England
Athletics Affiliation (from Bob Jackson)
England Athletics emailed me at 4:05pm on 2nd
April to tell me I am now a registered athlete with Valley Striders AC. 210
others should have received a similar email at the same time. If you are
expecting to be registered but didn't get this email, then email membership@valleystriders.org.uk
and I will investigate (NB please check your
Junk email folder first!).
Lapsed
memberships
There are now just 23 people who've neither
renewed nor resigned their V S club membership.
There is a list at www.valleystriders.org.uk/archive/vsmemreg.htm.
These 23 haven't had their E A registrations renewed, have now been removed
from VS Facebook Groups and will be removed from the email distribution list after
this vsupdate email has been sent. If they renew,
they will be reinstated.
Food for Tuesday 16
April after both training sessions
Food will be available around 7:10pm. Choices are
- Beef lasagne
- Pulled pork buns and fries
- Jacket potatoes with cheese and/or baked beans (V)
Cost is £3 per portion. It is not possible to order half portions for
juniors, but two small juniors could share a portion (extra plate and cutlery
will be provided), or a junior could share a part of
their full portion with a hungry adult.
Please order to earlyfood@valleystriders.org.uk
by 9:30a.m. Monday 15 April stating how
many portions of each option you require.
Pay on the night, but if you order and then
