Position Title: Chiltern Harriers AC Coaching Coordinator

About Us
Chiltern Harriers AC is a Club of some 400 members – junior and senior - whose vision is to be the standout running club in the Chilterns. We cater for athletes who enjoy the competitive aspects of the sport, and also those who just want to run for pleasure and to keep fit.  We also have a number of social and associate members. We organise a variety of training runs, which take us all over the Chiltern countryside. All our members benefit from belonging to a club and being able to run with people of like ability.

Dear Chiltern Harriers members,

Volunteers are welcome to assist either with:

• Saturday – event set-up
• Sunday – supporting the smooth running of the meet

Let's get ready to celebrate!

Happy Mother’s Day, Harriers. I hope you enjoyed the sun when it appeared this weekend. But before we get on to this weekend, let’s hark back to the last one. The Moss duo took on the legendary Grizzly in Seaton, Devon. Braving bogs, hills and 20 miles, both Richard and Sylvia came home in 4.20.29. Bravo!
​
Also a shout-out and an apology to James Hudson, who I missed from last week’s results from the Amersham Ultra. James finished a very impressive 6th place in a time of 4.11.59.

Date: 16th December 

Time: 8:15 (you can come straight from training!)

Venue: Lebanese Village Chesham
​
Price: £30.80 (includes hot and cold starters, main with a meat and veggie or vegan option and Baklava for dessert, as well as service charge and 5% off drinks)

The club is eligible for an allocation of places each year for the London Marathon. This year it is two places. This is based on the number of our members who hold an EA Competition Licence.

The Club committee has the discretion in the allocation of these places. In exercise of that discretion the committee will consider the following criteria:

We want to know what information you find it valuable to receive from Chiltern Harriers AC, and how you want to receive it.

Following my FB posts last week and the brief discussions collectively and individually on Tuesday of last week, I  met again with Hawkinsport (HS) to clarify a range of issues.

I can now summarise the position;

Hoodies; The latest delivery are in Light Emerald and although the views were mixed, having seen an actual sample the view was to stick to the original colour going forward. HS are therefore offering these new versions at a discount of 50%. The original-coloured hoodies will remain at the previous price.

Crop tops; The new version with now have a lighter mesh material back panel. The remaining stock of the old version will be a offered at a discount of 20%

Short sleeve T shirts; The new stock is lighter and with fewer seams. The lady’s version is in stock and the men’s version is on order. All old stock will be offered at a 25% discount

Long sleeve T shirts; these remain unchanged at present but new stock in due course will be the same material but with changed design to reduce the number of seams. Old stock will be offered with a 25% discount.

Mens vests; the new men’s vest is in stock in a lighter vest material - my apologies to those I showed one to on Tuesday. I was given the wrong sample.
​The lady’s lighter version will be phased in later this year. The old stock for both men and ladies will be reduced by 20%.

The Jacket remains unchanged.
