Next two Tuesdays

 

Tuesday 25 September – note that all groups meet at Harewood Village Hall – and note that the 7pm groups meet earlier than usual – details below.

 

Tuesday 2 October - note that all groups meet at Leos – and note that the 7pm groups meet earlier than usual – details below.  Also note that reflective bibs are compulsory for all but the 6pm group.

 

Tuesday 25 September

 

Directions to Harewood Village Hall - Go on the A61 out of Leeds, past Leeds Grammar School.  After about 3 miles you reach the traffic lights at Harewood.  Continue through the lights and then after 100 yards turn left just after the bus shelter (which is just opposite the Harewood Arms pub).  This is Church Lane.  The Village Hall is 100 yards on the right.

 

Parking instructions – please note that there is a karate class on at the Hall that evening.  Please park to the left and back of the Village Hall, not on the right which we’ll keep clear for the karate people.

 

Kathy’s 6pm group to meet at the Hall for 6pm.  The Harewood Estate have kindly arranged to open two gates for us so we’ll be able to run the entire 2 mile route.  We’ll do it in short bursts and regroup.  If you have a running watch, you be able to start and stop it to get your running time and then compare with race day!

 

All other groups meet at the Hall for 6:30pm prompt.

 

I’ll be leading Holly’s intermediates and we’ll run the route in five one-mile sections regrouping at the end of each section.  The plan is to get round in an hour and 5 minutes.  This is quite a bit longer than the slowest of you took for the Handicap last week, so will be a pleasant run (apart, perhaps, for the last hill).

 

The normal Tuesday club runners will set off just afterwards – you’ll need to start promptly and run fairly quickly to get 8 miles in before dark, otherwise play safe with the 5 mile route.  I’m looking for 2 group leaders for this session – preferably people who know the route!!

 

Tuesday 2 October

 

This the the night of the Annual General Meeting which will start at 8:30pm prompt.  Food will be available, book meat pie or veg bake; mushy peas or baked beans to food@valleystriders.org.uk by Sunday 30 September 10pm.  Sorry no dessert!

 

Kathy’s group will meet at 6pm (not 7pm as previous food nights, we’re guessing the kids won’t be too interested in the AGM)

 

The plan is that the other 3 groups (Holly’s group, club group and Simon’s monthly fell group) will all meet a quarter of an hour earlier than usual i.e. at 6:45 pm to have a good chance of getting back and showered by 8:30pm.

 

By next weekend there will be an agenda on the website and I’ll publish a link in next week’s VSWU..

 

Hope to see lots of Striders, old and new, on 2 October.

 

Membership and Other Payments

 

Just a reminder that Subs for 2012/13 are due from 1st September 2012.  Subject to confirmation at the AGM we are proposing to keep them the same as last year:   
    1st Claim - £20
    2nd Claim - £10
    Social - £10
    Volunteer - £3

If you ran in the Leeds Country Way – please pay £9:50 also.

 

If you are entering the West Yorkshire Cross Country -  please pay £10 also.  If paying by cash, please pay at the Club any Tuesday. If you are paying by bank transfer, also email teams@valleystriders,org.uk .  It is not sufficient just to send payment by bank transfer as we only look at the account every two weeks so may miss seeing your payment until after the closing date.

 

If paying by cheque, please make cheques payable to Valley Striders and pay at the Club or send to Paul White, 17 Whinmoor Court, Redhall, Leeds LS14 1NX. 
 
Payment can be made by bank transfer via the internet to our account as follows:
     Sort Code: xx-xx-xx
     Account Number:  aaaaaaaa
If doing so please include your name as reference on the transfer details.  If you are paying any amount other than a combination of £20, £9.50, £10 (e.g. if you are paying £40 to include a friend), please also send an email to
paulwhite12@hotmail.com  with an explanation

Thanks,
Paul.

Message from Elika Tasker

 

As most people know, I am moving to Singapore at the end of October and therefore I've got 7 weeks to sort myself out. It would be a great help if you could add the insert below into a VS email. Word of mouth is a powerful thing!

Message from Amanda Seims

 

A colleague of mine  is looking for male runners/ triathletes, aged 18-40 (although could possibly up this limit to 45). There will be five trials each consisting of a 120 minute run at 70% VO2max followed immediately by a 5km time trial all at 2500m simulated altitude.  There will be a different drink during each trial - combination of glucose and fructose, glucose only or a placebo.

As part of this study you will perform a VO2max test, basically a maximal fitness test, which I know a lot of you are keen to do.

Please read the attached file and contact Nicola
