Berry Hill Park for the relays was also hard going, but as at West Park if the legs are quite short such conditions are great fun. Any more of this rain and I fear that Shipley Park for the North Mids is going to be horrific

SPR Nov 2019 4:51pm, 7 Nov 2019 29,644 posts	Quote Pin SPR Div 1 cancellation confirmed. League trying to find a new venue by this evening. Happy - I like XC to be longer but would be better at that type of race I think. Would be fun to try a short course at some point. Gobi - Next you'll be back at the road relays Larkim - NO!
anyonebutmatt Nov 2019 5:06pm, 7 Nov 2019 34 posts	Quote Pin anyonebutmatt SPR, we had offered to take Div 1 at the Div 2 course at Burton Dassett but the park ranger didn't want an extra 300 people there so we can't help this time round.
SPR Nov 2019 6:58pm, 7 Nov 2019 29,646 posts	Quote Pin SPR ABM -vmWould definitely have changed the race having Div1 there. Hope they find somewhere. Haven't done Burton Dassett before so looking forward to it. Also it's always good to have our women running at the same venue.
