Hi Team

The 2nd Cross Country Race of the season is on Sunday at the much nearer location of Alice Holt, Farnham.  It would be great to see as many of you as possible there.  Don’t forget it’s not just about the top four ladies and men…it’s all about strength in numbers as well.

As usual this is the race where we have to provide 2 volunteers so if anyone wouldn’t mind helping out and having a lovely morning out at Alice then please let me know so I can pass on the relevant names.

Race instructions can be viewed in the link ALICE HOLT XC INSTRUCTIONS

I look forward to seeing you Sunday.
