The event will utilise some of the perimeter pathways of the Common, and will cover distances appropriate to age and gender. Competitors will be asked to estimate their own completion times for the distance, and will not be permitted to use timing equipment (ie. Watch/GPS receiver, etc) during the event. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each Category, with additional prizes being awarded to individuals who record a finish time closest to their estimated running time. Start times are: 10:25am (Under 11s), 10:30 (All other runners) The registration point will open at around 10:00 to allow runners time to register and log estimated times with the officials. Refreshments will also be available at the event. Competitors, spectators and officials should be aware that Carholme Road (A57) could be extremely busy with traffic and that the pedestrian crossing should be used to transit to the Common from the parking area next to the Old Grandstand. |

| Thursday 5th March 2009: The club is keen for somebody to get involved in the role of Fundraiser. Last year, the club expenditure exceeded its income by around £4,000 - mainly due to rising transport and facility charges. In order to keep membership charges to a minimum, we are looking for a fundraiser to explore alternative funding sources and grant award opportunities for various projects. No previous experience is required, just a few hours (mainly in your own time) and a degree of enthusiasm is required. Terms of reference for this role are available. If anyone thinks they can help or would like more information, then please contact secretary@lwac.org.uk. |
| Thursday 5th March 2009: It has been confirmed that the Club XC Championship will take place on the West Common on 14th March. Apologies to any members who have been advised of the incorrect date of 8th March. |
| Thursday 5th March 2009: The County Track & Field Championships will take place at Grantham on 9th/10th May 2009. There is an entry proforma for LWAC athletes only. Athletes wishing to compete in the championships should complete the proforma and give it (along with £1.50 entry fee per event) to Dave Wells on training nights. All entries need to be with him by 14th April. |
| Monday 2nd March 2009: Belated congratulations to Malc Bramhall, who won 2 events at the recent Southern Counties Vets AC Indoor Championships at Lee Valley. He achieved two first places in the 200m and 400m, breaking the Southern Counties Vets Indoor Records, in his new age group of M50, making him a strong medal contender at both events in the British champs this coming weekend. Dot Fraser competed in the W70 200m, gaining first place despite an injury to her heel. |
