VOTE FOR Daily Record Young Athlete of the Year - Callum Hawkins
Callum has been nominated for this award again this year and we think the voting slip will be in tomorrows Daily Record. Since the award is presented at Kelvin Hall next week it's a fair bet it will be in tomorrows paper and it would be good if members could buy the Record and vote for Callum. It would be great if he could win it again this year.
Thanks

The continuing severe winter conditions means that, regrettably, we have to cancel the club relay planned for tomorrow Sunday 10th January 2010 .. However, Sunday cross country run will still be on. Last week there were ten out for a shorter run so that could be a good option.
Watch out for further news about the Donald Crawford 11miler which is planned for next Sunday 17th January 2010.

Nigel Barge 10k Saturday 9th January 2010 postponed ...
Email from Race organisers: Due to the weather and specifically the poor underfoot conditions the Nigel Barge 10k Memorial Road Race (and associated 3k Junior Race) will not go ahead as advertised this coming Saturday 9th January.
Both events have been postponed, and will instead take place on Saturday 27th March 2010 with the venue still Garscube Sports Complex. Those who have pre-entered can retain their place for the new date, secure a place in the 2011 race, or alternatively contact Kenny Stevenson for a full refund (ken.stevenson@hendersonloggie.co.uk).
Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Further details are available at www.maryhillharriers.com.

Sorry, but yet again we have to cancel the Christmas relays scheduled for tomorrow (Monday 4th January 2010)
The course is still too dangerous ..
We are saying provisionally to re schedule for next Sunday, ie 10th January 2010, 1pm ..
Also re the Donald Crawford Cup & ballot team race possible date Sunday 17th January 2010 ..
Re training .. Elderslie Baths back to normal tomorrow Monday ..
It looks very unlikely the the track will be open Monday or Tuesday, due to the ice ..
