Changing:
Changing, toilets and showers are provide by kind permission of
Langley park School for Boys. Langley Park Boys School are in
the process of undertaking a massive rebuilding programme of
their main school buildings so there is the possibility of some
disruption on race day. The following extract from the schools
website gives an indication as the extent of their rebuilding
project:
‘In
broad terms, the phases of the project are as follows: Phase I,
construction of the new main building, will take place between
April 2010 and Autumn 2011. Phase II, demolition of most of the
old buildings, refurbishment of the Phythian and Raeburn
buildings, and construction of the new Sports Hall will take
place between Spring and Summer 2012. Phase III, demolition of
the last of the old buildings and completion of the landscaping
works, will take place in Autumn 2012. It may seem early but
planning is already under way to ensure the handover of the
buildings to the School is as smooth and co-ordinated as
possible and, again, that impact on students’ education is
minimised.’
Whilst we will do everything we
can to ensure this has the minimum of effect on the facilities
available, we cannot guarantee that the regular changing,
showering and refreshment facilities will be available.
The reconstruction work should
have no effect on the course so will not effect the chance to
run that PB time you want to achieve….
