Lothian Running Club

For a few years now there’s been a group from the Club going to the Tiree 10k. This year’s race has now been fully advertised and application forms are available from http://www.tireefitness.co.uk/.  The date has moved back to its original weekend, Saturday 26^th May.

I’ve already had some interest but I’d like confirmation from anyone who is thinking of going. There are 18 places available in total, though this can vary a bit according to the make up of the group. Alan Stevenson House was fully refurbished in 2011 and the rooms are 2 or 3 bedded ones, so the number available would depend on people being able to share. The cost is £31 per person per night, to include dinner, bed and breakfast. You could opt to stay for only 1 night (Saturday) or for 2 nights if you added on Friday, though the Friday night would be B&B only – no dinner provided – at reduced cost. You have to organise/share transport which adds cost, including £18.50 return ferry fare. (Taking a car across costs £95.00 return!)

I need to confirm numbers for accommodation, and pay a deposit fairly soon, so if you want to come and do one of the most relaxed, picturesque 10k races around, then let me know as soon as possible, and no later than 10^th February. Give me a call (01506) 492088 or email me at peterwest@blueyonder.co.uk

The FiddlersHandicap is to be slightly changed for February. The senior format will remain unchanged as the standard handicapped race. The Junior Fiddlers is to be changed to a time trial as opposed to a handicapped race. All juniors will start together with a tail runner and two marshals on route.

We need parents/club members to volunteer to marshall/act as tail runner each month, please contact David Berrill if you can help.

We will still meet at Inveralmond School, therefore juniors will require lifts from their guardians to the start of the Fiddlers.
