I’m hopeful that the rugby pitches will be fit on Tuesday evening but we may have to reduce to 4 activities as the Paarlauf may be like speed skating!
There will be a message here by 4pm Tuesday if the sessions are cancelled, in which case the following contingency plan will be invoked.
Contingency Plan
- There will be 2 groups at 6:00pm, both running on the pavements on the Buckstone Estate
- Richard will lead his usual 6pm “C” group (NB this will be a road session even if Leos is “fit”).
- I will lead the other group which will have a maximum size of 12. It will be open to anyone school year 6 and above. If you want to be in this group if training on the rugby pitch is cancelled you should indicate this when replying to the FB post. You may do this even if you requested the 4:45 or 5:30 group. If there are more than 12 applicants, I will select 12.
- No groups at other times
Bookings for March are now open
Please book by Thursday 2 March 10pm for the best chance of getting your preferred timeslot.

Safety notices
We introduced new safety procedures when the clocks went back at the beginning of November 2022.
We realise that not all parents will want to help or watch from the sidelines when the weather gets colder and/or wetter and we know that the car park at Leos is not well lit and is busy.
Parents who aren’t helping with the session or watching from the sidelines must fill in a form with their mobile phone number and car registration and car location so that we can contact them and/or find them if there is an incident involving their child or their child wants to leave the rugby pitch before the end of the session. The form will be under the covered area in front of the clubhouse.
The meeting points will now be in front of the clubhouse as it is too dark in the small car park.
Warning – NO WAGGLING – there was an incident at Leos a few months ago when one child was waggling a post and the top of the post hit another child in the face. Let’s be safe this week – before you arrive, please tell your child/ren that they mustn’t touch any of the posts at any time.
Warning – wearing of spikes is not allowed
This week – 77 attending – 3 groups (maybe 2) at 4:45, 4 groups (maybe 3 or 2) at 5:30 , 1 group at 6:00, 2 groups at 6:15
Everyone please arrive 5 mins before the advertised session start time so that the session can start promptly and the children all get 40 minutes of training.
NB please ensure you are aware of the rules for Confirmation and Cancellation in the following link https://www.valleystriders.org.uk/juniors-training-at-leos-2022/
If you have any queries, please comment on the Facebook post or email [email protected]
On Tuesday, if you need to cancel, please text 07775 898 558 (don’t use any other method, not email, not gmail, not Facebook, not Messenger, not Whatsapp) (but do use WhatsApp for the 7:15 group).
