Tuesday’s sessions continue the theme of faster-paced work with longer recovery periods.

1. Our monthly visit to Thornwell for four loops with drills and speedplay down the Link Road.

2. Or 4 X 4 minutes on the S Bridge with a long recovery between each. The faster members of each group should turn back during the jog recovery  to regroup with the back-markers.

On Thursday we’re extending the Tour of the Town to include a detour into Tutshill across the old Wye Bridge.   Or there’s the usual 20 mins out/20 mins back along the Link Rd and the S Bridge.   And I daresay the off-roaders will be ready with torches and grippy shoes.

All hands to the pumps (whatever that may mean) on Sunday when the LCL cross-country in Piercefield Park is also the second Club Championships race. Starts at 11 in the middle of the park so allow plenty of time to get there from the LC. Make sure you wear your number – see Syd if you don’t have one.  Rich and Stuart are setting up the course (more help welcome), but all Harriers are needed to take down the tape afterwards.Then we need to get changed and into the bar to host our home-made cake party. Please get baking on Saturday  - there’ll be lots of hungry mouths to feed!piercefield-xc-course-210210.pdf

We are looking for great posters to advertise our open races, the first being the Offa’s Orror.

They need to be eye catching; encouraging and provide the essential details of the event.

You can find all the relevant details of the Offa’s Orror Event on the web page http://www.chepstowharriers.org.uk/offa.htm

We hope to print a number to put up at the leisure centre in Chepstow & Monmouth and at any other suitable places in the area.

Whilst it would be good to have them in digital form (scanned or similar) paper cut and paste is fine.

A suitable Easter themed prize will be awarded so come on all you budding artists and get busy.

Feel free to use any of the pictures from previous events – again see the above web page.

Send the submissions to communications@chepstowharriers.org.uk or give them to a committee member on club nights.

With Offa’s Orror coming quite soon please get the entries in by the end of February.

Competition is open to all, so get the family involved!

Bonus prizes for a poster for the Rose Inn series!
