Can any under elevens who want to come to the end of cross country season meal please let Elsa or Zara know on Tuesday or Thursday at training.  The meal will be on 15th February at Pizza Express in Sutton. 4.30 – 6pm.  £11.50.

Would you be able to help the club out at competitions by becoming an official? You would be helping the club out massively because we get points for qualified  officials (we did in fact get promoted this year in the Heart of England League when our officials points were added on!) You could do timekeeping,  field judging (raking a pit, measuring how far a jump/throw is) or track judging (checking athletes stay in lane, checking batons are passed in the right box, making sure everyone runs the right number of laps in distance races &ordering runners as they cross the line).

If you think you can do any of these…can you attend the course on either:

15 March at the Pingles Leisure Centre, Nuneaton or

21 March at Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton

The club will pay for you to do the course. Please email rscac@hotmail.co.uk if you are able to help out and specify if you would rather be a track judge, field judge or timekeeper.  Or ask for Meg Evans at the club for more info.

Merry Christmas!

Please speak to your coach if you are unsure of Christmas training times (Brian’s group and the Sprints / jumps group times are detailed below) but generally…

Young athletes will be training  from ten till half eleven/midday on Tues and Sundays throughout the holidays.

Seniors are training six to eight as usual tomorrow (Tuesday 23rd).

No training on Christmas Day.

As far as I’m aware, there is no training on new years day but it is best to check this with your coach.

Merry Christmas!

Well done for tonight’s sportshall.  We had loads of great performances.  For photos go to http://www.billpaparazzi.co.uk

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
