The full results of the Second Downs League Junior Cross Country race are

ready to view on http://www.ThePowerof10.info , as well as all past results.

Join us, in conjunction with Wimbledon Windmilers, for our third post-Christmas Street Orienteering event. Please feel free to invite your friends and family as this is not a public event. The event is free. Although the event starts at 10:30am, it would be helpful if you could be there as early as possible so we can get you registered.

With Street Orienteering you have ONE hour to find as many controls as you can on the supplied map. These could be house names, post box numbers, colours of front door etc. All have a different amount of points, so best to choose the route where you can get as many points within the hour. After one hour you get deducted some of those earned points. Bring with you a pen (and a spare) to write down your answers, and a reliable time piece.

You can run in groups and children are more than welcome to run as long as they have a responsible guardian with them. If you are not sure, or want more information, please ask. There will be quite a few people present on the day who will be only too willing to explain how it works – just look on it as a glorified treasure hunt!

We will adjourn after the event for refreshments at The Hare and Hounds.

Can you please let me know if you are attending so that we know how many maps to produce here: //www.facebook.com/events/2885752488110780/

The next Down’s League fixture is on Sunday 1st December.

Please e-mail Steve McDuell ( RunatBarnes@Gmail.com ) if your child would like to run or you would like more information.

The next Street Orienteering event takes place next Tuesday evening commencing at The Duke of Cambridge, 228 Battersea Bridge Road, SW11 3AA.

Due to electronic timing you can start anytime between 18:00 and 19:30.
You have one hour to find as many clues as you can – race, run or walk as you wish! It’s certainly not rocket science (or I wouldn’t be doing them!). A specially produced street map will be provided, as well as a timing chip, so all you need to bring is some running gear, a watch and a pen (and a spare!). You only have an hour to accumulate as many points as possible; over the hour and you will lose points accordingly. You can run in groups if you are worried or just not sure.
All under 16s must run with an adult (insurance purposes). It’s like a glorified treasure hunt. Entry is under £5, so what could be a better way to spend a Tuesday evening? Food and drink is available for purchase afterwards.

If you are not sure, and would like to talk to someone before taking part – just ask me, Bob, or respond to this notice.

Maps are not cheap to produce, so it would help the organisers if you could pre-warn them that you are coming via Facebook

Well done to all who turned out for the club at Epsom Downs this morning. I am reliably told that it’s our largest turnout for a fixture to date! Some very impressive runs as well – watch this space for the results as soon as they are announced.

If there are any envious parents out there who’d like to run for the senior Shufflers and recapture those halcyon school-day moments running round the local park in the mud and rain, then please don’t hesitate to come forward. Our fixtures can be found at http://www.sheenshufflers.co.uk/crosscountry.cfm – you would be more than welcome. All fixtures between 5 and 6 miles and 11:00 on a Sunday morning!

Don’t forget that this Sunday is the first of four fixtures in the Junior Cross-Country League that we participate in. The venue is Epsom Downs and the first race is 10:45.

If you would like to take part or are interested in taking part, please speak to Steve, stephenmcduell@icloud.com . We have 11 runners confirmed for Sunday, which is a good starting point – but obviously, we would like as many as possible.

Steve’s mobile is 07952-194662 if there are any issues regarding Sunday morning.

The first in this season’s Cross-Country League fixtures takes place this Sunday, 3rd November, on Epsom Downs, KT18 5PP.

The under 11s, Age 8 to Year 6, commence at 10.45 over a distance of 2.2 kilometres.
Under 13s, Year 7 and Year 8 commence at 11.15 over 3.2 kilometres
Under 15s, Year 9 and Year 10 commence at 11:30 over 3.2 kilometres.

You must wear team colours – and tops will be available to purchase on the day for £20. The race entry is free.

Sheen Shufflers will have a sail banner up, so you’ll find us pretty easily.

It would help if you could let Steve know in advance that you are running at StephenMcDuell@icloud.com or if you make a decision to go on the day, we’ll see you there!

Any questions – please ask!

Ready for Winter? We now have the new hoodies in stock, and we will have them at the track on Sunday. The price is £25 per hoodie. Sizes 7/8, 9/10, 11/13. An ideal early Christmas present?

SUNDAY 27th OCTOBER WILL BE THE LAST SUNDAY MORNING ATHLETICS OF 2019.

As it stands at the moment, we are expecting resumption of Sunday Morning Athletics on Sunday 15th March 2020.

Please keep an eye on the Sheen Shufflers Juniors Website and on our Facebook Page to be notified of other Junior activities.
