Club session for Weds 20th Jan is at Penyrheol
 Sessions for the 6th & 13th Jan were cancelled due to the bad weather conditions
Next Wednesdays session (20th Jan) will be changed from Elba to  Penyrheol, and we'll continue with the published training schedule as normal from 27th Jan.
Please pass this message on if you can……….. thanks

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
