LASSWADE ATHLETIC CLUB

Notice is hereby given that the 2017 AGM will be held on the 15th March at Newbattle Golf Club 7pm. All members are invited.

The Road Race is nearly with us again. Numbers are good and everyone is looking forward to a great day.

A key part of the whole experience is the famous Lasswade Tea/Coffee/Sandwiches   spread provided for Athletes after the race.

Ruth Szymanski is urgently seeking volunteers from the LAC community to assist with this task.

Please contact Ruth at training or through the Club website as soon as possible.

Many thanks.

John Gillespie (Secretary)

Final results are now in for the second of the Indoor League matches. We are still in the process of checking on one result, however this will not affect the overall totals. Again well done to the whole team, great turnout, great individual and team performance.

Congratulations also to Adam Leighton and Michelle Blaikie on acheiving Grade One AAA Standard performances in the High Jump. This puts their performances in the top 7.5%, based on the AAA Standards Scheme and Power of Ten database.

SAIL 2016-17 Match 2 PM Results v6 FINAL

Third match of the series is Sunday 19th February. Good luck to all the athletes taking part.

The results have now been confirmed for the first of the Indoor League matches. These are the results that will appear on Power of Ten. I have checked to make sure all the changes needed were made. The only new change needed is to remove our runner from the results for the U13 girls B String 60m.  This is getting removed and has no effect on any of the points totals. If you see anything I have missed please get in touch.

Olympian and former Club Athlete Freya Ross will give a talk and answer questions on her book Food on the Run. Freya, using her vast athletic experience, has produced a book of recipes aligned to the needs of athletes. It stresses that recipes don’t need to be complicated to be nutritious and that in general terms they can be  quick and easy to make.

The target audience is of course parents , athletes and coaches  and the evening aims to provide information that would be good for all involved in competitive athletics.

The event takes place at Newbattle Golf Club, Abbey Road, Dalkeith.

The programme is :-

7.00                Gathering and introduction.

7.30- 8.30     Freya Ross – Talk and questions session.

8.30-9pm      Tea/Coffee.

Tickets(free) will be  available from Dave Hand and Club Coaches. Numbers will be limited to 50.
