It was brought to our attention that with all the flooding in and around Carlisle and with Calderglen Harriers having a long standing association with Border Harriers and their Brampton to Carlisle race that we should get in touch. Below is the correspondence.
Richard,
I am writing to you having seen the devastation in Carlisle and the surrounding area caused by the recent storms. Calderglen Harriers have been participating in the Brampton to Carlisle race for many years and we enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the race and the warm welcome we receive each year. I wanted to express the concern felt by our club for your members and their families many of whom will have been affected by the terrible flooding in Carlisle and the Borders. Please accept our best wishes to all at Borders Harriers and know that you have our support during what must be a difficult time.
Kenny Leinster
President Calderglen Harriers
Kenny,
Your concern and best wishes are much appreciated. After £39m having been spent on defence works in Carlisle since 2005 it came as a huge shock. One of our Committee members has been flooded out of her home for the second time and there are sure to have been other members affected.
Eden Bridge - next to the race finish - remains closed pending structural assessment and we anxiously await news of the Sheepmount track, which lifted last time.
Thanks again,
Richard
