London Marathon |
London Marathon
26th April 2009
We will once again be arranging travel and accommodation for
those lucky enough to be taking part in the London Marathon
on 26th April. We will be staying in the Premier Inn at London
Euston and have a block booking of twin rooms available.
The cost is expected to be around £130 per room (£65 for those
sharing) per night. We have rooms booked for both Friday 24th
April and Saturday 25th April so if you are interested please
contact me on 07976 745938, email me or speak to me at the
Christmas Handicap. Please let me know if you want to book
both nights or just Saturday.
Whilst the Premier Inn is ideally located and is good value
for central London, some runners may prefer a 'credit crunch'
alternative. Joanne Wilson and Tracey Peters stayed at the
Passfield Hall, near Euston, last year and can recommend it
as a good cheaper alternative. Joanne can give you more information
if you are interested and she can tell you how to make a booking.

welcome
Nick Sinclair will again be arranging rail travel for those
that want to travel with the group - further details will
follow. Mark Ashby

ICE Campaign |
In
Case of
Emergency
We all carry our mobile phones with names
& numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves,
knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family
or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill,
the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't
know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored
but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?
Hence this " ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign
The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method
of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are
carried by the majority of the population, all you need to
do is store the number of a contact person or persons who
should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE"
( In Case Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when
he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile
phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to
call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if
there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In
an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital
staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by
simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE".
It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind
at rest . For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1,
ICE2 and ICE3, etc.
A great idea that will make a difference!

Children's
spikes |
What do you do with cross country and
track spikes that you've grown out of?
Are they lying at the bottom of the wardrobe?
Why not give someone else the benefit of them? At cross country
and track meetings there are always some runners who forget
their spikes or maybe it is their first outing and they don't
have spikes yet. I would like to build up a small stock to
lend out so if you have some old ones tucked away please pass
them on to me - Ron Scott. Thanks.

Problems
accessing this site? |
ADVICE FOR BLUEYONDER
USERS
Several people in recent weeks have asked
if there was a problem with this site as they couldn't access
it. There was, of course, nothing wrong with either the web
site or the servers it runs on which have up-time of over
99%. With a little detective work, it turned out that all
those having problems have something in common. Their ISP
is BlueYonder.
Blueyonder have themselves suggested a solution
so if you use Blueyonder copy the following just in case!!!
My thanks to Sam Moran for this.
Suggested solution: "You
can try to specify a different cache server to see if your
browsing improves. This can be done in internet explorer.
Click TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS from the main menu. Click CONNECTIONS
> LAN Settings > Put a Tick in use a proxy server. Enter webcache.blueyonder.co.uk
address in the first box and enter the corresponding port
number of 8080."

Photographs
on this web site |
|
STATEMENT
OF PRACTICE ON THE USE OF PHOTOGRAPHS.
|
This web site uses photographs, taken by me or passed
to me by members, parents etc, to add interest to some
of the pages, particularly the news pages. It helps
us to get to know one another and I think helps to improve
knowledge and understanding about the club and its members.
Ideally, I would clear the use of any 'photo with the
athlete or their parents before use but this is neither
practical nor compatible with my aim of getting news
reports published within 24 hours of an event.
If anyone does not want their photograph to appear on
this web site or wants a particular photograph removed
for whatever reason please let me know by e-mail
or telephone 01704 566995

Inhalers |
Do you use an inhaler?
Did you know that
athletes who use an inhaler need to register with the UKA
Medical Officer?
According to IAAF rules, the use of asthma
inhalers Salbutamol (Ventolin), Terbutaline (Bricanyl) and
Salmeterol (Serevent) must be registered with the medical
officer. There are substances in these inhalers that are PROHIBITEDunless
you have prior clearance from the Medical Officer, Dr Brown.
If you need an inhaler for a genuine medical purpose you must
continue to use it, but you must
get clearance from Dr Brown.
The use of corticosteroids by inhaler, eg Becotide,
Pulmicort) does not require prior permission but should, of
course, be declared if you are ever subjected to any doping
control.
Registration needs to be renewed periodically
- and in any event if your prescription changes.
GET REGISTERED NOW.
See Ron Scott for an application form.
