Offord Cross Country 2012
18/12/2012

The Offord XC for members is definitely on again now in its fifth year This "fun" XC event for all the family both old and young on Thursday 27 Dec 2012 @ 10.30 for juniors and 11.00 for seniors. Parking and starts are on a farm track entrance half way along the Offord to Graveley road. It will be sign posted at the track end.

The Junior Course is 2.3 miles and the Senior Course is approx 5 miles of farm tracks, a disused runway and of course the interesting path across the cultivated field that usually provides much hilarity.

Entry is free  - just turn up on the day.  Please note that there is no "creche" facility arranged and also that this is a working farm - albeit not with a lot happening on this day.

It is not uncommon for some members to make this into a long run - meeting up in St Neots to run to the event, take part and run back.  Check the forum for such arrangements.  Other details - see Maurice, Pam, Tom or Catherine.

Bourne Frostbite Cancelled
04/02/2012

16:00 Saturday 04 Feb 2012  Bourne race is CANCELLED.

The race scheduled for tomorrow (5th Feb) at Bourne is CANCELLED. The organisers at Bourne have walked the course today and decided it would be unsafe to run. Snow from earlier in the week has frozen hard and made a very slippery and dangerous course and it's a similar picture in the Woods car park which would make car parking difficult. This, together with the likelihood of heavy snowfall overnight, makes it unwise for us to go ahead with the race.

 
Frostbite Presentation
01/02/2012

Saturday 24th March at The Plough, Farcet, Peterborough.

This year there will be a club coach to take us, leaving the Market Sq 18:30. Tickets £13 + coach £3. Tickets available from Adrian
