2 X-country 2017/18 season MR talked everyone through his Blog dated 29/08/2017; not sure of cost yet, as paperwork not arrived, but approx. £10 in total for all 3 leagues

3 Road update CB said he was pleased with attendance at races and results include Wigan 10K

4 Fell update TC said that the fell section was flourishing and that the Run the Moors league has been a great success

5 Tri update MT said that he is looking into joining Epic Events league; details to follow. In the meantime, if you have completed a triathlon this year make sure that you have advised MT or JB

5 Gill Pimblott race 2017 – update MR referred everyone to his Blog dated 29/08/2017 and confirmed that we raised £375 which will be sent to St Ann’s Hospice. Big thank you to everyone who donated and particularly Shaun for organising

6 GP5 volunteers We talked through the various issues with the car park last year. TC seems to have this in hand but any additional help on the day would be welcome (can still race) we also decided that we could raise a bit extra money if members bring along cakes and we have an honesty box. Finally, in order to avoid anyone getting lost, we still need another 4 course marshals; if you can spare a couple of hours on Sunday 01/10/2017 please let either GS or MR know as soon as possible. Remember all volunteers get a race T-shirt
