Macclesfield Half Marathon - 26th September 2010
Message from Colin Ardron...
The race is fast approaching and we are down on entries compared to the same time last year! Are you doing your bit to publicise the race?
It would be great if every member of the club recruited one person to run the race. How you do this is up to you -it could be by encouragement, nagging, bribery, threats or a combination of all of these. If you are not helping on the day, then why not enter the race yourself? Don't want to hear excuses, if my daughter can do it off virtually no training last year, then so can you. She said that completing her first half marathon gave her more satisfaction than eating a giant bag of honey coated popcorn. Now if you knew my daughter's sweet tooth you would be as amazed as I was by this confession. So don't be a wuss, there is still time to get some training in and recruit someone else as well. It's a highly rated event judging by the very positive feedback from previous participants and all proceeds go to two deserving charities, East Cheshire Hospice and the Macclesfield Track Appeal. So what are you waiting for?

Hi all, Just a quick note, a personal plea to help us be quorate (we from memory need at least 20 members in attendance to comply with the rules of the club's constitution ) can I appeal to you to try to attend the AGM at the Clubhouse at Macc Track starting at 8.15pm prompt this coming Thursday (11th March).
Hopefully there will be nothing TOO controversial to vote on, and it will all be over in a few minutes, but it would be nice for you all to potentially have your say on what your club does for you.
Hope to see you on Thursday. Craig Harwood. Club Chairman, Macclesfield Harriers & AC. (One issue which might be discussed is maintenance of the track, which is urgently required in some areas, but unfortunately the owners Cheshire East Council have only very limited funds to carry this out. A point for debate is whether the club should allocate some of its money to address this. Further info can be obtained from any member of the committee. If you have any views on this - or anything else - please come along to the AGM !) |

Double congratulations to Macclesfield Harrier Seonaid Murray who had an excellent run at the Kelvin Hall Arena in Glasgow recently to become the Scottish indoor 800 metre champion. As a result of this performance, Seonaid was selected to represent Scotland in the Celtic International in Cardiff last weekend. Seonaid had a good battle with the Irish athlete and in an exciting finish secured victory and maximum points for Scotland in the event, in a new personal best time of 2mins 10.5 secs. There's more info here. Seonaid currently runs for Liverpool Harriers, but has been a first or second claim member of Macclesfield Harriers since the age of nine. |

We need your help! The Macclesfield Half Marathon Committee needs a volunteer who could work with some local companies to try to gain some sponsorship for the race so that we can offset some of the expenses and maximise our donations to charity. If you would like to join me and the committee then please contact me via the forum or via the Macc Half Contact button.
Cheers
Mandy
