Can I make a plea on behalf of a mate of mine who has organised a 5 mile race round watermead on 14th July. He is the president of Syston Lions/Rotary/Round Table (sorry forget just which) and they came to me and Bob a few months ago for advice on how to organise a charity run. I told them what I know and Bob advised on licences, measurement and riles etc. Have to say they have got on with it and thos e of you who went to Desford will have got a flyer under the windscreen.
Its in aid of local charities and a fund for a chap who broke his neck at Birstall RFC. HOWEVER at last count there were only a few entries and they were talking about cancelling.
I am planning on entering tomorrow along with my brood. At least a dozen of us are down at Watermead on wednesdays anyway so why not join in -it would be a shame to waste the preparation.
A good Birstall turnout could be the difference between go ahead or being cancelled. - Dave Snutch
