Message from the Club Captain

Hi everyone.
Hope you have all recovered from the anniversary/ presntation night. It went well and I think everyone had a great time.
Anyway, its that time of year again when the relays are upon us. Recently we had the George Cummings and then the McAndrews. I didn't do either due to the marathon and so yesterday was my first for a while. The West Districts at Drumpelier Park. Think our guys did really well(we had 9 men out) and we were overshadowed by our ladies winning gold in the masters. Well done to Anne, Fiona and Marina.
So, this Sat its the Dumbartonshires at Duchess Woods in Helensburgh. Personally, as well as for the club and indeed you, I'd like as many of our guys and girls to turn out on the day as possible. We can enter on the day itself. It would be great to have a few teams out and give the other clubs something to think about. So, give it your consideration please. Its a trail not suitable for spikes but its not the worst course I've ever run on.
The following Sat it the Nationals at Cumbernauld. The closing date has now gone but I've entered Four men's teams and it looks promising that we will get a good turnout. So,thanks to all in advance.
Finally, I'd like us all to try and run as many of the following races as possible over the next few months.
1. Scottish Athletics 4k CC at Bellahouston Park- 05/11/11
2. Dumbartonshires AAA CC at Posties Park- 26/11/11
3. Scottish Athletics West Districts CC (venue Tbc)- 10/12/11
4. Nationals at Calendar Park- 18/02/12.

Obviously there are other events and other relays which you may have a preference for but if you could pencil in your diaries the above ones I'd be most grateful.
Bear in mind we will also be having our own Club Champs at Carleith Farm and the Hannah Cup at Dalmuir Park in the next couple of months as well.
Hope to see many of you on Sat.
