We received this email inviting us to the presentation afternoon:
We are intending to hold a league presentation afternoon this year for a change. The date will be Sunday 16th May, from 2.00pm onwards. The venue will be Leo’s Rugby Club (just off King Lane in Alwoodley – where the Meanwood Valley Trail race is based).
The plan is to hold a school sports day (aka The PECOlympics) for the senior runners (including events such as the sack race, 3-legged race, egg and spoon race, tug of war, etc.) and a short XC race for the juniors during the afternoon, followed by a BBQ at about 4.30pm and the team and individual prize presentations immediately afterwards. The bar will be open during the BBQ and presentations!
The cost of the BBQ will be £6 per head and it will include steak, chicken, sausages, potatoes and salad (with a ‘proper’ vegetarian alternative). Having been to a BBQ at Leo’s before, I can testify to both the quality and quantity of the food provided! The BBQ will be ‘ticket only’ and we will need to know definite numbers (and receive payment) by the end of April. Club members are welcome to attend the sports day and presentations without buying a BBQ ticket, if they prefer not to do so.
At this stage, I would like to know if your club is likely to attend and, if so, approximately how many of you would be likely to come along. It would also help to know about how many juniors (if any) will be coming along from your club. It would also be good to hear your suggestions for events to include in the sports day: we will probably go with the most popular 4 or 5 events to prevent the whole thing getting out of hand and running on for hours and hours!
If you are interested, mention it to one of the committee at run club.
