Kids with Nick Willis

Nick Willis
signing posters
It was great to see so many kids at Newtown Park to meet Nick and join in with the club day. The weather couldn’t have been better in the end (the seniors didn’t get that luxury in the afternoon as it turned to custard) so we were very lucky.
While our normal clubday format of running events in age bands proved not to have been the ideal way to run the events given the numbers that were there, feedback was positive. Please thank your members for attending and bearing with our flexible timing and order of events. There are also some great photo’s from the morning on Rowan Grieg’s website which your members might also be interested in:
Kind regards

Lots of Olympic athletes in here! Well done all of you!
The 2008 Inter-Provincial Primary and Secondary Schools Cross-Country was held at Harcourt Park, Upper Hutt, on Thursday 25 September, in gorgeously sunny and calm conditions.
The event was contested by teams from Wellington, Canterbury, Tasman (Nelson & Marlborough), Wanganui, Horowhenua and Wairarapa/Bush.
Competition was for the “Phil Costley Shield” donated 4 years ago by one of New Zealand’s most prominent cross-country, distance and marathon champions.
The trophy was won by Wellington (off Canterbury) last year, and this year the two rival teams shared victory with each winning 4 teams races and coming second in the other 4. (Each Province is only allowed to score 1 team)
Tasman were 3rd and Wanganui 4th.
