Club Update.

Good evening, all.

Following last night’s EGM (extraordinary general meeting), we’re delighted to announce the appointment of a new ladies’ team captain, Julia Rushton, who was selected by the members during last night’s vote. Congratulations to Julia on her new role. Julia will work closely with Mark Nutter, the team managers, and the wider committee. We all look forward to working with her. Thanks to Kim Kennedy and Michelle Abbott, who also stood last night.

We’d also like to announce that Scott Cunliffe has taken up a new committee role as Team Coordinator. Scott’s remit includes working closely with Club Captains & Team Managers. We welcome Scott to this position and look forward to his contributions to the club.

Keep an eye on our socials to find out more about each committee member and their role over the coming weeks. The face behind that name, a deep dive into the work that goes on behind the scenes, and more.

We’d also like to place on record our thanks to David Siguenza, who has stepped down from the committee recently. We thank David for his valuable work, dedeication and commitment over his time on the committee and wish him all the best.

Tour of Pendle Fell Race

Starting with this years race, entries will be taken on line electronically by www.SiEntries.co.uk .

I have also had to increase the entry fee to cover that cost and also the rising costs of every other expense involved.   The entry for this years will be £14.00.  The site is now open and accepting entries, it will close on the 09 November 2024.  The race is on the 16 November and if anyone misses this date they can always phone me and “discuss”.   (Kieran  07760 667842.)

This will be the 40th race and as for the last few years, I intend to provide enough commemorative tee shirts so every runner gets one.

The cut-off at checkpoint 4 has been very generous towards runners and not really taken marshals into consideration. This year the cut-off at checkpoint 4 will be 1hour 45mins from the start (ie.12:15pm).  The race starts at 10:30am and any delays with the start will be added on to the cut-off time.

If you want to know anything about this race phone me.
