The email below was sent to the club by the Charity Mind in recognition for the £5,000 the club raised last year.

Believe it or not we’re still collecting funds from the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon, and will be sending out acknowledgement letters and certificates to the whole team once we can update you on the grand total!

We’re ever so grateful that you’ve managed to raise such an incredible amount, and that everyone at Hedge End got behind the cause so enthusiastically. We’re so grateful to everyone who was involved and for all of your fundraising and running efforts, and it’s really brilliant to hear that as a result of your efforts, important awareness has been raised amongst your members. It’s so important that people know they can get support, when and if they need it.

You should indeed be very proud, and I’m so glad to hear that it was an enjoyable experience for all involved. We’ll make sure we send you an overall team certificate as well as individual certificates too as soon as we have our grand total.

Thanks so much again Cliff, for everything you’ve done to co-ordinate such a successful fundraising campaign – it’s hugely appreciated.

Best wishes,
Rachael

Dear Members

We have now opened up subscriptions that are due for the period 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015.
The objective of opening up the subs early is for those members that want to get their England Athletics competition license. The membership fee for existing First Claim members will be £25 for the period from 01/04/14 to 31/03/2015, however anyone renewing their HERC membership now will also get their EA license from now round to the 31st of March 2015. The cost of the EA license is included in the annual subs. For Second Claim members, the annual subs will be £20.
Once you have your EA License you will be able to enter races at the discounted rate (saving £2 per race), so over a year anyone entering more than 5 races will save money.
There will continue to be a joining fee in addition of £10 for new members.
