Busy Period Ahead For Valley Athletes

The 2007/2008 athletics season planning is complete and with all elements returning to training and the sessions Tuesday and Thursday 7.30 and Sunday morning 10.30, it's that time of year again, back to school, back to the routine of training.

The club will host a number of autumn cross-country meetings beginning with the schools (primary) October 2nd, the secondary schools on October 3rd and the Ulster championships on November 11th, in addition to the Donegal Senior event. Newcomers are always welcome from age seven upwards.

A full recreation programme in addition to athletics, for the centre will be released this week. Club committee meeting this Thursday 8.45, so it's all hands on deck as the new challenge of a new season begins. Recently Clive Heapes and Brendan Alexander attended a two day coaching session in Birmingham while Shauna Guthrie completed in a walk event last weekend in England her first attempt at 5k and fared well.

Best wishes to those club members on beginning third level courses and to those beginning the secondary stage of their education.

Sympathy

Sympathy is extended to former Club member Eamon Mc Gonagle on the death of his daughter Leona. May she rest in peace.
