In this month’s Harrier Katy Thompson looks back to a traumatic period twenty years ago. Katy has also sent a photograph from 1989. See how many members you can identify 25 years on. On a more up-to-date note, the new club race vest is unveiled, along with venues for summer training and details of the 2014 summer series. Plus…. all the usual results, fixtures and features. Enjoy! April Newsletter 2014
Here is the latest edition of the Harrier, including reports on a number of events and races, plus all the usual features. March Newsletter 2014
You can now access the Feb ‘Harrier’ here. This month we feature Richard ‘Bomber’ Bellaries’ exploits on Pendle, a report on the Barrow XC fixture and details of this year’s club championship races, as well as all the usual Run of the Month competitions, fixtures, training and results.
A little belatedly, the January Newsletter can be found here. It has details of the Club Celebration and Awards’ Evening on 1st February, 2014 Club Championship races, English and British Fell Championship counters, and a New Year’s message from the President, plus all the usual features, recent results and fixtures for January and February.
While running in Stainscomb recently (near Stan’s hut), Richard Bellaries came across a shell (i.e. bomb)! When he later led the police back to the spot, they confirmed that it was still live!!
So…. BEWARE. All the western end of Pendle was used as a live firing range in the past. Occasionally unexploded shells emerge from the peat – especially after periods of prolonged rain. If you see anything that looks like a bomb – it probably is. Follow Rich’s example: do not disturb and report it to the constabulary.
Welcome to the latest edition of the Harrier – a few days later than planned – my apologies. Download it now to get reports on the UK Fell & Hill running Relays in N Wales, the Tour of Pendle and the FRA Presentation, hosted by the club at Mytton Fold Hotel, plus all the usual features, results and fixtures. Please take special note of the article on p3 by Mike Eddleston regarding annual subscriptions, which are due at the end of the month. December Newsletter 2013
Because of the recent growth in numbers and the change in training format we need some help on Thursday evenings.
We need at least one, preferably two, senior runners to come along on a regular basis and help with the two groups that head out on the roads from Spirit of Sport at 6pm. You won’t be asked to coach or lead the session, just be an extra pair of hands to keep the session safe.
It’s a good paced run and you’ll need to have a decent turn of speed to keep up with them; it would make for a good training session for the right ability runner. I can give you any more information you need before you commit to anything.
If you can commit to at least one hour a month then please let me know a.s.a.p. We desperately need a couple of runners for next Thursday (November 14th) and you can contact me via the Junior Email.
thanks, Andy.
