Newsletter – 29th May 2022

Hi there

Hope you are all well and looking forward to an extended Bank Holiday at the end of the week.

Pub Run

The first pub run of the summer will be on 7th June from The Bell at Bosbury.  If we can meet at 6:30 for a 6:45 start, that would be good.  There will be the usual groups. After the run, we will meet in the pub for chips and a good catch up with everyone.

Summer Cross Country

The summer cross country league starts on 1st June (Wednesday evening at 7:30pm)

1st June – Berrington Hall

22nd June – Fforest Fields

13th July – Westhope

27th July – Much Marcle.

Everyone is welcome to take part in these events.They are off-road and about 4.5 – 5 miles in distance.  Please let Neil Grinnell know if you are interested. neilgrinnell@yahoo.co.uk or see him on a Tuesday night.

We are hosting the event on 27th July so we will be looking for volunteers to help marshall etc.  We will be having a recce of the run on Tuesday 28th June.  As the course is two laps, this will be suitable for all groups to run.  More details on this in due course.

Thursday Night sessions

These are being held at the Rugby Club at 6:30pm.  They are a mixture of drills, and sessions to help improve your running technique as well as a good chance to meet with people you don’t usually run with.  Everyone is welcome – whatever your running experience.

Ledbury Harriers Social Media

As well as our Facebook page, we are also on Instagram – please do follow us and also let Rachel Bannister have any suitable photos for posting.

Rachel would also like photos and race reports for the local paper as well.  Please email these to publicity@ledburyharriers.org.uk

Social Events

We have had a couple of social bike rides over the past month, along with swimming and paddle boarding.  The next event is camping and walking at Llantony Abbey on 17th June.  Please see Jo Taylor-Greig or Tony Saunders for more information.  Please keep an eye on the Facebook page and the Whatsapp! Group for other upcoming events.

Club Kit

We need to order some more club kit but we need to know what type and what sizes!  If you could fill in the attached form and either email it to info@ledburyharriers.org.uk or give me a copy on a Tuesday night.  I will also bring down some copies for you to fill in on a Tuesday evening.

The form is here:-  Club Kit

If you don’t think you will need any kit in the next six months or so, that would also be useful to know.

If you want some Ledbury Harriers training kit, the link to the shop is here :Training Kit Link

Membership

If you haven’t renewed your membership, it is now due. We have passed the deadline for being able to join England Athletics so the only option available is the standard onen at £15 for the year.  The form is on the website.  Any questions, please ask either myself or Mark Lister.

Think that’s it for now.  Any articles etc for the next newsletter will be gratefully received.
