A plea from one of the club’s new Life Members

A Life Membership – what a wonderful surprise! I thought I’d take this opportunity to appeal to some of you to come along and help us keep our family-friendly, competitive club running smoothly.
As well as being an athlete and coach, I am a member of the club committee, an official and a team manager. On this note, the club always needs officials for meetings to go ahead, and as the club gets points for providing them, officials are vitally important. So if you would be happy to do a one day officials course and help out at some meetings in the summer, please leave your details at the coffee bar. The same goes for team managing and coaching.
If you think you could volunteer your services for our lovely athletics club, please leave your details behind the coffee bar and myself or another committee member will get back to you. Who knows….you might be collecting your silver ‘Life Membership’ plate one day in the future!
Many thanks,
Meg Evans

A Heart of England win for RSCAC

20140831_155859Well done to all athletes who competed in today’s Heart of England. WE WON THE MATCH! This put us third in the league so we just missed out on promotion but an excellent win today nonetheless.

There were too many successes to mention everyone by name so I just want to say a big well done to everyone.

A special mention to our under eleven medalists (pictured here)….Evan Pritchard (75m silver, 11.2s ), Freya Liddington (75m silver, 11.6s and howler gold 30.04m) & Joe Creed (75m bronze, 11.5s). Elsa Buchanan also claimed two medals but was unable to come today. Gold in the long jump, 3.94m & bronze in 600m, 2.04.3).

Venue change – Heart of England on Sun 31 Aug

I’ve just found out that the Heart of England on 31 Aug is now at Leamington, not Daventry. Apologies for any inconvenience. I’ve no idea why they have changed the venue. New address is;

Edmondscote Athletics Track
River Close
Leamington Spa
CV32 6AD

Please spread the word….I don’t want anyone unnecessarily going to Daventry!

Athletics AGM Tuesday 21st October 8pm in Clubhouse. New committee members needed.

Please take note of the date of the athletics club AGM. This meeting is the chance for you to voice any comments/concerns you might have. It is also the change to put forward yourself to be on the athletics club committee. If you would like to help run the club, please attend this meeting and put yourself forward. We urgently need new blood and because we have lost two of our younger members to university and to living abroad, we especially need people in the 16 – 30 age bracket. You will get the chance to know what is going on in the club and obviously will have a say in club activities when you attend a monthly meeting, which takes place 8 – 9/9.30pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
