Goodbye Winter! 1 Sep 2016.

Club pack walk/run, Alex Moore, Sat 3 Sep, 1:45pm

Lambs are frolicking, daffodils are rising, boxes of ducks fluffing, and the people of Johnsonville can expect an exhalation of runners around their hills again this week.  Some people will be across the hill at the NZ Road Champs in Masterton. 

The week after is the Philp Shield relay from the clubrooms -- preceded at 1:30 by a Special General Meeting to seek to ratify the committee’s recommendation to increase the junior athletics club subscriptions for 7-14 year olds to $80 and to include a family discount.  This is to reflect the increase in the Athletic New Zealand levies introduced for the 2016/17 season.

 

Junior programme -  registration day, Clubrooms Sat 10 Sep 12:00 - 1:30 pm

Yes summer is coming and the Junior club is about to take off!   For details of what is in store check out the Olympic Juniors website at www.olympicjuniors.nz.   If you want to get registration out of the way before then, you can use the online registration link -  https://memberdesq.sportstg.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=main&OrgID=10499

 

Pelorus Trust Event - Sun 11 Sept

A range of distances, flat course, and friendly atmosphere - all good reasons to get amongst it.  Full details and registration at: http://www.hvmc.org.nz/events/pelorus-trust-run-and-walk/event-home-page/

If there are members willing to work at having fun the organisers are looking for pacers for the half marathon.  Currently they are looking for 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 2:00 and 2:10.  Might even be a T-shirt in in for you -- talk to president@hvmc.org.nz.  

 

Sister Act

Spots still available for the Saturday 17th performance of Sister Act at the St James. Sarah Riceman has been rehearsing for this in between running and studying.  If you are interested ($40) let me know, tonysimmers@paradise.net.nz -- I will be booking next Monday.

 

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
