Pack run/walk from clubrooms - Sat 16 April,1:45
We are off to a grand start, and this week we are back at the clubrooms with a chance to sort out a few bits of house keeping.  It is 2016 and the club is keeping up with the play and using more online tools to make this easy.

Shaw Baton is coming fast - register NOW
This is a big relaxed event and our club gets to show the rest of Wellington running how to have fun.  We are using a web form this year -- a bit of clicking and typing and everything will get collated automatically.  We need entries from the whole family ASAP so we can organise teams, and of course there is also the running of the event itself so we will looking for those offers of help.  Under 10's can sign up for their race on the day, the rest of us need to register.

Look the part
Seeing a sea of black white and red singlets storming towards the finish is uplifting.  If you need to buy or update your kit, go to the membership part of the club website or shop online to make it all easy here: https://shopdesq.imgstg.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=productlisting&CategoryID=5104&OrgID=10499

Membership is online too...
Get in early and beat the crowd.  Like last year subs are being organised through the online system.  Saves finding the cheque book in the back of the junk drawer.

Go to go to our memberdesk to login and renew your membership at https://memberdesq.imgstg.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=main&OrgID=10499 .  Details about fees are there and of course the standard option for you to get reminded about your password.

 

Kids and families, check this out!!
For five and up, Sean McCrudden will run a programme of games and races that extends long enough for Mum and Dad to have a cup of tea after their own run with the pack if that's what they want.  Sean knows what he is doing having been involved with kids programmes for many years.

What is it:  Meet Sean outside the clubrooms around 2pm.  We offer fun games, fitness games, specific training and race guidance. On race days, Sean will take the children over the courses before they race. This will also involve warming them up. There will also be social walks available for the parents who want to get out there and enjoy exercise

After Run Care? 3pm-4pm!!! We also provide an opportunity for the parents to sit down and relax. Sean will take the children for a further 30 - 45mins after you have finished your run to give you some time to socialise with the other club members.
