The Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Ellesmere Port is just two weeks away and Sunday 25th March is set to be an unforgettable day. Loads of local people have already signed up, but there’s still time to bag your place! Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something amazing – enter the Mile at www.sportrelief.com.

Setting off from Stanney Oaks Athletics Track the West Cheshire Mile will be four laps of a synthetic surfaced all-weather track and is set to be an incredible event. All the money raised by the public will help people living unimaginably tough lives right here on our doorstep, across the rest of the UK and in some of the world’s poorest countries.

Event organiser Dennis Wall said: “The West Cheshire Mile is set to be an amazing event. It’s fantastic that so many people of Ellesmere Port are gathering together to show their support for Sport Relief 2012. But we want this to be the best Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile yet – so raise your game, enter the West Cheshire Mile today and join the rest of the nation to raise plenty of cash for an incredible cause!”

Participants can choose their own distance, from 1, 3 or 6 miles, and can complete it in any way they fancy. From teeny tots with their mums and dads, to super sprinters up against the clock, there’s something for everyone on the big day.

Sport Relief has a unique history of dedicated people doing extraordinary things to go the extra mile. Last September, David Walliams started Sport Relief off with an epic splash when he completed the BT Sport Relief Challenge: Walliams vs The Thames. Despite battling a nasty bacterial bug and bitingly cold water, David swam a staggering 140 miles, and has so far raised over £1million for Sport Relief. And there’ll be even more amazing celebrity challenges to get the whole nation geared up for the Sport Relief Weekend on Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th March 2012.

Work has now started on the Stanney Oaks Athletics Track and members are being requested to stay away from the track and field facilities until further notice.

The club can still use the indoor facilities, but please treat the track and field facilities as out of bounds until the repair work has been completed.

Please could all West Cheshire AC club members seriously consider attending a Club Conference that will be held at Cheshire County Sports Club (Main Building Board Room), Plas Newton Lane, Chester, CH2 1PR on Sunday March 18th, between 2pm and 8pm (*PLEASE NOTE the change of time and location*, which were originally from 12pm at the Ellesmere Port Holiday Inn)
With the prospect of a new leisure centre appearing on the Stanney Oaks School site (final build 2015), we need club members to put ideas in place which will enhance the existing facilities we currently use. The Conference is an opportunity to discuss and debate your ideas, not just about our facilities, but about the club as a whole and about the direction we want to move in.

The event will include a selection of tea/coffee, a buffet lunch (sandwiches, chips, salad), mineral water, and confectionery.

Please contact Dennis Wall at [email protected] to confirm your attendance.

Olivia represented Cheshire at the English Schools\’ Combined Events Championships at Exeter in September, and is currently ranked 13th in the UK heptathlon ranking lists for her age.
Baker, who celebrated her 16th birthday this week, is excited at the prospect of her trip to London after winning the under 17 women\’s shot put title with 11.72m at Sheffield in last month\’s Northern Indoor Championships.
Ranked third for her age in the UK ranking lists for shot put, Baker won both the Cheshire County Schools and Clubs titles and celebrated success at the Inter Counties Schools Championship staged at Birmingham.
She finished third at last year\’s UK Schools Games at Sheffield\’s Don Valley Stadium with a put of 11.39m.
The talented duo will rub shoulders with the most talented young athletes during the four day event which provides the nation’s school children the opportunity to really feel like they are part of the Olympic experience.
A total of 35,000 people are expected to be present on the Olympic Park during the School Games which will present a great chance for thousands of young people from School Games-registered schools to join in the excitement.
The Games will feature around 2,000 young people as competitors, volunteers, officials, reporters and stadium announcers clearly showing the range of roles that young people can play in the organisation and delivery of major sporting events.
