First Aid Course - this is planned for Monday 8th December 7.30pm, and is subsidised by the Club and is therefore free to members. We are in danger of cancelling this session due to lack of interest. It is ideal for any Benfleet 15 Marshalls, as an important refresher course. If you do want to come along (7.30pm-10pm in Rayleigh) please let me know ASAP.

IN MEMORY OF AUDREY...

IN MEMORY OF AUDREY - Dear All, After the terrible recent loss of 'Nanny' Audrey Clark the family have decided to set up a JustGiving page in memory of Audrey and to help raise both awareness of and funds for Sarcoma UK, which I have helped set up. Audrey battled sarcoma cancer tremendously, beating it 6 times in a 9 year period and showing incredible bravery, before finally losing the battle aged 76. All the time she never lost her famous smile and wonderful, cheery personality! As well as by giving online via the page attached, you can also make a donation direct to Mandy Cooper or at club nights through Brian Lunt who will kindly pass it on to the family to add to the collection. Please share the page if you know of people outside of the club who may have known Audrey and who may also wish to donate. Mandy, Eddy and family would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their kind wishes, support and love they have been shown from their running family. x

Essex XC Race #2 - 15th November

NEXT RACE

15th NOVEMBER  Hylands park

Entrance to Hylands Park is from the A414 Writtle By-Pass where there is car park access to the right. The nearest postcode for Sat-Nav users is CM1 3RL which is approximately 300m from the Writtle entrance.

There are toilets in the car park, but unfortunately there are no changing facilities. The start and finish areas are just beyond the children’s play area.

The only refreshments available are in the old stable block near the main house and these are at commercial prices.

We will be using the same course as last year ( subject to the park owners amendments, if any ) with one or two small changes where trees have fallen and a path through the woods has been blocked by the owners.
A course map will be sent out by next weekend and I hope to have it on the Chelmsford Athletic Clubs website soon.

Last year we were asked by the park owners to request that young runners do not use the wooden playground area if they are wearing spikes, as spikes damage the wooden surface, they are of course free to play on the playground with ordinary shoes if they wish to do so.

There will be an under 11 race the start times are U11 Girls 11.15am and U11 boys 11.30am. £3 each. You can enter this through the C S A C ( Chelmsford Sports and Athletics Centre ) web site or you can enter on the day for £4, but please get there and enter early, it will be easier for all if you pre enter. these races have to start on time.

There is a typing error on the entry form that still has not been amended, on the day of the race you must be either nine or ten years of age, if you are eleven you cannot enter this race. Please do not try and enter this race through Chelmsford Athletics Club it can only be entered through C S A C.

The start times and distances for the Essex League races are as follows;

U13 Girls 12:00pm 3.2K 2 small laps
U13 Boys 12:20pm 3.2K 2 small laps
U15 Girls 12:40pm 4K 1 small lap and 1 medium lap
U 15 Boys 1:00pm 4K 1 small lap and 1 medium lap
U 17/U20W 1:20pm 4.9K 1 small lap and 1 large lap
Women/U17 Men 1:40pm 6.2K 2 large laps
Senior Men 2:15pm 8.1K 1 small lap and 2 large laps

SUNDAY 26 OCTOBER 2014

THE VENUE is on the A128 approximately 500 metres north of the “Halfway House” roundabout at the junction with the A127. Look for the brown Country Park signpost.

CAR PARKING is adjacent to the start area. Please ensure that the parking bay nearest to the South Pavilion is kept clear for emergency vehicles and parking for disabled members of the public. Parking meters are now operating and are enforced. The charge is £3.00 per day. Please car share.

THE RACE is a single lap course, which will be marked by cones, tapes or posts and marshalled. The distance is 7.5 kilometres (say 4.6 miles) and is suitable for spikes or rubber studs, but there are some sections with stone chippings. For safety reasons some small variations to the course as shown on the enclosed route map may be required on the day. Just follow the markers and the Marshals’ instructions.
The race starts at 10.00 am and is open to all league club members from 17 years upwards. “Named” second claim runners only are eligible. All legitimate runners MUST wear club vests or club colours and display the allocated club letter on both front and back of their vest.

Latest Race Newsletter, from Neil Casey

Latest News from Neil, our  BRC Road Race Co-ordinator;

As you are probably aware, it is part of my remit within the club to try and encourage as many members as possible to actively participate in as many races throughout the year as possible.  By this I mean ALL members of ALL abilities – we want you ALL out their running, racing and having FUN!  As I said before it is not just about BRC winning as many individual medals and team prizes as possible, though yes it is nice for us to do so and thus gain further kudos and recognition as a club, but it is about YOUR own self-development as runners, whatever level or ability we are currently at.
