The Washburn Valley relay is on Friday 18th July starting at Swinsty reservoir at 7:15. This year the race has been reduced to 3 legs of about 3.5 miles each. If you are interested in running please let me know before Saturday 12th.

We are planning on going to the Baildon Beer festival at the Junction pub (bottom of the hill up to Baildon) on Friday 25th July followed by a curry in Shipley. Everyone is welcome (men and ladies and partners) meet 7:30.

On Tuesday 12th August we are planning a club run with a difference. We will catch the train from Baildon to Ilkley and run back to Esholt over the moors. The train leaves Baildon at 7:00 so meet at Esholt at 6:40 or at Baildon station at 6:55. Don't forget Ł2.20 for the fare. Don't be late cos the train won't wait.

The Leeds Country Way relay is on Sunday 31st August. If you would like to run please let me know ASAP. I think we should try and get a mens team, ladies team and a mixed team out - although that might be stretching the resources!!

Airedale Athletics (St. Bede's, Eccleshill Runners and Bradford-Airedale) have the opportunity to enter the Canadian cross-country championships in Toronto on 29th November.
