LOST PROPERTY / HARRIER BRANDED CLOTHES

I have a growing emporium of lost property that people left behind after training and never seem to claim it back.  I don't have the space to store in my house and so I have made a list.

 

I will display out tonight for everyone to look at and if it is yours please take it. Otherwise it is going in the bin.

 

Also people have kindly handed in old hoodies, jackets etc that there child has outgrown or if they have left the club.  They are free to a good home. So please take a look and if it could fit you please take away. I will display this tonight too.

EASTER HOLIDAY TRAINING

Just a note as a few people asked. Junior Harrier training is on business as usual during the school spring holidays. So Wednesday 5th and 12th April please attend as normal.
