Update: British Fell And Hill Relay Champs - Saturday 17th October 2015
Apologies to all who have been awaiting further details of this event, but Clayton-le-Moors Harriers were delayed in making more information available and opening entries, and I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks.
The club had provisionally agreed to fund the entry fees for two teams (6 in a team). The view was a third team would be entered and the cost of this borne by the full 18 participants i.e. around a fiver a head. Now we know that team categories differ from last year; women must enter as an all-female team. So the immediate question is: can Pudsey Pacers identify six women (and ideally a reserve) who wish to participate?
A further complicating factor is that I have been asked to speak at an important conference the very same weekend and will likely have to give this priority. Ideally for me someone will volunteer to take over my role, and I’ll try to participate if things change. Certainly I can submit entries but in my absence someone will be needed to undertake the general logistical harrying nearer the date: sorting out whose travelling with whom, cars, kit etc.).
The event will take place at Pendle Hill, Lancashire. It’s around a 90 minute drive from Pudsey so lends itself to a day-trip, which may be more appropriate than seeking accommodation (as in previous years).
Entries close on Sunday the 6th of September so please reply to this forum post asap. with a commitment to participate and thoughts on the women’s team. And volunteer to help if you can.
