Happy New year!
CHAIRMAN’S CHAT
Compliments of the season to everyone! I hope your holidays have been safe, fun and happy and that 2014 for you and yours will be all you want and more!
To follow
please find really important information about membership, commitment and info
you need to kick start your year.
Our running
section AGM date is set for Thursday the 6th of February 2014 at
18:30. This is possibly the most
important meeting that you will attend for the year most especially if you want
to contribute to the club and its future. Please diarise so long. You are
welcome to send your points for discussion to the committee so that we can add
these to the agenda. You are also welcome to nominate someone to the 2014
committee. Please note that we will need these no later than 14 days before the
AGM is to take place. We will however send a special mail regarding the AGM and
positions available on the 2014 committee.
Please note our
first race we are organizing will be on Wednesday the 29th of
January and we really do need each and every one of you, to start the Lowveld
running calendar off with a bang! This race traditionally attracts around 750
runners on the day so we will need as many volunteers as possible. This will be
our first race of the 5 we will be organizing for 2014.
As mentioned
earlier, there will be some changes to the membership procedure this year.
Every member, new and old will need to follow these steps carefully in order
for us to process you onto our system. Please note the arrangement with the new
kit available end of February 2014.
Well,
not much more to say other than to see you on the road! Please join our club
long runs on Saturday mornings. We are working on some suggestions to have a
vehicle seconding us on these runs more regularly. We will do our best to
accommodate every type of runner.
Let’s make it
a great running year!

Welcome to the 2014 running year. As the number of people attending the training runs has been so low, I thought an introduction to running might be in order and this book might be handy for some as it was for me!
With ONLY 145 days till Comrades we had better get the show on the road!!!
As mentioned in last month’s R.I.C. the Saturday morning training runs from now till June will be published shortly to be used in your training program, if you would like to assist with this please let me know.
Saturday water vehicle: We need people to volunteer their services for this, if your partner/child/servant/secretary/skelem is available please volunteer in advance and let me know. As the training picks up and mileage increases we might require two vehicles as we still have to cater for all runners and not just Comrades runners. Please also don’t forget your drivers donation of minimum R5.00.
Loskop Marathon weekend camping: We have secured our camping site for the weekend of Friday 11 April – Marathon on 12 April, camping both nights & leaving on Sunday 13 April. If you would like to camp with the club please forward me your name & contact number & amount of people to paul@fnorman.co.za cost is R180.00 per person for the weekend, children 6 years & under stay free.
I wish you all a champion year & may you reach all your running goals.
Paul
