August Newsletter, Up coming races, Tail running & Membership

Up Coming Races

As the Autumn marathon season approaches many of our runners are entering pre-marathon races.
 
Maidenhead Half Marathon

First up for the club is the Maidenhead half on the 4th of September where we hope to have a strong Ealing Eagles contingent. If anyone who isn't running fancies themselves as a photographer for the day then contact any committee member for more details.

Chiswick 10km

Two weeks later on the 18th of Sept we will have many Eagles running in the Chiswick 10km which starts in Chiswick Business Park opposite Gunnersbury station, This is an excellent opportunity to promote our club locally, We expect to see Eagles vests out in force on the day. Those who still havent entered can register at http://www.yellowumbrelladay.com/register.lasso
 
Our monthly summer Wednesday 10miler is now brought forward a week to allow a taper for members doing the Maidenhead half, as the nights draw in
we will commence this run on Wednesday the 24th of August at the earlier time of 7pm.

Tail Running - Volunteering

Its great to see many members volunteering as tail runners for our Monday and Wednesday runs, to make the process simplier we have set up a logging system on our website http://www.ealingeagles.com/tailrunner-scheduleIdeally members should only have to tail run 2 or 3 times per year, we will now be able to see who has been avoiding volunteering! Please put your name down whenever you can. 

Membership & Joining

If you haven't already joined on the website and paid your £5 annual membership fee, then there has never been a better time.The club is operated on a not-for-profit basis and is affiliated to the Association of Running Clubs which provides Public Liability Insurance for our training sessions.
 
We currently have 114 paid up members and the clubs goal is to have 150 paid up members by the end of the year and 200 by the 1st of April 2012. Many of our new members have heard of the club through word-of-mouth which is great, so please continue to promote the Eagles to any potential new runners. We will get Ealing running.
Much hard work has been going on behind the scenes to get the club affiliated with UK Athletics, we hope to have some further news on this in our next newsletter.
 

Santa Run and Christmas Social

The committee are busy looking to see if the local council will give us permission to run a 5km Santa fun run on Saturday the 10th of December with a possible Christmas club social on afterwards, please keep the date free in your diaries!
 
Go running !
Regards,
The Committee
