Grand Prix - Nigel Barge

On the basis that the current cold weather is to worsen by the weekend and given the existing state of the roads and pavements in and around Glasgow, I am pulling the Nigel Barge from the Grand Prix. It would be irresponsible to ask the members to risk broken bones for a race and indeed it would not be much of a race given the very cautious approach required to stay on your feet. There are plenty more potential races we can enjoy in the Spring. This view had universal acceptance from those at the club last night but I thought I would wait one more day to see the latest weather forecast. Of course anyone still wishing to do the race irrespective of the conditions is free to do it. Hopefully ground conditions will improve by the Vets Road Relays on the 17th January.

Those who had pre-entered the Nigel Barge should have received the following message from the race organisers confirming that the race is postponed until March 27th:

Nigel Barge race rescheduled for 27 March 2010 due to bad weather

Due to the weather and specifically the poor underfoot conditions the Nigel Barge 10k Memorial Road Race (and associated 3k Junior Race) will not go ahead as advertised this coming Saturday 9th January.

Both events have been postponed, and will instead take place on Saturday 27th March 2010 with the venue still Garscube Sports Complex.

Those who have pre-entered can retain their place for the new date, secure a place in the 2011 race, or alternatively contact Kenny Stevenson for a full refund (ken.stevenson@hendersonloggie.co.uk).
