Reschedule of the Easter Egg Handicap
2008.
Our ever popular Easter egg handicap 5km race has been reschedule
for Thursday 1st of May due to the earliest Easter for 200 years.
Registration from 6:00pm at Rhayader Leisure Centre. The course
is unchanged and runners should let Terry know of their intention
to run on the next available club night so that unrealistic times
can be allocated. Instead of the usual Easter Egg there will be
a goody bag for all finishers, though with Terry organising this
as well, the word "goody" is up for debate. Thanks in
advance Terry and hope to see you all there.

& museums, boat trips on the danube etc

(cheap beer Phil!)

Hi all,Just a quick reminder that the club runs this Thursday and
next Thursday will be at 6.30pm from Llandrindod Wells Lake. If
Rhayader based runners could meet at the leisure centre at 6pm as
there could be some runners requiring lifts. We have advertised
these 2 nights as beginner taster sessions and we're not sure how
many will turn up, but there should be enough of us should there
be a number of different ability groups.
Also, the next cross country runs will be Wednesday 18 July at
Kinnersley, Wednesday 1 August at Shobden and Wednesday 22 August
at Westhope all starting at 7.30. Details are on the board but any
queries please contact either myself or Terry. It would be good
to put a team out in each race.
Finally, Stafford is doing some really good work in setting up
a club website - watch this space!! Thanks Staff.
Cheers for now.
Chris.
