For the time being, Monday Club Announcements will be posted on the website and Facebook rather than in person prior to the club run.
Tonight’s club run will go ahead as planned, but:
– There will be no announcements, this notice will replace them
– Turn up ready to run; meet your running companions outdoors
– avoid using the changing rooms when not necessary, and take any other appropriate precautions if you do.
– The club and its members should continue to follow government, NHS, England Athletics advice, as linked to on the club notice here: http://bournvilleharriers.org.uk/announcements/notice-to-all-club-members-regarding-covid-19-coronavirus/
– Do not turn up to any of our runs if you are showing symptoms
– Check the website or Facebook for up-to-date information on all Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday club sessions, and of course the AGM.
Onto the business-as-usual results roundup!
