There are a number of changes to the original timetable over the coming weeks.
Track Session
Next Thursday November 22nd we have booked to share the track at Ilkeston with Amber Valley AC. They will just be doing a few sprint drills, so we will have most of the track for our training. For those going from Belper who wish to share transport, meet at the Leisure Centre 6.30, bay one to share transport. Alternatively meet at Ilkeston Rutland track at just before 7pm. The session is for an hour and there is a small charge of £1.50p.
This will be an excellent opportunity for those who wish to increase their speed skills in a light safe environment.
Training Handicap
The December Handicap we have decided to put back a week. Instead of Tuesday December 4th we have decided to move back to Tuesday December 11th. The reason for this being that the third BDL has been moved from its original date to Sunday December 2nd. As we are hoping for another good turnout at the BDL ,we thought just two days later to expect runners to do the Handicap, is expecting too much, particularly at this time of the year.
Christmas Training
As Christmas Day and New Years Day both fall on a Tuesday we have arranged some alternative dates over the Christmas/New Year period.
On Thursday December 20th instead of a speed session an ordinary run for an hour. This is for all who wish to train and will start from the Whitemoor Day Centre at 6.30.
Sunday December 30th from the Leisure Centre car park at 10am, a run for an hour or so, similar to any Tuesday evening run but maybe a bit of off-road.
Thursday January 3rd ordinary run from the Whitemoor Day Centre at 6.30.
On Tuesday January 8th sees us back to normal at the Leisure Centre.
North Midlands X-country League
There has also been a change of dates and venues in this league. The last two races have swapped dates. The race at RAF Cranwell on December 1st has been moved to January 12th while the Wollaton Race is now on December 1st.
