Summer run/walk from clubrooms at Alex Moore, 6 February, 1:45pm
Waitangi Day is about "our place", so let's gather there and celebrate what we have in our own back yard.

Fast Flat and Frowing Far(?) - Athletics
Track and field meets are continuing. Apart from being a good way to sharpen up for the winter season they give a very fair way to compare performances -- there is nowhere to hide!  Check out the timetable below or seek out Michelle van Looy who will fill you in on the details. http://athleticswellington.org.nz/Events/Senior-Track-and-Field/Black-Gold

Update: Around Rarotonga Race
Miles and Sheryne have done the hard yards and chased down a good price for travel and accomodation.  The chance of cheaper fares closer to the day is balanced off against not getting into the hosting resort at Shearwater.  Do you you feel lucky... well do you...?  Contact Natalia McAllansmith at Flight Centre North City, 2374477, and you should be able to get the same kind of deal.  

The Round Rarotonga Road Race celebrates its 39th Anniversary with its annual weeklong event from the 22-28 September 2016 held on the beautiful tropical island of Rarotonga. The event caters for everyone including families, social, recreational and competitive runners and is a fantastic opportunity to combine a holiday with a once in a lifetime sporting achievement.

A week of warmth at the end of winter sounds a good idea and a bunch of club members are planning to attend this year.  No firm arrangements yet but you can check out the website here: http://sale.cookislands.travel/events/round-rarotonga-road-race-2/
