Olympic Gold 24 Aug 2016.

Club pack walk/run, Alex Moore, Sat 27 August, 1:45pm
It is getting lighter in the mornings which means spring is nearly here and the end of the season is not so far away.  A little breather at home this week to give you a chance to ramp up for some end of year special events...

Speaking of which there is a chance to support our own Sarah Riceman who is appearing in the production of Sister Act from 14 -24 September.  If we get a group together we save $10 on tickets and get one ticket free.  Send through to tonysimmers@paradise.net.nz any expressions of interest for the Saturday 17th performance (~$40) and we will see what we can organise...

Sign up for the National Road Relays - Rotorua 1 October
All for one and one for all -- this is the unofficial end of year away trip for Olympic and a heap of fun.  No trouble to get to, being in the North Island, and the Club has organised a number of grants and canny deals to make transport and accommodation very reasonable.  Details of the race and accommodation at the entry page: https://eventdesq.imgstg.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=main&EventDesqID=20160&OrgID=10499

 

Skates on! NZ Road Race Champs, Masterton 3 Sep
You need to sign up today if you want to enter.  This year the NZ Road Race Champs are in Masterton - so not far to travel for our club members.  There are events for Under 13, Under 15, Under 18, Under 20, Seniors and Masters.  Entries close Wednesday night, see http://athletics.org.nz/Events/2016-new-zealand-road-race-championships 

Remembering stalwarts from past years
Sadly we heard of the deaths this week of two past members.   John Arthur and Chris Daglish were both active in the club in the 1990's.  People from that time have good memories of them, and the Club extends condolences to both their families.
