To all our fellow BAK Members,
The year is truly under way and the first two months of
2020 have just flown by. A warm welcome again to all our new members who have
joined in February, you have made the best decision ever by joining the Bellville
family.
Our Dan Luyt race was again a huge success! We had close to
300 more runners than last year, making this one of only a few races that had a
growth in runners compared to the previous year, so I want to thank every
single member that assisted us on the day. We appreciate you so much and
without you we could not host an event like this. Our next race is the Bakgat
10km on 7 October 2020 and we will again ask you for help for that day.
Our next big social event is the Two Oceans evening, which
will be held on 4 April 2020. Please diarise this date as it is always a fun
evening and we’re looking forward to your attendance. More information will be communicated
closer to the time and once again there will be a small gift for every Two
Oceans runner that attends the event.
We should be receiving the Versus socks and the new club
cap and peak within the next week or so, but we will communicate this as soon
as the stock has been received.
We will be postponing the AGM to May, the
reason being that we want to wait for the next WPA council meeting which will
be held in April, to know if our new club will be approved or not.
I have appealed on a number of occasions that we as
Bellville members must please be the example by not littering at races and I am
very happy with what I have observed, so a big Thank You to you, our members, for
adhering to our request. Let us keep on showing other clubs how it should be done,
and we can even follow Shafiq’s example and clean up after other runners. Well
done again Shafiq for the great example you have set.
I am so impressed and proud of the amazing times and the number
of PB’s being achieved by our members, a number of these runners are coached by
our very own Quintus. Well done to all these runners and also well done and
thank you to coach Q for his time and effort, you are indeed a great coach!
Good Luck to everyone that will be running races in March,
if you are going for another PB or just running the race for fun do not forget
to have fun and be thankful that we are able to do what we love.
See you on the road,
Andre
