New Fell Running Email List – from John Marsham

There is a new email list for those in VS interseted in fell & off-road running and racing, [email protected]

Emails to the group address - from members only - get distributed to everyone on the list. Messages can also be viewed and contributed to via the the web at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/valleystridersfell, although you'll need a Google account to do this.  Note: a Google account is not necessary to participate via email.

To request membership of the group please send an email to [email protected] . Requests to join are approved by one of the group managers.  You can unsubscribe at any time by sending an email to [email protected]

This google-group will take over from the old valley fell running email list.

I hope people will sign up to this quite quickly and we can have a rapid swap from the old list to this.

John Wallace sends the following re Harewood Trail

A big thank-you to all those who helped out at the recent Harewood Trail, particularly those that were under my ‘supervision’ on the 2 mile route and first section of the main races. Despite a few hiccups I think we managed it pretty well, including dealing with locked gates and late changes of route, and the 99% of people who would recommend the race testifies to the fact that we did a good job. However my apologies that I didn’t manage to thank you personally on the day.....

... which is part of the driver for this email. For the first time in a few years we were actually a bit short of marshals which meant it got a bit manic at times, particularly for the more experienced (read older!) marshals, with consequent knock on effects for briefing all you other wonderful marshals and helpers.

So ... very advance warning to ask as many members of VS as possible to put our next organised race, the Meanwood Trail, in your diaries for next year. We anticipate it being Saturday 19^th April (day before the London Marathon) or near that time and would love to have lots of marshals.

Most of you will have taken part in other races, pretty well all organised and marshalled by volunteers like ours, so it’s a chance to help ensure that tradition continues ... and besides which cheering people on and shooing them around a course is great fun and makes you feel very superior.

Thanks

John
