Dear Club Members
The annual Christmas relays were held at Lennox Gardens yesterday afternoon in perfect conditions. Lots of runners arrived to participate in the relays. There were 22 teams made up of runners of all standards from the elite runners to recreation runners. It was good to see a number of triathlon & orienteering clubs & government departments and business organizations participating.
There was a very good atmosphere even though this event marked that last event to be conducted by the ACTCCC.
The committee would like to thank members for the support they have provided for the committee during a very difficult period. Our thanks also go to those members who have assisted with events, particularly the event managers, and those who have provided support by accepting responsibility for very important activities and functions (trophy management, Canberra Runner editors, Canberra Runner distribution, IP & web assistance, results recording, training group coordinators & mentors),
As you are aware a liquidator from RSM Bird Cameron has been appointed to wind up the club. This work is well underway with the emphasis at the moment being on the financial component of the wind up. We have been advised that as an entity the ACTCCC will still be in existence for another four or so months.
The new club (Y Canberra Running Club) is now in place and will be able to accept membership for the 2011 year very soon. A notice about membership will be on the website (www.canberrarunner.com.au). We encourage all members to join before the end of the year.
Finally we would like to wish you good running and we hope that you have a happy and peaceful Christmas.
