Midlands Cross Country Meet is Cancelled

Due to the appauling flooding situation we have taken the decision not to travel to the Midlands Event tonight.


After taking advice from the Environment Agency and the police we feel it is wise not to be travelling. Many of our County's areas are badly affected by floods and there are numerous school and road closures across the region. In addition the weather over the next 24hrs is expected to bring increasing levels of rain which will only make the travel situation across Cumbria more dangerous.


The decision to cancel is not one that has been taken lightly. We always want to race when ever possible but safety must taken precidence on this occasion.


We look forward to seeing you run at the County Championships in January and hope you stay safe of this most difficult weekend.

Midland Counties Ivitation X-Country Teams

The enties have been coming in thick and fast. It's great to see so many new faces running for the first time this year. If you have tried, and failed, to contact me over the last couple of weeks don't panic. I've been away for the vast majority of the time hence not replying to messages instantly. In addition I've got a heavy coaching commitment throught the week which means I don't get home till around 11pm 2/3 nights a week.

There have been lots of questions about how to get kit. It's very simple. If you've sent the money in then you will be able to get your kit at the hotel on the Friday evening or on the Saturday morning. If you havn't requested any kit but want some then you just need to bring the money with you and purchase it on the day. There is no need to let me know before Friday.

If you have sent an entry in and your your name does not appear on this list then ring 01228 404767 between 3.10pm and 4.30pm (This is a direct number to my PE office)on Wednesday 18th November to Speak to Mr Whitmarsh.

There is one entry that is at the post office because there was not enough postage paid on it. I will attempt to collect this today so one name will be added.

Hope you all have a fantastic race on Saturday and enjoy the Coach journey down on Friday. It's going to be a great weekend!
