Subsidised events mean that Donadea Running Club will contribute to the event, reducing your costs, giving you good value for your membership.

 

Running Club Committee Meetings are available to any member who is a part of the member committee to attend or if you have been elected as Secretary, Treasurer or Chairman.  At the AGM on 27th March 2010 a members committee will be elected and the roles will also be filled for Secretary, Treasurer & Chairman.  If you want to put your name forward for any role or to be a part of the members committee, please do so before the 28th February 2010.  If you do not want to be part of the committee and want to put a suggestion forward to be discussed at any of the meetings please contact one of the committee members.

 

The last Saturday of the month club! Is a new club activity for 2010, to see your times improve each month and check whether you are training hard enough every Tuesday night!!. The race distance is 5.7KM in the forest and the results will be recorded at the end of each month.  The results will also go towards the most improved member of the year award presented at the Annual Achill awards dinner in July.

 

Donadea 10K 2010 leaflet drops will start at races from June 2010 to September 2010 all members will be asked to help leaflet drop at races they attend to help with the continued success of the Donadea Forest 10K charity race.  Leaflets will always be available to collect from St Kevins at training from June.  If you want to be part of the Donadea Forest 10K committee, please attend the 1st Meeting on 6th April 2010.

 

* Members Help To make each running and social event enjoyable and memorable, members are asked to help with the coordination of an event they are attending.  This involves letting members know whether car pooling is available, what accommodation is being booked for the event and bookings a restaurants for after the event.  This helps all new and existing members feel part of the club and makes it more enjoyable for all.  If you are willing to coordinate the above mentioned at an event you are going to, please let Jo know on 0872991560.

 

Race Event Volunteers Required In 2010, Jo Cawley (Chairman) is taking the responsibility to stage the 1st Kildare Marathon on 9th May 2010.  It will start with a half marathon and will continue to the full marathon in 2011.  Jo has also just confirmed and secured The Cliffs of Moher Marathon in County Clare which will take place on 2nd October 2010.  The Cliffs will start with a half marathon in 2010 and continue the following year with a full marathon 2011.  If you want to be a volunteer at these events please contact Jo on 0872991560 and she will discuss the events volunteer package with you.
