An endurance group session has been organised for Saturday 29 December 2012 at 10.30am at Newbattle Playing Fields, Easthouses Road (opposite Newbattle High School) for any athlete who wishes to come along.
Please note there are no changing facilities or shelter so please check with Linda (07833 667489) or Kirk (07805 107857) prior to the session in case the weather is against us!
Will all endurance athletes who normally train at George V Park, Bonnyrigg on Thursday nights at 7.00pm please note that the pavilion is closed this week so there will be no training at night.
However, we do intend to meet at the pavilion on Thursday at 11.00am for a training session.
As the changing facilities will be closed and there is no shelter it will have to be weather permitting, so if it is raining then we will have to cancel it.
If in doubt then please telephone Linda or Kirk – Thanks !

If anyone has any old Club vests and spikes that are in fairly good condition that you no longer use or need and wish to donate to the Club could you give them to Linda Smith or any of the other Coaches. These would be very useful for new members who have not yet managed to get their own.
Please note that with effect from Thursday 29 November 2012 the training times for athletes going to Dalkeith High School Campus are as follows:

The second match in the East District League Cross Country League took place at Livingston on Saturday. One of our under 17 athletes, Callum Clark , has prepared a report of the race which is attached for your information.
Callum has mentioned in his report the number of athletes that were competing for the club at Livingston and it was fantastic to see the club so well represented. A total of 46 athletes competed for the club.
We are doing well and the the final league match is at Broxburn on 12/01/2013. It would be great to build on the numbers that competed at both Stirling and Livingston so please let’s keep the momentum going for this final meeting in January.
Please remember to put 12/01/2013 in your diaries.
Finally a big thank you to Callum for his report and also to everyone that came out to compete and support Lasswade AC.
