Mercia News-Sheet – Issue 1 – July 2017
This is the first of an occasional and informal news-sheet. The intention is purely to communicate significant events and announcement to the membership. No fancy format, or visuals, just plain text – remember text? You have to actually concentrate and read it! It will only be an email, no paper, although copies will also be put in the members area of the Mercia website (http://merciafellrunners.org.uk/newsletters). You have to login and have member access to see those. If you haven’t got member access login and use http://merciafellrunners.org.uk/request_member_access to ask for it.
For day to day chit-chat go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/271745919515681/

Announcements
British Relay Championships Llanberis 15/10/17 (Pete Hudson)
We are fortunate to have a particularly strong V50 contingent this year and could certainly be leading contenders in this category at the relays later in the year.
In order to plan well in advance for entries could anyone qualifying for this age group (regardless of ability) interested in taking part contact myself - (Pete Hudson) on 07949 394584 or email petehudson2104@gmail.com or Paul Cadman on 07740 402156 or email paul@waltersmith.co.uk
We will also try to contact as many people as possible in the meantime and hopefully thwart messrs Roo, Adney and Jones poaching our potential team members!
Interest was very encouraging from those spoken to at the Callow race so thanks for that. Obviously circumstances can change over the next few months but an early indication of numbers would be most helpful.
Thanks!
