We are happy to announce that there will be some Junior training sessions later on this summer. Oldham Sports Development have agreed to provide someone to lead the sessions if we provide the helpers. The sessions will be from 6 until 7 at Churchill playing fields from 6th July until 31st August. The sessions through the school holidays will also include children training for the Village Olympics (11th September). Sessions will be for children from Y2 (7/8) to Y11 (15/16)
Anyone who has helped with the Juniors previously who are still willing to help need to get in touch with me. If you have not helped before and are interested in starting please get in touch too.
It is intended that in September, these sessions will transfer to Saddleworth School sports hall and continue through the winter. More details of this later.

Results are now attached, please let me know of any corrections

There will, unfortunately, be no Junior training sessions on Tuesday nights this summer.
Don Whittam has decided to retire from leading the Junior training and we have been unable to find anyone to take his place. We have a valued group of people who turn out to help on Tuesday nights but we need someone with the knowledge, understanding and commitment to plan the activities and organise the sessions every week.I would like to take this opportunity to offer my thanks to Don for his dedication to the Junior section dating back to the early 1980's. His commitment to developing a broad based, multi-disciplined approach to children's physical development has given many young people a love of sport and an all round fitness which has enabled them to pursue a range of different physical activities.
Don will continue to help organise the usual Junior events that Saddleworth Runners put on throughout th summer. The first of these is a Junior fell race from Tanners Mill on 30th May (see Club Events for details) followed by the Junior School Athletics on 10th July and the Village Games in September.

Either bring pictures of yourself or others from back in the day ( the older the better). It will be fun trying to guess who is who etc........Might even distract some people from the world cup.
