$C:\Users\Zena\Documents\eetc logo.gif$ Captains Notes- 8th March 2010

Thanks to Kate and Chris Cammidge for putting on a great trail race at Hadleigh Downs in aid of Fair Havens, on Saturday. The trail runners navigated on the move, the club runners stopped to read instructions, the tri-athletes got lost! A great time had by all and the most amazing cakes after!

Ride leaders this week are Ian George and Chris Mowle. However keep an eye on the web as many members are taking part in Audax rides this weekend (see below) and this may change. Otherwise meet at the Crown Pub, Rayleigh, for 7.30 am

13^TH March – Up the Uts – Saffron Walden (various distances)

14^th March – Kent Invicta Grimpeur 100km or Hilly 50km – Otford

Marshals Urgently Required

For the Hockley Aquathlon on 11^th April. Due to the change in format of this event we need non-competing volunteers – please see Zena or Richard for details.

And also, although this is not an official EETC event, we have been asked if we can help with the Sport Relief fun run on 21^st March at Garons Park, Southend. Please see Janice, Zena or Amy Wright for more details.

Gemma Tune will be starting a new Core Stability Class on Thursday evenings at the pool before swimming from the first week in April.The class will focus on all muscles responsible for stabilising your core-abdominals - back, hip and buttock muscles.

Anyone who wants to attend will need to bring a fit ball and a towel/mat. Further details will follow.

Zena, Sue and Janice are planning a trip to Harris Active in the very near future (Possibly Wednesday). If you want anything please give us your shopping lists and cheques/ cash asap. All brands of gels, bars, drinks etc (and flavours often not seen elsewhere. You must buy a full box but Harris will mix flavours if you prefer. If you don’t want a whole box – find a friend and split the cost. It is much, much cheaper than anywhere else ( Many gels work out to less than 80p.)
