VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT TRAINING SESSIONS

If you can help, please email Dennis at: [email protected]


CLUB 25th ANNIVERSARY

West Cheshire AC celebrates its 25th anniversary in April next year, and Dennis is hoping a sub-committee can be formed to plan ideas to celebrate and mark the occasion. Club members with stories or photos to share and junior members doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award and wanting to be involved in the project should contact Dennis at: [email protected]


PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

All parents/ guardians of youngsters attending track training sessions are reminded to collect them from the track, not from the car park. The club wants to ensure everyone stays safe and that every youngster safely leaves every track training session.
We also ask that all youngsters attending track training sessions should bring along warm clothing, preferably waterproofs, hat, gloves, and a bottle of water.

Many happy returns to the following club members who celebrate their birthdays this week:

Richard Batterham, Isabel Robertson, Lewis Parsons, Claire Bates, Mateusz Bakun, Thomas Rimmer, Satine Wearden, Rania Driouiche, Dayton Melbourne, Jacob Gardner, Faith Barlow-Gambles. 

And next week: Andrew Cooper, Morgan Munro, Ian Gloyne-Phillips, Steven King, Mac Hubbard, Kaden Sliwka, Sophia Rose Devoy, Eliot Oscar Quaglierini.


PLEASE HELP TO STAY IN TOUCH
We welcome contributions to your club newsletter from club members, be they about events that you have taken part in, impending marriages, additions to the family, or anything club-related that other members may be interested in. Feel free to contact Dennis Wall with any news.
