It's that time of year again when you need to start preparing for the highlight of the season which brings organised chaos to the outskirts of Nottingham.
For those that are new to the club or haven't done this before, details can be found here:
The organiser has changed the format this year. The format is now that all Mixed, Female and Junior teams race on the Saturday and all Male teams race on the Sunday. As a club, we usually aim to make the day a big social occasion for members and their families so in order to do the same this year, we have decided to only enter Mixed teams (and therefore for the majority, we intend to only be there on the Saturday).
As per previous years, you can either enter yourself as an individual and we will put you into a team or you can put together a team of your own by using the booking system as normal (see details below) and then letting us know who is in your team. If anyone wishes to enter a Male team for the Sunday or indeed a full female team on the Saturday, they can do so and will only be charged the same subsidised rate as everyone else. You will need to do this quickly though because as it stands, we have not entered any male or female teams and they may sell out.
The details you need to know:
Date: Saturday 27th August 2011
Location: Holme Pierrepoint, Nottingham
Cost: £10 plus £5 day licence
We are trialling a new way of booking onto the Relays this year to try and minimise the registration nightmare that team captain's usually endure on the day. We will be using the club booking system and ALL members wishing to race will need to pay the subsidised £10 entry fee PLUS the £5 day licence charge. If you are a BTA member, please enter your BTA number in the "Comments" box and you will be refunded £5 on production of your race licence on the day of the race.
We have currently entered 10 teams, so 40 places are available. We should be able to increase this if necessary.
This represents excellent value for money and is a good, enjoyable day out.
