Award Shortlisting
Hopefully you all saw our announcement yesterday in our Facebook groups but we’ll repeat it here just in case anyone missed it and because we are VERY proud! Yesterday we received the VERY EXCITING NEWS that we have athletes shortlisted for the West Northumberland Sports Awards in two categories!
Arthur is shortlisted for the YOUNG SPORTS MAN category and our U13 girls team from the NEHL 21-22 Season made up of Phoebe, Meghan, Rebecca, Kelsie, Aoife and Rebecca are shortlisted for the YOUTH TEAM category.
These shortlisted athletes will be acknowledged at the annual Sport Tynedale Awards Evening sponsored by Egger, on Thursday 8th December 2022 at QE High School Hexham. Doors will open at 5.30 pm with the presentations commencing at 6.00 pm. If anyone would like to attend the event in support of our nominees it is a free event but we have to inform the organisers of numbers who want to attend so please could you email info@prudhoeplodders.co.uk with the numbers of seats you would like by 5pm on 26th November. We definitely want our nominees and as many supporters as possible there to celebrate their achievements so don’t be backward in coming forward for seats!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NOMINEES, THE CLUB IS INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU AND ALL YOUR EFFORTS!
A brilliant fundraiser for our club!
Thanks to our amazing Fundraising Officer, Lindsey Lockey we have got a place as part of the current Co-op community funding round. This means that Co-op members can select us (from a selection of local community causes) to receive funding each time they buy selected Co‑op branded products and services (2p for every pound spent goes to the community organisation that the member selects). If you are already a Co-op member you can access their app or sign in on their website to select us as your community organisation and if you are not a member it is seriously worth considering joining it only costs you £1 and as well as sending funding our way you will earn yourself some money off. This link https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes/70444 will allow you to see how much we have raised so far and can also be sent to Co-op members across the country for them to select us as their chosen cause so send it off to friends and family near and far to encourage them to send their funds our way over the next year!
And finally … London Marathon places
Due to our adult member numbers this year we have applied to EA for TWO marathon places. We will have confirmation of these numbers by the end of November. Following this we will draw our ballot and the selected runners have to complete and pay for their entries by 16:00 on Tuesday 20 December. In order for us to be prepared to draw our runners and give them plenty of notice to complete and pay for their entries we would like to be prepared. So, in order to be entered into our club ballot you need to send proof of your rejection from the original London Marathon ballot to info@prudhoeplodders.co.uk doing this will enter your name into our club draw. We need to receive your rejection email by 1700 on Wednesday 30th November 2022.
Onwards, upwards and plod on!
