On Boxing Day, 26th December, there will be an informal run of approx 4 miles from the club starting at 10.00am. The Wheaton Aston 10K takes place at 11.00am on Tuesday 27th December; unfortunately there are no on-the-day entries. Anyone that wants to meet up for an informal run from the club that evening is most welcome, the Stick & Wicket will be open from lunchtime onwards. On Sunday 1st January we will be having a ‘Hangover Run’ of approx 6 mile, starting from the club at 11.00am. Tuesday Club nights will resume as normal on Tuesday 3rd January. ARC Membership At the Annual General Meeting in September it was agreed that subs for next year would remain unchanged, the costs for 2012 are therefore:- Single - £36 (£24 S&W + £12 ARC) Couple - £54 (£30 S&W + £24 ARC) Members of pensionable age:- Single - £24 (£12 S&W + £12 ARC) Couple - £39 (£15 S&W + £24 ARC) The 50p weekly subs will also remain the same; there is an option of a one-off payment of £20 available to anyone who would prefer not to have to pay the 50p subs each week. Your co-operation in paying the annual subs at the earliest opportunity would be most appreciated.

Message from Rachel, As you are probably all aware the Cross Country season starts on Saturday 12thNovember. The venue for the first race is Newbold Comyn at Leamington. The womens race starts at 1.45pm followed by the men's race. ARC vests need to be worn (I have a couple of spare if anyone needs one)and depending on terrain and pre-race weather, spikes or trail shoes are preferable but trainers can be worn if conditions are not too muddy! We will travel together in a convoy of shared cars and due to the race being in Leamington and allowing time for finding the venue and registering the team I suggest we leave the Stick and Wicket Club at 11.30am. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, malt loaf/cakes/doughnuts will be awaiting runners at the finish line!!
Best of the vest 2012 Chris & Tracy lose their shirts. in Los Vegas.
Message from Chris, After 18 years, Geoff Card has decided to call time on his role as captain of the men’s cross-country team and pass on the mantle to a younger man (his words not mine!); I’m pleased to inform you that that Simon Hudson has agreed to take on the role. We are most grateful to Geoff for all he has done to cajole men to turn out and represent Aldridge Running Club on Saturday afternoon over many winters and the camaraderie he has instilled. We wish him all the best as he recovers from heart bypass surgery and look forward to seeing him back at the Stick & Wicket soon. Simon himself is a cross-country veteran who has supported the team and acted as chauffeur over many years, even during times when he was not able to run himself; he is an ideal successor to Geoff and our thanks go to him for agreeing to take over as captain. A reminder that the men’s & ladies' cross-country leagues start next Saturday afternoon at Leamington; please speak to Simon or Rachel for further details. Tony Jones It was the wish of Tony Jones’ family that donations, in lieu of flowers, be sent to The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds; I can confirm that Aldridge Running Club has made a donation of £250 to the RSPB in Tony’s memory

Hi Everyone Just thought I would let you know that I had a text from Becky Cunnane this morning saying the following (her words, not mine) Our beautiful baby boy Frankie Thomas was born 6/4/11 at 2.50am weighing 7lb 1.1/2. We are doing great and yes I ran 3 mile last night - in hospital 4 hours later. On behalf of ARC I would like to send them our very best wishes. Mel x
Message from Action Heart Do you have a place in the 2012 Virgin London Marathon? If so you may be interested in our Weekend Package for runners and spectators. I know most of you have travelled with us before . Please find attached full details of this year’s package along with official booking form. If you are interested and require more details please do not hesitate to let me know. (I will remind you that you do not need to be raising money for our charity to come down with us)
