THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES --
JOE HOURIGAN MEMORIAL - MIDLETON AC'5' MILE RACE
THURSDAY WEEK - MAY 5TH - 8PM
MEETING THIS WEDNESDAY 9PM AT O'MEARA'S BAR, BALLINACURRA
ALL COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND HELPERS URGED TO ATTEND
Midleton AC will be in the shop window on THURSDAY WEEK as our club proudly hosts the 28th running of our 5 mile Road Race. Much has changed since the inaugural running of the fixture the mid eighties and whilst the calendar is now practically packed with races across the county the Midleton AC race is still recognised as one of the outstanding fixtures of the summer.
It’s up to all of us to maintain the high standards which have been reached. A new course 2 years ago brought a fresh look to the entire event and many athletes left the venue with lavish words of the praise for the new route. Much planning and work is required to ensure that everything moves smoothly and whilst running the risk of singing from the same hymn sheet too often, it is again worth stating that everybody in our club has a role to play before and on the day of the race.
Here is a reminder of what you can do –
* Encourage your friends, your work colleagues and your extended family to participate on Thursday week. We increased our entry to 329 last year, this year we want to keep the upward spiral going.
If you fail to recruit runners there are many more ways to lend a hand.
* Edmond O’Sullivan is co-ordinating stewarding for the race. Is there somebody you know that can spare some time to help us on the night – a family member, friend or work colleague? If so please send text to Edmond with details -086-8323267
* We will also have a draw for spot prizes on the night of the race – if you can acquire any prizes please bring them to this week's meeting or on race night.
* Finally, Midleton AC has developed a reputation for the best after race food in the county. As usual we would ask each of our club members to bring a plate of sandwiches or some cakes if possible.
Thanking You
John Cashman
