North Midlands Cross Country League

Race 3 at Berry Hill Park, Mansfield, Saturday 29th December

The third out of four meetings is coming soon. Please be at Berry Hill by 12.30pm at the latest, or 1.30pm for the U11′s. You will need time to warm up, get familiar with the course, and we need to know who we have for each event.

 

If you need directions to the park please ask one of the coaches or email us. Teams should congregate on the grassed area around the long low building by the lake. Hot drinks and refreshments are available from the Club House.

 

U11′s should be sporting a Club Vest – there are a few to borrow on a temporary basis, but they are good value so it may be better to buy one!

 

AVAC Annual Awards Evening & Disco

 

Saturday 29th November 2003, Belper Leisure Centre

 

The Club’s annual Awards Evening will take place shortly at Belper Leisure Centre and tickets are now available. There will be a bar, buffet food, disco, and presentation of Awards for Achievement, Grades and Shine Awards to athletes of all age groups.

 

Tickets can be bought from the desk at training for £2 per athlete or £5 for the family, or on the evening itself.

 

The evening will also host the the Grand Prize Draw, with tens of prizes on offer, including a colour television, portable printer and monitor, chocolates and wines. If you still have any tickets left to sell please be quick and remember there is a prize for the athlete who sells the most. Those of you have sold all your tickets are asked to return the stubs with the monies to training as soon as possible, or on the evening itself at the latest.

 

We look forward to seeing as many athletes and parents there on the evening itself, doors open 7.30pm – 11.30pm.

 

Cross Country Mini League

 

Sunday 23rd November at Moorways Stadium, Derby

 

This is an excellent opportunity to compete in this local Cross Country league, and is ideal for newcomers to the event.

 

Athletes are welcome to compete from age 9 upwards for males and females, through to U15, with U17′s welcome to guest in the U15 race, and the more athletes the better.

 

The first race is at 11am and the last should finish around 12.30pm. The youngest age group only race over 1km, with the oldest over 4km, so nothing too strenuous!

 

There is a trophy for the overall team winners and medals for the first three individuals in each age group, so we look forward to having a strong turnout!

 

All athletes are to meet around the stadium grandstand just before 11am.
