Christmas is coming, the Eagles are getting fit

Just a quick update on the festivities we have planned.

Club Social - Wednesday 30th November, New Inn

The December social will take place a week earlier than expected on Wednesday 30th November at The New Inn, from 8:30pm.

These regular events are a great way to relax post-run and chat to fellow members.

Santa Suit Collection

Santa Suits are still available to buy online.

If you've ordered a Santa Suit it is suggested that you collect it in advance of the Santa Run so you can adjust the length of the trousers and customise/accessorise as desired.

The Santa Suits are "one size fits all" with a drawstring waist and come with a thin plastic belt, but you will probably want to wear one of your own belts over the suit.

Wednesday 30th November - Ealing Eagles Social (The New Inn)

Santa suits will be available at the Ealing Eagles Social in The New Inn (from 8:45pm)

Saturday 3rd December - Gunnersbury parkrun

Santa suits will be available from the Cafe after the parkrun (from 9:30am)

 

Santa Suit

If you cannot make one of these events to collect your santa suit, it will be available for you to collect on the morning of the Santa run prior to the parkrun start (8:30am)

Santa Run - Route confirmation

The 2011 Ealing Eagles Santa Run will take place after the Gunnersbury parkrun on Saturday 10th December 2011.  The Route has now been confirmed.

This free event is open to members and guests of members to enjoy.

Schedule

08:30 Meet to collect Santa Suits before the Gunnersbury parkrun (if you haven't already collected your suit)

09:00 Gunnersbury parkrun (5km)

09:30 Tea & Mince Pies at the cafe in Gunnersbury Park

10:15 Santa Run (part II), a 5km Route from Gunnersbury Park to The New Inn, taking in Gunnersbury Park, Ealing Common, Ealing Broadway, Walpole Park & Lammas Park.

11:00 New Inn for more tea & mince pies (good preparation for the Ealing Eagles Christmas Party) 

Christmas Party

There is still time to buy advance tickets for the Christmas Party for only £5.  We've got a great evening planned and have secured a late license to 1am.  We will also be providing some nibbles to help you last the distance.

BUY CHRISTMAS PARTY TICKETS (£5)

The Annual Awards presentation will take place during the evening in addition to the ballot for our VLM places.

Interval Training

Just in case you thought that we didn't do any training, Interval Training is continuing to be a popular session and following on from our track debut we will be visiting Perival Track every other Thursday.

December 2011

TRACK - Thursday 1st & 15th December
HILL - Thursday 8th & 22nd December

 

January 2012


TRACK - Thursday 5th & 19th January
HILL - Thursday 12th & 26th January

Perivale 5

Our neighbours at ESM are staging their annual Perivale 5 (miles) on Sunday 4th December.  We've got a number of Eagles already entered, but online entries are still open via Runners World.
The Eagle-eyed among you will notice that we don't have any results entered for a 5mile race, so if you wear your vest you've got a fair chance of getting your name near the top of the leaderboard for this distance.

Marketing Officer

We're delighted to welcome Melissa Priest onto the committee in the role of Marketing Officer.  Melissa stepped up to the challenge a few weeks ago and is getting to grips with how we can best spread the word of the Eagles to members, runners and the wider community.  If you have any ideas or suggestions on this front, please contact us.
