**PARENTS AND GUARDIANS (BRIEF) MEETING**: after Wednesday Training 9 July (at the field): All parents and guardians are invited to a short meeting to discuss how the junior club will run for the coming year. Please make every effort to attend. The meeting will be with members of the junior committee and the coaches. We anticipate it taking no more than 10 minutes. Juniors may stay and listen.
WEDNESDAY TRAINING IS NOW AT THE FIELD. A reminder that Wednesday training, including drop off and pick up, will be at the field for the rest of the school term. Details of location and drop off / pick up arrangements are in the training section below. Please note there is NO parking in Abbotsford Road.
ATHLETICS – REGISTER YOUR ATHLETE’S EVENTS *BY 15 JULY* AND VOLUNTEER TO HELP OUT (PLEASE!). Parents and guardians of juniors competing in the final NEYDL athletics event (Sunday 20 July at Whitley Bay) must email Kirsteen Kilgour with details of the events your junior wants to do by Tuesday 15th July As Tyne Bridge Harriers is hosting this event we must have parent / guardian volunteers on the day to help out – no experience is needed (having been the volunteer event ‘announcer’ previously I can vouch for that!). To register your junior and to volunteer, email Kirsteen at: juniors@tynebridgeharriers.com
