R  MCDONALD   (CLUB CHAIRMAN)

DATED THIS DAY 16 / 05 / 2022 

To all members.

Once again our turn to host a 5k race as part of the Peterborough GP Series will soon be upon us.

We have an excellent reputation of organizing well run races and we would like this to continue. To do this though we need volunteers to marshal both the junior 3k and senior 5k race on Wednesday 3rd August 2022. We use bus lanes and main roads at a peak time of the evening so marshals are even more important. We also of course have to comply with health and safety requirements.

This is the only race that we host as a club, and the income this generates enables us to maintain club membership subscriptions at their current level.

I hope you can make space in your diary and help out.

As an incentive to volunteer as a marshal, you can, if you wish, have your name entered into a draw for a free entry for one or all of the following forthcoming events:

Folksworth 15 (2 places available) – now rearranged to January 2023 

Sawtry 10 mile (1 place) 4 September 2022

Sandringham 10k (1 place) 25 September 2022

Sandringham 24 hour race (1 place)   19 – 21 August 2022

 Please sign up on the sheet on the notice board that I will bring to club night to advise Ann Woods (our marshal in chief) of your availability, or let me know by calling/ texting 07757 747 588 or e-mail wjchairman@werringtonjoggers.co.uk as soon as possible, indicating which race draw(s) you wish to be entered in, so we can allocate marshal positions. 

The 3k race starts at 7.00pm and the 5k race starts at 7.30pm, so marshals will be required from 6pm on the night, to collect their marshal bibs and get to their positions in good time.

Many thanks

Rod McDonald

Race Director

Congratulations to the winners and runners up of the Ron Dodson Cup. See the results here

Just a heads up to ask members to be available to marshall the Werrington 3k and 5K races on Wednesday evening  3 August 2022. This is part of the Peterborough Grand Prix Series and is the only race we host as a club. The income this generates enables us to maintain club subscriptiions at their current level.

If you wish to be affilliated with England Athletics  please let Tim Cook have your EA suscription of £16 if you have not already done so. We are proposing to allign the Werrington Joggers year end with that of England Athletics , i.e. 31 March, in order to reduce the administration involved . This will be at no extra cost to members who can choose either to affilliate to EA or not, and there will only be one payment required each year. 

This will require an Extraordinary General Meeting to seek a majority membership agreement:look out for email/website announcement in due course.
