Cross Country Event with Club Iberia in March 2012 in Madrid
Dear All
BA Clubs and Club Iberia are holding a
series of inter-club events, with alternative events held in UK and Madrid.
The football event has taken place at the Concorde Club last month.
I've been charged with sorting out the running event.
The proposal is to have a cross country
race in Madrid in March 2012 - date to be confirmed (probably 2nd or 3rd
weekend of the month).
It was suggested that to make it more
competitive, we either have more teams participating or try and 'tag' onto a
local race. There is interest from our South Wales and Newcastle clubs,
so we could make this competitive ourselves if we can gather several teams
together.
Proposal - Men's teams to consist of 5
runners each, and Ladies teams 3 runners each. Distance proposal - 8-10k
for men, 5-6k for ladies. (any other thoughts on distance and number
of runners in teams welcome).
As mentioned, this event is to take place
in Madrid in March. This is being treated as an ASCA event (although
not strictly so), so flights will be organised by BA Clubs with taxes paid
for, i.e. FOC. This could be a day trip or overnight trip. If overnight
trip, participants will have to bear the accommodation/food costs. I don't
propose a delegat rate. We could ask our hosts to help us book
accommodation and we pay direct to the hotel ourselves although I find Booking.com
has great rates.
If you are interested to participate please
forward your name to Barry Walters, Paul Brandon or myself. I need to
have a feel of the level of interest in order to firm things up with
Club Iberia, and ask them about local races if necessary.
Many thanks Clara
