Club News

Again, it looks like we are expecting a few days of extreme heat.

I just want to remind people that the club takes your safety very seriously. As such, we will cancel sessions if we feel conditions are unsafe.

We are planning to take decisions daily using the Met Office weather prediction for 6pm. We will make these decisions as early as possible (before 3pm). Our website will be changed asap to reflect our decision.

Just for information we will cancel if it is icy or above 30°C

What ever happens please take care in the heat.

 

Please warn people about the dangers of swimming in open water.  In the UK most open water is too cold to swim in without expert advice and plenty of experience.

 

Forecast for Wednesday is 33°C and Thursday 34°C.

We will make the final call on the morning of each day.

On 19th September, Stafford Harriers will take over the Isabel Trail Parkrun, and we need your help to make it happen.

We need volunteers for the following roles, so if you can spare your time, please put your name down along with the role you would like to volunteer for.

Due to Oakamoor Vets Cross Country Relays on the 5th we have moved the track session.

Vanessa Parsonage will be taking the session

Please meet at 7:15 for a 1.5-2 mile warm-up followed by drills and strides.
The speed session will last about an hour.

We would then encourage a cooldown of 1-2 miles post-session.

There is a cost of £4.00 for the session. Payable in cash at the event.

 

As a result of our “free” training top promotion at the start of the year, we have several tops spare.

We plan to sell them for £12 each. We have very limited stock and sizes. So please be quick…..

They are offered for collection only.  Rob Mitchell will be at the cricket club next week to hand them out

Collection Monday 6th July, Tuesday 7th July and Wednesday 8th July

News on new race tops.
