Winter Season 2006/7

The winter season is fast approaching with the South of England Road Relays to be held on Sunday 24th September at Aldershot. As athletic events in the winter face strong competition from other popular winter sports, attached is a form for you to use to confirm your availability during the winter season. Please complete both copies of the form confirming your availability. One copy should be either handed to me at Norman Park or posted to my home address at the end of this letter at your earliest convenience. The other copy of the form should be retained by you so that you and your parents know to which meetings you have committed yourself.

Should you not return the availability form then your selection for the events listed cannot be considered.

We will assume that you are available for selection if you have so indicated on this form, so it is vital that you advise us at the earliest opportunity should your circumstances alter.

Please check the Club's website www.bandbhac.org.uk  for updates, team selection, venue details and travel arrangements.

The Club kit is sponsored by Nike. Members may purchase a club vest from Margaret Baldwin (moo.b@tiscali.co.uk ) on 01825 768193.
