For your Immediate and Urgent Attention
The Club has just been informed today that work is potentially
set to start on laying down the new Track on Monday August 11th.
Can i stress that this is a provisional date and you should keep a look out for updates on the situation which will be put on the Club Website by going to News & Info and then clicking on Notice Board where the latest up to date information will be available.
This is great news and with the new floodlights in, the arena will look fantastic and provide a great venue for our Training Groups and for our ability to host Competition Fixtures.
But What Does This Mean For Your Training Group in the Short term?

ALL COACHES PLEASE NOTE
If you wish to use the Indoor Track outside of the Harriers exclusive Training periods which are on :
Sunday (11.00 – 1.00pm)
Tuesday (5.30 – 8.00pm)
Wednesday (5.30 – 8.30pm)
