Early warning. On the 12th and 19th of September we have 2 relay events that the club enter. The 12th is the Merseyside Relays at Edge Hill in Ormskirk and the 19th is the North West Relays (venue TBC) Between Jane and I we'll be entering the ladies and Mens teams in the upcoming weeks, so if you're interested please post here. We have no limit on the number of teams we can enter so we are looking to take a Black and White Army to both events, so all welcome (and actively encouraged!). Any questions, let me know.

I'm available for both

In for the 12th

I'm available for both. I'm sure the second one is at Sefton Park again.

the venue for the Northern Relays on 19 Sept is still not officially confirmed, but according to Merseyside County AA meeting this week looks like Blackpool.

Andy

If it helps I can pick up the mens' numbers as I'll be there from about 12 noon because my lad is competing in the U15 event

Nige

I can do 19th as well now if there's a space.

Andy

Just to clarify I am referring to this Saturday's event at Ormskirk

Nige

Nige,

That'd be great if you could.

Cheers

Andy - do you need anyone else for the mens relay?

We may be short of a woman for one of the teams on Saturday. Is there anyone who would like to step up as a reserve? May or may not be needed to run - if you'd like a no-pressure early afternoon jaunt come with us!

I can do the 19th if there's still space

Phil: I've got full teams as of 11am Friday morning but if I have any dropouts over the next 24 hours, I might be in touch.

Adam: Added to the list for the 19th

Apologies Andy. Can no longer make the 19th. Can still make tomorrow if you need a stand in.

Apologies Phil. Missed this on Saturday, no worries.

My plans have been cancelled for Saturday now so can make it if you are a man short.

No worries if not, late notice I know

Dave

FAO Andy Leslie

As I mentioned earlier, unfortunately I've just found out I won't be able to make the relays now.
Apologies for any problems caused Andy...

Ciao
Simo

Cheers Simo, no worries.

David: You're on my list

Some more info on tomorrow's event. Both men's and women's stages look a little longer than in the prospectus and both look twisty!

Some decent travel directions on there too.

(Can someone link this onto the facebook page please - I can't at work!)

It's the same course as 2 years ago...remember if you catch a glimpse of the athletics stadium for the first time on your leg, you may think you're almost at the finish...think again!
