Lottery News

In view of the recent bad weather which has resulted in having had to cancel recent club sessions.  Our very own 3M's Gorseinon chancellor - The Right Honourable Geoff White, has recognised the fact that people have had difficulty in paying their lottery money to him, and he has decided to extend the current 5 week in arrears credit to 10 weeks for the month of January. From Feb 1st it will revert back to 5 weeks again.

05/01/2010 15:50:27

No club session tomorrow (6th Jan 2010)
A decision was made earlier to postpone Wednesdays track session due to the current weather conditions, and the fact that temperatures will remain around freezing for the next few days, probably making the University track too slippery to run on.
Next Wednesdays session (13th Jan) will be changed to the University track, and we'll continue with the published training schedule as normal from 20th Jan.
Please pass this message on if you can……….. thanks

Final Grand Prix 2009 - Swansea Bay 10K

Well done to everyone who took part in the 10K on Sunday.

Producing the Grand Prix results (and the final Grand prix standings for the year) is proving difficult because injured/sick runners have given their numbers to other people (not all of whom are club members).

Some runners have also not entered their club as '3M Gorseinon Road Runners' .

Paul has sent out a provisional set of results via email. Please let him know of any mistakes by Mon 5th October at the latest. If you do not have access to email, please check your result with Paul or Fay ASAP.

Training Schedule

Training Schedule up until 11th November is now available on the Training page.
