XCR08 Season @ Collingwood
| The 2008 Winter season is upon us! We are very excited at being the first Club ever to have a team in every one of the seven divisions available for competition. This, together with our promotion to Division 1 of the women's competition, shows that we must be doing something right! However we need more runners - badly. We have probably lost three of our leading team from last year, which with the need to find an extra five for the new Divvy 3 team obviously leaves a little light on! Justin Murphy and Cameron and Mark Kealy who have run with us during the past few winter seasons are attempting to resurrect their club, DeLaSalle, By building up a winter squad. We all wish them the best of luck. I know that if it were Collingwood in a similar position, there woul be a number of us fighting tooth and nail to ensure our survival too. Top junior, Julian Harris, has decided to have a go in a different environment while very promising first year (2007) runner Mick Woods, is having ongoing injury problems. The women's team has not escaped unscathered either with top junior, Sarah Grahame, gaining a scholarship to study and run in the States. Do you know anybody who may be interested? Yes, we need quality runners but we also need numbers as well. Speed id not essential, (however desirable!). A pulse and a ability to run forwards is all that is needed. Those of you who have been with us for some time know the benefits of being a Collingwood Harrier: a friendly and supportive atmosphere, terrific Club fixtures and facilities second to none in Victoria, (if not the world!!). Apart from the need for senior runners the Club wishes to really build up our numbers in all age groups of the juniors. Again, do you know anyone who may be interested? Please do not hesitate to give me a call if you think a personal contact from someone at the Club, other than yourself, may help get a name on the dotted line! And of course we want you back! The first Club race is the traditional '4 Mile' on Saturday April 5th. There will be a 2k run for juniors at 2:00 p.m. followed by the senior handicap. At the conclusion of the running the trophies for the 2007 winter season will be announced and presented. Hope to see you and a stack of friends on the 5th.
