Hello Chasers,

Firstly thank you to everybody who volunteered to marshal this Sunday’s Regents Park 10k. We are still short of marshals for the last race of the series on the 4th March 2012. If you are able to help out please e-mail: kirstyhood@gmail.com

With the temperature’s practically Baltic this week; it’s essential to wrap up warm. A number of Chasers noticed Patrick Gilmore’s fetchingly knitted Chaser hat in the famous white, orange and green. On enquiry (I’m nosey in that way) Patrick revealed his aunt had hand knitted the hat and would be willing to knit more for our members. For Patrick’s aunts troubles all she would ask would be a £5 donation to her chosen charity. Please e-mail Patrick for your more details: patrickgilmore@hotmail.com

We have now entered two teams into the 1066 Relay on the 6th May. We still need more team members to take part, so please e-mail me if you’re interested in taking part; darenm@dialacab.co.uk

Whilst on the subject of relays Camilla is looking to enter a team/s into a trail relay in Western France. Camilla took part in the race last year in the glorious French countryside. The race will take place on 14th April 2012 (more details below).

Fellow Chaser Mauricio has informed me that the Asics Tuffman Trail race is entry on the day tomorrow. http://www.humanrace.co.uk/2012-asics-tuffman-race-information
Mauricio is offering a lift to the race for anybody who would like to take part e-mail: msaldias72@yahoo.com

And finally big thanks to Ruth Ashton and Derek Smith for helping out with the tea last week at short notice.

My Tea Star for this week is Katie Redmond.
