Hi everybody,
Just a few club notices, followed by details of next week’s training further down the email.
Pre-loved running kit wanted! ANewcastle school has reached out to Tyne Bridge Harriers to ask if we can help with providing pre-loved running kit and trainers to disadvantaged children. The PE teacher has set up a running club & they desperately need kit & trainers for ages 12-16. If you have any good quality kit/trainers that you would like to donate please bring it along to junior training this Wednesday, 26 March.
Sign up for the Good Friday Relays 18 April (Newburn Riverside). If your junior wants to compete in what is a regular and fun fixture in the running calendar, contact Coach Paul O’Mara. Further information here: Good Friday Relays 18th April 2025: Race licence: TBC – Elswick Harriers
