National Cross Country Championships
The nationals at Parliament Hill are upon us!
We've organised a coach that we're sharing with a couple of other clubs.
If you'd like a place on the coach the price for each seat is £18.
The account for payment is Nuneaton Harriers Athletic Club
Sort code: 30-96-20
Account number: 02908822
Please use your name as the reference and email the club when payment has been made nuneatonharriersac@thepinglesstadium.com
The coach will leave the front of The Pingles, promptly at 7am and they'll be a pick up at Coventry Godiva's track (CV4 8GD)
If you're going to need a lift please do this sooner rather than later!
Cross Country Leagues

This weekend is the final set of league fixtures for our junior, women and mens team.
