Primary League. Friday 15th May
I have just been informed that Wigan Rugby League are playing at home on Friday night next to the Athletics arena so please give yourself extra time to get through traffic and to find a parking space (do not pay to park tell the parking attendance you are running at the arena). Due to the high numbers registration could take a while so please be there as early as possible. It will start at 6.30 prompt so anyone arriving late will not be able to enter. I will be there approx 5.30 to register and provide numbers. Please have your sheets filled in before arrival to save time! Previous years have been chaos at registration time! Once the meeting is underway it's great fun for the kids and adults.

Opportunity for juniors as well as seniors - Wed 3rd June is the Chorley CC Hillclimb Championship, which is held on the Horwich CC Hill climb event at Rivington. This is open to anyone over 12 and there's a chance to be the first ever schoolboy or schoolgirl club champion, so it would be good to see a few of them up there. The sign in point is at the Rivington end of the dam, by the Bowling Club. Sign in at 7pm and first rider off at 7.30. They will need a completed CTT consent form, with Horwich CC noted as the organising club - download at
http://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/Forms. I think it was £3 entry last year and I doubt that will have changed. Start line is by the sign in point. Finish line is the very top of Sheephouse Lane, before you start to drop down into Belmont. Strongly recommend dousing yourself with insect repellent if competing or spectating based on the last couple of years. Horwich run a 3 race series, of which this is the first. The other events are Matchmoor Lane on June 17th and Belmont on July 1st.

5 Mile Road Race.
Start time 7:30PM
St Annes Sea Front - just behind the pitch and putt near Pleasure Island. The most convenient car park is the one behind St. Anne's Swimming Pool, free after 6pm.
Hopefully we'll get a good turnout like previous years.
Thanks

300 young people enjoyed the 2nd Katie Hewison Duathlon in Astley Park, organised by Chorley Athletic & Triathlon Club at the weekend. The event was part of the NW Triathlon Series, and also incorporated the Chorley Schools Duathlon. 28 Chorley schools took part in the event, and 22 different clubs from across the North West.
There were many close finishes in the 11 different age races, with all 36 Chorley juniors doing exceptionally well, many competing in a multi-event sport for the first time. Notable performances, from Chorley club juniors include, Thomas Murphy and Alayana Ahmed finishing first in the Supersprint event; Charlotte Lavin and Mia Rigby, 1st and 2nd place in the Sprint event; Benjamin Glew 4th place in Tristart event; Lily Brindle 2nd, and Owen Kellet 7th, Tristar 1; Emma Jeffers 2nd, and Jack Hughes 5th, Tristar 2; Ben Hughes 1st, and Jacob Hughes 3rd, T3; and Brandon Davies, 1st, Youth.
Katie Hewison, European Duathlon Champion 2014, started all races, and gave all the medals out to every participant. The club would like to thank Katie for her time and continued support as the club Ambassador.
The school results will be available later this week.

4 Chorley Juniors travelled to Cheshire to compete in the Northwich Aquathlon. For all of them, it was their first event of the season, and all competed in new age categories, meaning longer distances to complete.
They all competed strongly, showing a great start to the triathlon season. Megan Wilson, T1, 21st; Jack Hughes, T2, 10th; Henry Wilson T3, 11th; and an excellent 3rd place for Jack Wilson, Youth category.
