For those wanting to train in comfort and warmth the NIA is opening its doors to the public for training between 1700hrs and 2100hrs on the following dates:
The cost is £3 for an adult and £2 for an U18 and OAP. For further details click here.
Our cross country teams kick off 2013 with the County Championships this Saturday. The Warwickshire Championships will be taking place at Leamington and race details are available here.
As an appetiser click here for a link to a youtube click from the recent Birmingham XC league race at Leamington showing the senior men tackle the stream crossing – given the recent rain I think you can expect to get wet feet at this race!
Good luck also to anyone competing at the Staffordshire County Championships in Wolverhampton.
For the armchair athletes there’s also cross country on TV this weekend, with the Great Edinburgh cross country being shown on BBC1 from 1pm.
We had a couple of runners competing in the Wheaton Aston Roman 10k. Ollie Haradence finished third in a time of 32.55. Paul Terleski was 17th in 36.40. Great running guys!
Race results and photos (like the one shown of Ollie splashing round the course) are available on Bryan Dale’s website here.
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!
The 100 club and Christmas prize draws were made on Thursday night and the winners were……..
The Christmas prize draw raised £92 for the club – thanks to everyone who took part.
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our members and helpers. All the best for 2013.

Well done to Laura Whittle who had a fantastic victory in the Telford 10k. She beat a quality field to win in a time of 34.14. Race results and photos are available on Brian Smith’s website here.
Vote Mo, Jess and David Weir for BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Click below links if you need a reminder why:
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.
Well done to everyone who ran in the third league race at Sandwell Valley. Highlights were a second successive victory for Elemena Saunders and a team victory for the U11 girls. The full results are available here.
Three Royal Sutton runners were tempted out of their beds on a cold December morning by the prospect of a post race Christmas Pudding. Steve Marklew (57.45), Dave Long (58.29) and Dave Liddell (1.03.24) all had great runs over the 10 mile course. And apparently the Christmas Puddings were good too!
