Check out Donald Brown’s latest sculpture to mark the London Olympics. This work has meant that Donald has been nominated for the 2013 Cultural Artist Award and he will be going to Atlanta, USA to receive it in April. Well done Donald. To see Donald talking about his sculpture, go on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haju6DKk4kA. It’s an intersting video.
Regional Sportshall Final WINNERS!
Congratulations to Mollie Darrock, Chase Hansle, Michael Iwanowicz and Chrissie Prince who represented Birmingham in the Regional Sportshall Final at the weekend. The Birmingham team won EVERY age group. What a result. Well done.
No sprints group or throws with Graham tonight (Thurs).
Due to the snow, there will be no sprint or throws session with Graham tonight (Thurs). Please spread the word! Other groups may still be training. You’ll need to contact your coach.
The sprint/long jump/hurdles group will be indoors at the high performance centre at the Alexander Staium Perry Barr tomorrow (Friday) from 5.30 – 7pm. It costs £2.10 for under 16 and £4.20 for over 16. If you fancy it, come along. You pay at the main Alenxander Stadium reception, they’ll give you a wrist band and then you walk across to the indoor centre.
Over and Out.
No 5 – 6 pm induction group tomorrow
Due to the snow, the 5 – 6pm induction group won’t be on tomorrow. (Tuesday).
Induction 5 – 6pm Tuesday group starts back on Tues 22nd January.
Our Induction Group for 7 – 9 year olds starts back on Tues 22nd Jan, 5 – 6pm. Anyone who’s interested should get to the clubhouse with their child at 5pm on Tuesday 22nd Jan. It’s £1 a session which you pay in the clubhouse before the session starts.
Training in the Christmas Holidays
Merry Christmas!
Just to say that during the school holidays, the junior groups are training 10 till midday on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays (with no session on Christmas Day and New Years Day). If you have been told something different by your coach then obviously turn up at the times they’ve told you! But for any parents who aren’t sure, if you bring your child to train at 10am on Tue, Thurs or Sunday, there will be someone to coach them.
Have a relaxing Christmas break!
No Sprints Squad training tomorrow (Thurs 13th Dec) and no long jump/hurdles training on Fri 14th Dec
The track is being cleaned today, tomorrow and Friday, so we are unable to use it. The distance groups will go running on the roads, but us sprinters, long jumpers and hurdlers really need a track. So there is no sprint training tomorrow.
Also, it is the monthly Sportshall competition on Friday at Stockland Green Leisure Centre, 7.15pm till 9.45pm, for athletes in school year 6 to school year 10.
