Tommy's Training over Christmas/New Year - UPDATED

23/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Endurance based training sessions over Christmas and New Year.
Some of the venues are new, I’ll put further information and directions on this post, nearer the time.
  • Sunday 23rd December - Beamish 9:30am
  • Monday 24th December - Session, Watergate Forest Park, Lobley Hill, meet near the lake 9:30am
  • Wednesday 26th December - Boxing Day Run, Beamish, Eden Place car park 10:30
  • Saturday 29th December - Session, Herrington Park, Penshaw 9:30am
  • Sunday 30th December - Run, Low Burnhall Wood, Durham 9:30am For those who fancy a steady pace Sunday morning run somewhere different.
    Meet at the car park for Low Burnhall Woodland Trust just outside Durham 9:30am.

    Never been there but there’s lots of grass paths and trails and I’m sure there’s a good chance of getting lost and therefore the run might be a little bit longer (although not too bad if you’re having fun?).
    Directions: Nevilles Cross south along A167 past next lights along dual carriageway to next roundabout (Cock of the North roundabout) turn left and the car park is sign posted to the right.
  • Monday 31st December - Beach session, South Shields 9:30am
  • Wednesday 2nd January - Session, Dalton Park 9:30am
  • Thursday 3rd January - Run, Normal Lord Lawson training night

It Asda be worth it!

UPDATE:- We raised the fantastic sum of £673.80 - many thanks to those who helped out on the day, the organiser Craig, and the Asda staff and customers who were so generous with their time and money. THANKYOU!!

Craig Fallon has kindly organised a bag pack at Washington Asda this Saturday (28th July) - we need volunteers from 9.30am until 3pm. The more people we can get helping out, the more money we can raise for the club, which really helps us to buy new equipment, fund buses for national events, support athletes who are competing internationally for the first time etc. Please come and help out even if it's only for an hour or two - this is YOUR club and we need your support! Remember to come dressed in Birtley gear (vest/t-shirt/hoodie) :)​

0 Comments

 
Now that it's finally been made public, a big shout out for Lydia Turner who has been selected to represent Great Britain in the European Cross Country Championships on the 9th December at Tiburg, Netherlands.
This will be her 5th vest, the other 4 were as a junior and the last one being January 2015. What an emotional journey - a really proud day (Coach Tom Millmore)
