INTER CLUB UPDATES |
Although the Salwick club has closed down this fixture will go ahead using the usual course. BNFL have kindly allowed the use of their car park but toilet facilities will be vastly reduced and there is no changing.
Post-race refreshments will be in the Lane Ends pub on Weeton Road in Wesham (PR4 3DH). A map detailing how to get there will be available on the night.
Please note that the date has been put back a week from the original. Apparently there is a circus on Worden Park on the 2nd September and South Ribble BC only want one circus at a time on the park. ( Red Rose’s joke, not mine – Ed.)
In addition, this year’s fixture will feature a new, well-marshalled course of 4.2 miles, mainly based on the park.
Post-race refreshments will be in the Eagle and Child, Church Road as in 2008.

RACE 4 LIFE TUES/WED 14TH/15TH JULY 2009 |
The 2009 Blackpool Race for Life takes place on Tuesday 14th July and again on Wednesday 15th July starting at Lawson Playing Fields near De Vere Hotel.
Once again BWFAC have been asked to provide course marshals and car park organisers.
If you are available to assist this very worthwhile cause please let me know which night(s) you can attend.
Car Park helpers from 18.00 and Course Marshals from 18.30 with the race starting approx 19.30 over a 5k (or thereabouts) course.
This is a Women's only event and raises much needed money for Cancer Research and can be a very moving and emotional evening.
Please help by donating a couple of hours of your time as I am sure most of us know or have known someone who has suffered from cancer.
Thanks
