Third Marc Steele

Ladies
First Rachel Smith

Trophies will be presented at the AGM on 17th November (7pm Eccleshill Working Men’s Club, Stoney Lane Eccleshill)

You will now find a list at club on training nights to put your name down for the PECO XC races – this year we are required to have 8 men and 6 Ladies to avoid penalty points in the scoring system, the more the merrier as we also have all runners to count scoring too 

NB: In addition to needing to get our teams out we are assisting Ackworth Road Runners at Race 1 Nostell Priory on Sunday 26th November – we will be in need of marshals – please let us know if you can help out.

Good Running

♦ ECCLESHILL SPONSOR BRADFORD PARKRUN

Dear Member,

Most of you will have seen on Facebook that the club is ‘sponsoring’ Bradford parkrun, Lister Park on 30 April this year. I’ve emailed some of you separately about potential roles, but this email is to all members to invite you to get involved. That may be in an official volunteer role such as marshalling the course, or helping set up the ERR tent and stall to promote what we do. If you have any ideas as to how we might be even more visible & engaging with the approx 400 runners who attend, do come forward.
The commitment is from around 8.30am to 10.30am. Full descriptions and support on the day.

You may want to run yourself or just come and catch up with us.  This event is always well supported and it’s a great morning out – especially to catch up with club mates you’ve not seen in a while. We love seeing you all there.

Afterwards, we will meet for a brew / breakfast at Cartwright Hotel just outside the park��������gates. We’ll use this to present the winter trophies so please support that too if you can.
If you could let me know if you are coming & able to help out please either by replying to this email or sending one tohelenanddon@blueyonder.co.uk – that would be fantastic. Those already having notified us on FB don’t need to again.
Thank-you
Helen
Club Secretary

Remember if you have a few hours to spare you can give your time to marshal the race as we all know races couldn’t go ahead without the valuable help of people marshalling the runners around the course. If you can help get in touch.
