Info:
Please see the link below we have a young athlete camp in October half term. There's no charge for the coaching and supporting activities. I can organise accommodation on campus either self catering or with meals; or you can source your own!
Happy for U16 athletes to attend with coach/parental supervision if staying on campus.
Some U18/19/20 athletes eligible for support.

OLYMPIC REUNION
When Saturday 7th July
Where The Tower Thistle Hotel, London, E1W 1LD
Why To pay tribute to Britain's Olympic walkers
On Saturday 7th July the Race Walking Association are to stage a Tribute Luncheon in honour of our Olympic walkers - all of who will be invited and we hope will be able to attend.
The function is open to everyone and provides an opportunity to pay tribute to such worthy athletes. It promises to be a wonderful occasion - indeed it might be our last such occasion for this type of function?
It will be modestly priced and held at The Tower Thistle Hotel, London, overlooking the River Thames and the Tower of London. It has a car park and is within sight of 3 railway / tube stations (Fenchurch Street/Tower Hill/Tower Gateway).
We intend to serve a carvery style luncheon in a room that has a capacity to sit 140 with the aim of reaching 3 figures. The lunch time function provides us all with the opportunity to attend by cheap-day return without the need for an overnight stop. We hope that as many of you will attend for what promises to be a truly memorable occasion.
The cost is only £29.00 and tickets are available from
Pam Ficken, Owl Cottage,101 Meldreth Road, Whaddon, Royston, SG8 5RS
Cheques should be made out to the Race Walking Association.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE CENTURIONS
This is to be held on Saturday 28th January commencing at 1pm in the Union Jack Club, Sandell Street, London SE1 8UJ. Doors open at noon at an establishment which had bars, restaurants, snack counters etc.
A large room has been booked, so a good attendance is sought.
Sandell Street is off the Waterloo Road, by "The Wellington" public house. It's just over a minute's walk fromthe side exit of Waterloo Station. Leave Waterloo Station by the Jubilee Line ticket office into Waterloo Road. Cross straight over and Sandell Street is directly in front of you. The Union Jack Club is the first building on your right in Sandell Street.
Waterloo Station and Waterloo East Station are served by British Rail main line and suburban services.
Waterloo Underground Station is served by the Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern and Waterloo & City Lines. No travel problems are expected this coming weekend.
Buses. There are too many to list. But a useful one is the No.26 which runs from Liverpool Street Station (Bishopgate exit outside "Dirty Dicks") every 10 minutes. It's terminus (no you needn't worry about where to alight) is outside "The Wellington" public house, which is directly opposite the Union jack Club at the corner of Sandell Street and Waterloo Road.
As this is an Armed Forces Club, it'd be appropriate for ex-Service personnel holders of National Service Veterans Badges to wear them on the day.
Also, as an Armed Forces establishment it would assist if members intending to attend could advise the Honorary Secretary of their intention. A list of expected attenders makes entering this establishment much easier. Names please to to flintc@scr-ltd.co.uk This is the same email address for Apologies for Absence.
Thanks - Issued by the Essex Walker Email Service
