WCAC Newsletter #188, 14-09-18

SUPER SUNDAY!
Every member of the club is being urged to make this Sunday’s Essar Guilden Sutton 10k Road Race a big success story.

The main race starts at 11am and a lot of members not competing have kindly agreed to volunteer as race marshalls around the course or as helpers in and around the village hall.

A one mile fun run will take place on the day at 12.15pm (entry on the day) and medals will be awarded to all finishers.

It will be great to see as many members as possible turning out to support the club and the event.

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.

VACANCIES ON THE CLUB COMMITTEE
Chairman, Andy Carter, and Cross Country Secretary, Peter Smith, have both confirmed they are standing down from their committee roles at the next AGM. The club would like to convey it’s thanks to them both for their time in office,

We now need to ensure the chairman and cross country secretary roles are filled, so if anyone is interested and wanting more details they should speak to Andy or Peter ASAP.
