Club Running vests for Trail Race on Fri 24th June

On Wednesday night we will have a box of Harrier running vests that can be loaned out to any young athlete who has entered Friday's Trail Race.  If your child requires one please collect at the end of the session and  please return the vest on the next Wednesday training night.

Thank you,
Richard

NEW CLUB T-SHIRT - first come first served basis

Given the increasing size of the Young Athletes section of the Calderglen Harriers, the coaches decided that we should introduce a training t-shirt for the club.

We have now received the first batch of t-shirts and they are available to buy on a first come first served basis.  We have ordered a range of sizes from 28” chest to 38” chest.  The cost of the t-shirt has been subsidised from the weekly training fee paid by each member so we are able to sell them at £7. 

If you wish to buy a t-shirt, please ask at the registration point.  In the event that we do run out of a particular size and more are required, we can place an additional order with the supplier. 

Please note it is desirable that all Young Athletes have a T-shirt to wear for training but it is not compulsory.

Thanks

Richard

CAP ON NEW MEMBERS

This year has seen many changes to our Junior section particularly the growth in new members.  However due to this growth we need to currently cap our intake and operate a waiting list as of 1st June 2011.

If your child is interested in joining the Calderglen Harriers Junior section please email name, date of birth and contact telephone number to richard.lawton3@btinternet.com

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter and your interest in Calderglen Harriers.

Richard Lawton

Membership Secretary - Junior section

CLUB CAR PARKING

It has been brought to the clubs attention that parking on the main drive in the park can not continue as access is required for emergency veichles to Torrance house and the Golf Club.

We appreciate parking is difficult on occasion at this time but for our part if the Sports Club car park is full could we use the main car park which is only 2 mins away. All other sections and the Football facility have been spoken to about this and it has been noted the police have been in the park looking at the situation. It is the Harriers commitees wish that none of our members get caught up in any follow up on this.

Reminder: £1 fee for Wednesday 18th May 2011

For all the blog readers, please remember to give your son or daughter their £1 weekly fee for training tomorrow night.

Thank you kindly,
Richard

CHANGES TO YOUNG ATHLETES FEES FOR 2011

Further to communication on our revised fee structure for our Young Athletes, we will re-commence the collection of £1 per athlete/family from Wednesday 11th May until 30th November 2011.  There will be no fees charged in December.

As explained previously, the £15 paid earlier was for membership of the EK Sports Club under their new charging structure. Please note there are outstanding membership fees due from some Young Athletes so please check with Richard Lawton if you have paid.

The weekly £1 fee will be used to build funds for the Harriers to subside race entries, equipment and activities for the Young Athletes. 

I would be obliged therefore if as of Wednesday 11th May your child has their fee to give to their coach for collection.
