Semester 2, Number 3

Chairman

Just a few points of changes:

·         I convinced the groundsmen to mark us a three lane 200m straight on the grass.  Although it is slightly bumpy, it is still suitable for anyone who wants to do any grass strides/sprints etc.  This is located between Coalport and the big pylon.

·         Chris R has set up a new forum for discussions about the club. This can be accessed through the picture website www.suac.co.uk/pictures or directly at http://suac.proboards36.com/. Each of you are members to the forum. Your username is your first name followed by the first initial of your surname (e.g. Joe Bloggs-JoeB). Your password will have been sent to your e-mail accounts. Ash C, Lois T, Nick G, Nicola H, Scott B have not been set up yet as I don’t have a valid e-mail account for you. If anyone knows their e-mail accounts, I would be grateful if you send to me.

·         www.suac.co.uk/pictures has been updated again with the latest pictures from last Wednesday’s Gobble and other pictures have also been added from previous Gobbles.

·         Committee meeting this Wednesday so if any body has any issues to be brought up, can you e-mail them to me ASAP.

Hope training is going well for you all!

The biggest cross country fixture of the university year is now fast approaching. If you are planning to come on this trip, here is the key info:

* Meeting outside the Leek Road Venue at 5:30pm on Friday 4th Febuary. Please dont be late, we will be leaving fairly promptly so we can make dinner somewhere halfway decent.

* Bring adequate clothing to last 3 days. This includes your kit (clothing & spikes!) and your 'fancy-togs' for the social afterwards. If you need a vest, contact one of the cross country captains before we go so appropriate provisions can be made.

* Also, please bring adequate funds to last 3 days, including your meals. Please note however that breakfasts are included in the £50 you've already paid, so you dont need to worry about them.

* However, please bear in mind that the minibus will be filled to its maximum capacity of 17 people, so if we can keep excess/unnecessary baggage down to a minimum, it will make for a more safer & comfortable journey for all of us

* The race timetable for those of you who are worrying about it is as below.

We are running at Boddington Fields, Leeds University

Look forward to seeing you all on Friday,

Kind Regards,

Craig Taylor

Please find BUSA details in Men's section.

Hi everyone

For those of you that don't know we have got an indoor
athletics meet a week on thursday at the national indoor
arena.  This is a team competition against the top
universities (god knows why we are invited) and armed
forces which has been held annually for quite a few years.
Details are on the noticeboard so please go and put your
name down there, read it (!) and then ask for further
details if you are unsure about anything.  It is a
privilage to still be invited to such a selective
competition so lets please make an effort to put names down
so we don't completely embarrass ourselves with a 3x 200m
relay team!It is a great opportunity to assess our
opposition for the Busa indoors, our own form and also a
good chance to skip a few boring lectures. Oh yeah it is
FREE by the way so there is no weiner excususes like "my
shitty student loan hasn't come through and i haven't got
the funds available" which seems to be a common one. 
Talking of money i still havent recieved £20 cheques for
the busa indoors from the individuals who put their names
down, don't think i have forgotten about you so get the
money to me asap (that means as soon as possible!).

ps due to request i am willing to order some more jackets.
Currently i have got sophie and paul who are interested. 
Cost is £28.20p made payable to suu apu, if anyone is
interested please let me know your size and get the money
to me by wednesday.

cheers
