ARC

Hi Team,
So last week we had a meeting to discuss ARC. If you are wanting to attend then you need to have gotten yourself into a group of two or four. You need to go into the girls high office and pick up a letter, and get it back to girls high by the end of the week (this is for boys and girls), if you have not returned your forms and money to the girls high office by the 4th of feb, then you will not be able to come. Also you need to be realistic, if you have not kept up any running over the holidays then you will not enjoy this event as it can be anywhere between 6-12 hours long.
I am out at camp all week, however I still have cell phone reception so please give me a call if you need something. You should be checking the ARC website and reading through all the information. I will do all the entries for you.

Hi All,
So if we could meet at WGHS gym at 5.30 on Monday night, then that would be great. If you can't make it then please give me a call, sooner rather than later.

New Year Events!

Hey Guys and Gals,
Happy new year and all that jazz, I hope that you have been taking care of yourselves. Look we really need to get together at the beginning of next week to discuss a few of the up and coming events and training's that we have planned in the next month.
I am thinking that it will have to be after work, so maybe 5pm on either Monday or Tuesday night. It would be good to have your parents there. This is for all Adventure Racers who are keen to go to ARC, which is on the 16th and 17th of February  You need to have kept up your fitness over the holidays, otherwise it will be too hard.
I will post tomorrow as to the venue and day.

Seniors you will be finding out about the training at National Park so you really need to be there.
