Construction work at Marl Pits.

The work on the Pool and new soccer pitches at Marl Pits is due to start soon (we haven't been given a firm date as yet) and there will be implications for members of the harriers in terms of parking, and access to the changing rooms and track. The works will be phased, starting with the enlargement of the existing car park, followed by building work on the pool and pitches. My main concern is safety for all our members so a copy of the site plan, with safe pedestrian routes, will be posted in the club room, and I would ask that you note the following points:

Car Parking will be limited on the existing area adjacent to the pool so please park on the
top car park/netball pitches. This will be locked after 9.30pm.
The safest route to the changing rooms will be through a new gate onto the track at the finish of the 100 metres.

A site compound will be errected at the entrance end of the changing rooms and this will extend along the track railings. This will restrict views onto the road and, given the fact that the Golf Driving Range has resulted in increased traffic flow, could be a safety issue.
The contractors have been asked to put in temporary speed bumps, which will be made more permanent at the end of the project (June 2012).

All of the above will make more sense if read in conjunction with th site plan but if anyone has any questions or concerns please get in touch.

P.B. Performance.

Post training sports massage sessions will now be taking place at Rossendale Harriers following training sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (Marl Pitts Sports centre BB4 7SN). The sessions will be based on a drop-in service, although sessions can be booked in advance to secure a slot. Each booking will last for around a 15minute period and priced at £7.50 additional slots can be booked, for example you can book two slots which is 30 minutes for £15.00
With the cold winter nights on the way these sessions are ideal in helping reduce the high winter injury rates and helping you get the most out of your training.
Benefits of Sports Massage include;
• Relaxes muscles and releases tension.
• Increases blood flow and oxygen to the tissues
• Which in turn reduces recovery time and speeds up injury recovery time.
• Increases Flexibility
• Re-aligns muscle fibres.
