KIT Christmas Party!
icon1 Eric the Eel | icon2 News, Social | icon4 08 1st, 2010| icon3No Comments »

I have recently been contacted by the Kendleshire with information about their 2010 Christmas party nights.  I realise it is only July, but sadly you have to start thinking about these things ridiculously early in order to get the day and location you want. 

The last two Christmas parties have gone down well at the Kendleshire so I have provisionally booked to go there again on Thursday 23rd December.  The cost is £27.00 per person for a 3 course meal and disco, same as the 2 previous years.

I have provisionally booked 20 places so would now like to know who is interested in coming along.  If you are please could you let me know via email ASAP to leefrancis4@blueyonder.co.uk or text 07859 826618.  I will also need a £10 non-refundable deposit from you to confirm your place. 

 I am happy to pay for the event on my card and ask people to either: transfer money to my account (details on request), pay cash to me or Eric, or send a cheque payable to ‘Kingswood Tri Club’ to Jer Dale (address below).

 Jer’s address is:

J Dale

Kingswood Tri Club

Patch Elm Farm

Wotton Road

Rangeworthy

South Glos

BS37 7LS

If you send a cheque to Jer please can you let me know by email/ text, he may be going on holiday and I will need to know who’s paid and how many are coming in his absence.

I’m sorry to have to do this but I will need to set a deadline for payment as I will owe the amount on my card.  Can all deposits please be paid by Monday 9th August.

Come to Kingswood Leisure Centre on Thursday 25th February for 19:30 -20:30 for swim video analysis.  Our Coach James Eastwood, ’Beasty’ to his mates, will video our stroke and hopefully provide a copy of this to allow us to see what we are doing wrong!

We have an added bonus in that Trevor Kingdom of Black Sheep Sports will be visiting us to swim with us and then after the session from 20:45 give us a demo on Scott trainers -  check out the details http://www.3-to-tri.co.uk/run_store_14.html  he has offered some great club offers – these shoes generally retail for over £100 each

Location: Kim’s Cafe Hot Water Lane off Station Road, Kingswood

Be there from 8:30 to be issued with your KIT – please bring a cheque for the outstanding balance as it will be easier to administer than cash.

The kit looks fantastic check out a sneek preview here

Looks fab!

Looks fab!

Please be looking your best for the start as we have the pleasure of a professional sports photographer from 220 Magazine to take some shots of the race and then when we return a few group shots!

Race to start at 9am from Hot Water Lane. The route will be a little longer than last time to bring it up to 10k.

John Thorpe currently has the course record with 36min 12 sec, but as there will be changes to the course a new record is up for grabs!

Kim’s Cafe will be open from 9:30 so you will need to bring some money for a nice breakfast after the run.

If you cannot race not to worry just come on down at 10:00 for a breakfast to be part of our 5minutes of fame and join us!

The kit launch will take place at approximately 10 – 10.30am.

Thanks, Lee

*PS -* If you’re not able to race we can always do with a helping hand time-keeping and marshalling, so please come along if you’re free from 9am onwards!

Start Time: 09:00

Sep 24

Starting this Saturday (27th September 2008).

I have been organising these runs for the past 15 years, the routes and distances vary each week depending on the needs of the group. No one ever gets dropped! . It is much more enjoyable than road running and is a good social as well. Trail type shoes are useful as is a Camelbak ( 500-750ml per hour for your drinking needs) . You will see that there are two choices of distance, the main benefit of finishing at my house is that there are usually tea and biscuits provided by Alex. Perhaps those finishing at Swineford could bring a flask? The routes are more challenging when it gets colder and wetter.

Start # 1. 8:30am @ 13 Caverton Road,Saltford. Flat run along the river,past ‘Jolly Sailor’ pub and along riverbank to cycle path, over bridge at new platform/mooring stage, back along river to Swineford Picnic area.

Start # 2. 9:00am @ Swineford Picnic area. Hilly,muddy,wet run, up ‘The Gully’ to North Stoke, up The Sheeptrack’ to Lansdown golf course, along the top to Lansdown lane, long downhill to Upton Cheyney,

Along North Stoke lane to ‘Pipley Gully’ down to stream, up stream to North Stoke and back down the ‘Gully to the Picnic Area, end of run for those doing the shorter route.( Approx 5.5 miles)

From Swineford, along road to North Stoke turning, right towards the river, through Kelston Mills to cycle path , back to Claverton Road via Saltford High Street ( Approx 11 miles )
