| Tuesday 13th July 2010: Club Donation From the Maskell Family - Following Craig Maskell's recent bereavement, the club has been generously donated the sum of £800 from Craig's family for which we are extremely grateful. The committee have agreed that it would be appropriate to use part of this sum to purchase a trophy to be named in Craig's memory.

It is intended to use the remainder of this sum towards a club development project yet to be decided. |

If you have not already filled in an availability form, but would like to be considered for this fixture, contact Team Managers Mark Baddeley (male U15/17) or Susan Mouzon (female and male U13) with your preferred events and performances. Similarly if you are in the team but unavailable, please let the team managers know. |
| Saturday 10th July 2010: Lincolnshire League - Match 3 - Sunday 11th July -
Important Information - The third fixture of the series takes place on Sunday
11th at Grantham. Athletes wishing to participate in this fixture must report to team managers Denise Timmis (Females) denise.timmis@lwac.org.uk or David Skinner (Males) david.skinner@lwac.org.uk on arrival.
Unfortunately, the league rules limit four entries per club per event in each age group.
In a few events, we may have more athletes wishing to participate than the allocated
four. In these circumstances, places will be allocated on a first come first served basis by the team managers.
On arrival you will then be registered and issued with a number (or bring along your number from the first fixture).
The cost is £2 per athlete match fee (£3 for senior/vet athletes) - payable to LWAC.
Athletes are requested to retain their number for the final fixture of the season. The league is an ideal taster to competition for young athletes, the four athlete limit per event has been imposed by the organisers due to a shortage of officials. If anyone, especially parents, are willing to try to assist in any of our fixtures as officials we would be glad to hear from you. No previous experience is necessary we can arrange for free training for anyone willing to become qualified. If you are interested in helping in any capacity, Marie Phillips our officials secretary marie.phillips@lwac.org.uk would be delighted to hear from you. |
| Friday 9th July 2010: A notice to all Sen/Vet/U20/U17 track athletes. We are currently leading the Northern League Division 2EC with one match remaining. We have a real chance of winning the division (and certainly of qualifying for the promotion playoff match) if we turn out a really strong team for the final match at Scunthorpe on Saturday 31st July. Could all athletes try to note this date and make themselves available. They could also speak to their coach about being selected for the team. |
| Thursday 8th July 2010: The results of last weekend's Northern League match in Rotherham are now available. Third place on Sunday means that we are still at the top of the Division with one match remaining. |
| Wednesday 7th July 2010: Congratulations to Lara Thomas, who defeated a field of 24 in the 1500m at the Gothenburg Youth Games to win the gold medal in a time of 4m 36.62s. |
| Monday 5th July 2010: A reminder that any athletes wishing to compete at the Lincs League match next Sunday must speak with relevant coaches first & not assume that they can just turn up & compete. We are limited on places and want to avoid disappointment on the day. |

| Thursday 1st July 2010:
Results from last night's second LWAC Summer Series races are now
available. Series records are available here.
Many thanks to all of the volunteers who helped last night to run very
smoothly. It was reported that one of the faster runners in the 5k race was less than polite when lapping slower runners. We would ask that all runners respect each other during the race, and that the faster runners take a path around the slower runners and not expect them to leap out of their way. The next races in the series will be on 28th July. Series runners are reminded to collect their numbers for Race 3 from the Race Desk at least 15 minutes before the start of their race. |

| Tuesday 15th June 2010: A number of athletes have yet to pay this
year's subscription despite being sent a number of reminders. Your membership covers your cost of training with coaches and fellow athletes of LWAC and your affiliation to England Athletics.
Without it you can not represent this club. More importantly you are not insured whilst using the track and club facilities. This leaves us with no alternative but to insist that anyone who has still not paid their subscription in full by Tuesday 22nd June will not be able to train on that evening or any subsequent evening and will have to make alternative arrangements. Each coach will be given a list of all overdue subscriptions so, if you think this includes you, you should speak to your coach or a club official if you are not sure how much to pay. |

Another fine 2nd place sees Wellington at the top of the table at the mid-way point of the league season. |
| Sunday 6th June 2010: Lincolnshire Police have contacted us to film the club on Thursday 11th June. It should not interfere with training although they may ask for specific shots from one or two athletes. Our welfare officer has contacted them and, as far as can be established, they are who they say they are. They have been asked to show credentials on Thursday and they will ask for disclaimer to be signed by anyone being filmed. If any coach or athlete has a problem please make sure you let them or your coach know. The footage will be used for in house training by the police and not shown to the public. We will be given a disk. |

This could decide if we can gain promotion to the Northern Premier divisions for our centenary year 2011. If you have not already filled in an availability form, but would like to be considered for this fixture, contact Team Manager's Neil Campbell (male) or Susan Mouzon (female) with your preferred events and performances. Similarly if you are in the team but unavailable, let the team managers know. |
