June Newsletter

Hi Everyone,

I find myself with time to do this month’s newsletter a few days earlier than expected.

The last few days have been very hot and we had fewer people out at last night’s club run. Please stay safe if you are running in hot weather and make sure that you stay well hydrated.

parkrun awayday Saturday 29th June

We are having a club away day to Parkside parkrun Hay on Wye on Saturday. If you are planning to come please let us know and share cars if possible. If you want to come and are not on the club parkrun WhatsApp group please contact me and I can add you to the group.

Pub Run/Cross Country recce Tuesday 2nd July

As part of the preparation for hosting the Summer Cross Country League race on 10th July (details below) we are combining our July pub run with a recce for the race. We will run in our usual groups and run all or part of the course. Meet in the car park at Westons in Much Marcle at 6.30 for a 6.45 start. We are then going back to the Walwyn Arms for chips and a drink afterwards.

August’s pub run is going to be over the border in Worcestershire at the Farmer’s Arms Birtsmorton.

Herefordshire and Borders Summer Cross Country League Race 10th July

We are hosting the third race in the league series at Westons. We need people to help set up in the morning and marshals etc for the event itself in the evening. The race starts at 7.30 and marshals should be available from 6.00 please. Please let Neil know if you can help. There is a post on the Ledbury Harriers (Members Only) facebook group or email him at neilgrinnell@yahoo.co.uk

Hereford Athletics Track

The newly refurbished athletics track has now reopened. The club contributed £1,000 towards the cost out of the surplus from The Mag7 race two years ago. We will look into booking the track for a session later in the year.

Fun and Fast

We are taking a break from Fun and fast over the Summer, it will be back in September. There will be some social runs on Thursday evenings form time to time. Please keep an eye open for them, I will send emails out and there will be posts on the club facebook group.

Finally a thank you to Jayne for organising the skittles evening at the British Legion. Everyone who came enjoyed themselves.

Enjoy your running and see you soon

Mark
