Correction!

Please note that the New Years Day run on Moel Famau will be at 11.00 (not midday as in previous blog)

The aim is for approximately one hour sociable run.

Future events

I try to include as many local and interesting races as I can. I trawl through the year-books to find them but it is very time-consuming and not always effective - I miss a lot. It would help me and the rest of the readers a great deal if you could email the details of relevant 2014 events. (preferred - Event, venue, type of race, date/time and an website link)

And if there is an upcoming event you want to remind people about please send details. 

That can be races or training events!

Communications

The use of the BR Gmail account is working well. I think I have shared the calendar with everyone on the list who has a gmail account (you will have received a notification).  It means that if you wish the Buckley Runners calendar events can show up automatically on your calendar. If you have a gmail account and I have missed you off, or if you have an account that is compatible with gmail calendars, or if you you have another account that is gmail based (e.g. all email for the organisation I work for are gmail accounts event though they don't show it in address) please let me know.

BL at Wigg Island and Dates for your diary

Congratulations everybody on a splendid turn-out and some really great performances at Wigg Island today. Good to see Andy and Hayley at their first BL Race, hope they both enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing the results.

I thought it was an excellent course; good to run in a traffic free environment, with a bit of everything. Helsby worked very hard to get everything in place for it having struggled recently to find a suitable course, well done Helsby! The course will not be available for a couple of years while they build the new Runcorn Bridge, but hopefully we can run there again.
