS WEEKEND
Preston (PR2 1SG) is the destination this Saturday for our final Northern Track and Field League Division One match of the season. A coach has been booked and will leave Ellesmere Port Sports Village at 9.15am.
Please come along and support YOUR club.
For those who are driving it has been suggested the best route is to by-pass Preston on the M55.
We have been told the track is open with no stand so bring what you need for the day.
PLEASE HELP!
Volunteers are needed to ensure this year’s Guilden Sutton Six 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: [email protected]
And 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.
MANY THANKS
The Club conveys its thanks to Vikki Brett and Joanne Lark who have kindly agreed to look after the sale of club kit at the EPSV Track Office AFTER Tuesday night training sessions.
If any member requires a Vest (priced Β£17), Crop Top (priced Β£17), or a Hoodie (priced Β£12), they can purchase these items on a Tuesday night. Payment can be made by cash or by cheque (made payable to West Cheshire AC).
SIGN UP TO BECOME A CLUB OFFICIAL
Parents and helpers at the club wanting to provide back-up to our graded officials are being asked to support an officials course being hosted at Ellesmere Port Sports Village on Sunday, November 18.
Anyone wanting to be a field judge, track judge, timekeeper, or starter should contact Dennis Wall either at track training sessions or by email at: [email protected]
The club needs to strengthen it’s experienced unpaid volunteers and plan for the future if we want to remain in leagues and competitions.
ROAD RELAYS REMINDER
Two dates for your diaries are the Cheshire and North West Road Relay Championships at Delamere on Saturday, September 8, and the Northern Athletics Road Relay Championships at SportCity, Manchester, on Sunday, September 23.
Ellie Robinson has kindly agreed to do all club entries and help sort out the teams, and the club will pay the entry fees.
Please look out for the email that has been sent to all club members and let Ellie know if they want to take part in both or either of the events.
Please help Ellie by representing the club and supporting the two events.
