URGENT!
FRIDAY TRAINING
Please note that Friday training for Groups 1 & 2, will be from 6.30 – 7.45pm this week not 7 - 8.30pm to allow people a chance to get to the Wicklow Star Awards afterwards at the Tennis Club. We hope to see lots of GAC athletes and freinds there supporting our winners! All Group 1 Fri sessions are now back at the track.
Our Sunday run is in Djouce this week. Meet at the first carpark about 8.45, ready to run for 9pm sharp. Please make a big effort to get there, as this is a crucial part of the training week!
SPORTSHALL
Our Sportshall competition will take place on this Sun 13th Jan in the Community Hall at Shoreline swimming pool from 2.30-5.30pm. As this is a team competition, athletes must be available for the entire event. Open to all athletes up to U15 in 2013 (born 1999 or after). Teams will be made up on the day! Please arrive on time as once the teams have been made up we will not be able to include late comers and we don’t want to disappoint anyone! Lots of help will be needed for this one, so if you are available, please let us know asap. Help from our older athletes is invaluable for this event, so please let us know if you can come along and help.

We will only be taking registrations on Tues Jan 15th from 5 - 8.30pm, Wed Jan 16th from 6-7pm only and Fri Jan 18th  from 6.00 – 8.00pm.
