Another unashamed request for sponsorship - Firewalk coming soon....

It's not long now until my Firewalk in support of Leuchie House - this Friday night I'm walking 20 feet over embers burning at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit!!  I'm starting to get a wee bit nervous, but its all for a very good cause.

For those of you that don't know, Leuchie House offers respite short breaks to enhance the lives of people (and their families) living with Multiple Sclerosis, Huntingdon's, Parkinson's, stroke, spinal injuries and other long term conditions.

Fund raising has been going well - thanks to everyone who has donated so far, it is greatly appreciated.  I'm still a bit short of my target so any further support you can offer would be great!

ALNWICK - 23rd JUNE - CLUB OUTING - UPDATED.

LAST CHANCE FOR A SEAT ON THE BUS.

 

A BUS HAS BEEN PROVISIONALLY BOOKED FOR SUNDAY 23RD JUNE.

IT WILL DEPART HALLHILL ABOUT 08:00 (ish).

WE HAVE STILL TO ARRANGE A PLACE TO GO FOR A MEAL AND A FEW DRINKS AFTERWARDS.

 

HOWEVER, WE HAVE TO CONFIRM THE DETAILS OF THE BOOKING BY THIS FRIDAY )7TH JUNE) IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY TOLD STUART THAT YOU WANT TO COME ALONG THEN PLEASE DO SO BY END OF PLAY ON THURSDAY (WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE AGM).

The Alnwick Trail Run on the 23rd June is a club championship event.
It's also been decided to try to make a bit of a day out of it. To this end we are thinking of hiring a "charabanc" to take us there and bring us back .... and stop off for a meal somewhere.

For £5 extra we could even get one with a roof.

The "race" itself is actually three. Runners can take their pick of the 5K, the 10k or the half marathon.

All races start at the same time (10:30)

Please let Stuart know if you wish to go one the bus, and how many places you want. However, please - don't simply shout at him as he runs along on a Tuesday or Thursday night - he is liable to forget. Best to email him or catch him in one of his rare quiet and contemplative moments.

The club will pay for some of the travel costs, but we would expect runners to contribute a minimal "fare" (we don't know how much yet).

It's up to the runners themselves to enter the race itself. Details and entry bumf here: http://www.entrycentral.com/index.php?festivalID=262

ALSO - If anyone knows of anywhere decent to eat down in that neck of the woods - please let us know.
