A Festive Message from Bristol & West

Dear athletes, parents, coaches and officials,

Before we take a break for the festive period, we wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for making 2021 the great year it has been. From all the nights at Whitehall, to NAL, Midland and Avon League successes via a fantastic new 5k series, results on the road and our ongoing cross country performances, to name a few, it’s been a year we won’t forget in a hurry! Thank you all for your time, efforts and contributions throughout the year!

Whitehall Track Holiday Closure

Over the festive period, we will be having a holiday break, and similar to other local clubs, Whitehall will be closed. Whitehall will be closed from Tuesday the 21st December and will reopen on Tuesday the 4th January. The last day Whitehall will officially be open is Monday the 20th December.

Some coaches may continue their sessions "unofficially" over the holiday period, please contact your individual coach for their training arrangements over this period. Academy will be closed for this period, and the track will be closed for non-members.

Online Talk: The female athlete, an introduction to the menstrual cycle and using it to optimise your performance

The club has organised for Phoebe Law from fitrwoman to give a Zoom presentation on Monday 20th December at 4pm about the menstrual cycle, optimising your cycle and managing symptoms and irregularities. The talk is suitable for ages 10 and above and is aimed primarily at younger athletes, but senior athletes are welcome to join if they wish. If you would like to sign up to this talk, please email marketing@bristolandwestac.org.

We hope you all enjoy a well earned break, and we wish you and your families a lovely holiday season and a very Happy New Year.
