Next week we are inviting anyone to come along and try any of our running sessions. You don’t have to pre-register, just turn up to one of the sessions. If you’ve just done the GNR and need some motivation to keep that fitness, it’s an ideal time to come along and try us. Sessions are as follows:
Monday 8pm Ponteland leisure centre – main club session of about 6 miles training run (intermediates/advanced)
Tuesday 7pm Ponteland leisure centre – ladies only social run 3 to 4 miles at 10-11min/mile steady run (beginners)
Thursday 9.15am Meet on the corner of Darras road and eastern way. 4 to 5 miles training run (beginners/intermediates)
Friday 7pm from Ponteland leisure centre. Steady run 4 to 5 miles (intermediates/men’s beginners)
Please share the post with your friends and relatives. It’ll be great to see a load of new faces coming along and it’s always easier when you know that you’re not the only new one there.  For more information email secretary@pontelandrunners.org.UK

Ponteland Runners to buy tent and flag for Harrier League.

Many thanks to the Mars Refuel Fund who have awarded Ponteland Runners £300 grant to purchase a tent for the Harrier League this winter.

Last winter in our first season in the Harrier League we suffered much “tent and flag envy” as we saw the other clubs and we tried to stay warm and dry.  This year no such problems for Ponteland.  Jon, who organises the Harrier League for Ponteland Runners, now has the funds to buy a Day Shelter ( Right ) to protect us all from the elements.  ( I don’t envy Jon having to wash the tent out after each event…… )

The £300 will also fund a flag,  so we can all find where Jon has pitched the tent at each event.  Probably the smaller size on the left……

If there is anything left after the tent and the flag we’ll put it towards Triathlon England affiliation as it’s another of the club plans.

Once again our thanks go to Mars Refuel fund for their support,  it’s very welcome from all our members.
