Sunshiiiine   Phew, what a scorcher! The currant bun is out and all is good. Be careful to wear lotion when out on those long runs and hydrate properly.   Volunteers needed for Spring beginners   Spring beginners will start on Tuesday April 5th and led by Romany O'Dell (thanks Romany!)     We'll have a full house of 20 beginners of mixed running experience, so we will need 4 additional volunteers every Tuesday to support Romany.  All beginners volunteering slots are in the calendar, starting 5th April and finishing 24th May.    This is a brilliant opportunity to motivate new runners - no one ever regrets volunteering with beginners!   Club Handicap reminder – volunteers needed   The place to be on 21st April is Highgate Woods for the Chasers club handicap race. We'll need marshals and timers, so if you are planning to be injured please do volunteer.   To get a handicap you will need to have completed at least one race and recorded the result on our website. Our website does a decent job of automatically finding your race results on The Power of 10 and uploading them for you. If you are a new member you might need to help our website out by telling it your ID number for the Power of 10 (assuming your results are on it) or by uploading results manually.   Once you have results on our website, it will choose a handicap for you. If you visit your personal results page on our website and scroll to the bottom you will see your handicap written as a race time in Highgate Woods. This is how we will figure out the start order.   If you have never run a race or if you want to run with a different handicap to your official handicap you can do so. Just let us know in the comments below what you thnk your handicap should be, and if it makes you feel better you can tell us what your excuse is. However unless you accept your handicap as-is or choose to make it harder you will not be eligible for any prizes.   We will produce a detailed schedule nearer the time, but we expect that the first runner will be asked to set off at about 19:00.   What races are you doing this Spring?   It's Spring racing season! Who are we cheering for? We love to celebrate your races, let us know what you're doing here in the comments and we'll send you MC good luck. I know a few of you are entered into Paris and Manchester Marathon in the next couple of weeks for example.   Tea Rota   Tuesday night tea and biscuits are back! If you can, volunteer by adding yourself to the rota here   Veterans 5k   A few of us are racing this 5 km in Battersea Park. It's for masters athletes only (35yrs+). Come and join on 5th April.
