Hi, Duncan - with Sedbergh, my 9 year old will hopefully complete all 6 races, running in the U10's. Will this mean he gets a hoody or a t-shirt (just so I can prepare myself for the grumpiness should it be t-shirt...!!)

Hoody AND Tshirt for all six. Grumpiness a thing of the past!

Blimey! Might have to keep that piece of information to myself - a useful bargaining chip methinks!!

Quick bump.

Looking forward to seeing everyone here at Marl Pits in Rossendale for what should prove to be a good day for everyone.

The shop for Hoodies and T-Shirts is open now.

Click here.

If you have started 4 races you get a T-Shirt, 6 you get a T-Shirt and a Hoodie. The shop has a list of who gets what!

To get them delivered via the Junior Do you have to have ordered by midnight on Tuesday 17th July. (They will order the T-Shirts on the Wed, receive on Thursday and print them up Thursday and Friday before delivering them to me!)

See you in Rossendale.

Another bump, tshirts & hoddies above, check them out!

A great end to the championship season.

As said, a great end to the junior championship, many thanks to Rossendale for hosting it, to Duncan and the rest of the guys for the organisation, but most of all to the juniors themselves, the parents and coaches for a day that was so thoroughly enjoyed by all.

A big Thank You to Graham Wright & the Rossendale crew for their welcome & hospitality at Marl Pits today, to Graeme Woodward, Nick Harris, Phil Bolton, Bashir & Gavin Thomas for their coaching expertise, Lecky for sorting the great hoodies & shirts & supporting Hamish with the orienteering. And of course Pippa Maddams for a fascinating, illuminating and inspiring presentation. But most of all, thanks to all the juniors, parents and coaches who made the day such a brilliant day with their enthusiasm and energy.

All in all a great end to an excellent Championship which has seen some superb junior racing. Will put more detailed outline of the day on the junior pages when I've had some sleep!

New for this year - certificates for U08 and U10, who took part in 4 or more races.
They can be downloaded for printing here. Choose 'Award Certificates' located on the 'Infant' menu tab.

Shame we couldnt make the 'do', but Bella and Florences Tee shirts arrived today and are great, hopefully they will parade them down at the track in Nottingham when they go next week.
