Mick and Tony's arms have been twisted and the 26th Sportsworld Classic 5 mile is going ahead again in 2010. There is more and more competition between clubs to hold race events so this year we are getting a race committee together to work with Mick and Tony to increase the numbers doing the race and ensure The Classic is as popular as ever with clubs and fun runners. We are looking for around 5 individuals to step forward to be on the race committee and take some of the responsbility of getting parts of the race organisation done (Unpaid and unthanked job). Secondly we are looking for all club members to put forward their suggestions on any improvements that can be made to the race or if there was something in a Meet & Train race they did, IMRA race, BHAA race that made the race special or bearable we need to know. Also we have 200 club members in the club including sales people, solicitors, engineers, accountants who we need to take advantage of. So if you have contacts in companies who might be able to give free stuff or sponsorship, if your used to cold calling companies or selling the idea of sponsoring the race, if you work in a large company where one or two race posters could attract a large number of runners, or maybe you know a friend of a friends hair dresser who knows someone famous who could run the race to raise the race profile, Brian Cowen or Pat(Enda?) Kenny might not be welcome. There is a comment section below or just talk to Michael Cunningham or Paul O'Connell at the club if volunteering or giving ideas and suggestions.
Being modest as ever, the club committee has asked Michael Cunningham to be the Race Director for the 2010 Classic. The club christmas party will be held on saturday 12th of December, so keep the date free, details will follow soon. P O'C.
