The Blessed Trinity Burnley 10K is at 11.00am on Sunday 14th March, with a fun run in Queen's Park at 9.45am.
The organiser, Mark Salthouse, needs a few more helpers - mainly people to marshal on the course, or at the finish.
If any CleM member can spare a couple of hours on Sunday morning, please contact Mark at the Spirit of Sport Centre, Ormerod Road, Burnley, or via Pete Booth.

race at 2.00pm. Any help with either race would be gratefully appreciated. Even if

Barley Badgers - Tuesday Nights - 6:30pm 2009/10
The time has come when once again these shy creatures can spotted on Pendle. As in previous years we shall venturing out on a Tuesday evening. Leaving at 18:30 from the Pendle Inn car park. This year Simon Clarke has agreed to take a walking group for around 1 to 1 ½ hours, a great way to get going again after injury or if you havn’t run in the dark before and want to find your legs. Martin will be taking a separate group for a similar time aiming to complete one climb, and I shall be aiming to do some strength training probably out for around 1 ½ hours and completing a few climbs as well as occasionally stretching our legs on some of the better ground.
As in previous years there is a leaning toward making these a social occasion as well, so the groups will always wait for the back markers, no one will be 'dropped'. A decent head torch is a prerequisite, as in previous years we have been offered some excellent discounts for those who don’t already have a light.
We will be organising a couple events during the winter along the same lines as previous years, we have a couple of idea’s to make these a bit different so watch this space. Joanne at the pub has once again kindly agreed to offer us a discount on Pie and Pea’s supper’s, this has been negotiated for Clayton members attending Tuesday training only please don’t embarrass her by asking on other occasions.
All in all there should be something for everyone, there are some nice quite roads if any of you faster boys (or girls) want to get a group going, or just come a long for a pint and a chat.
See you there
Simon
ANNUAL PRESENTATION EVENING
Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all members who supported our Presentation Evening at Mytton Fold.
Over 160 members attended and I hope had a wonderful evening, and I would like to ask for feedback regarding the ‘do’
From the members who attended - what are your views on the venue, the food, the order of the evening etc etc etc
From members who didn’t attend - is there anything we could do different that might persuade you to attend next year ???
In the not too distant future we will be making a start on planning next years event - so any comments would be much appreciated.

Burnley Mountaineering
Burnley Mountaineering Club currently have 6 CLEM members and at least 6 ex members who are members of our club. It is a logical step as runners slow down or are injured we give the opportunity to access the mountains and walk or run at their own pace either by themselves or with other walkers. As long as the route book is filled in each individual can do their own thing including linear walks/runs, a change of clothes can be left on the coach.
Apart from the monthly trip they also arrange weekends in Climbing huts and hostels etc -

Erosion on Pendle
The Committee has recently discussed the problem of erosion on Pendle Hill.
A particular area of concern is the path that has appeared on the Full Tour route. The erosion is particularly bad on the ‘Geronimo’ descent into Ogden and the descent to checkpoint 9, above the Downham Road Bridge (before the final ascent up the Big End).
But there are other scars: Spence Moor (above Churn Clough Reservoir), the ‘Bunny Run’ off Deerstones, Buttock Fell.
We appreciate that it is not just CleM members who use these routes or, for that matter, just runners. However, we feel that when we are out on Pendle, especially in large groups, we should try to avoid causing erosion, or making it worse. Please consider your routes and the possible impact on the landscape when you are planning routes on Pendle.
Trueshopping
In last month’s Newsletter you received a flier giving information about Trueshopping Ltd, an internet department store owned by a CleM member, Steve Heys. Trueshopping’s sports department, Truerunning, has sponsored the new Clayton-le-Moors Harriers tent that you may have seen at January’s Celebration Evening or at the Blessed Trinity 10K Race.
In our World of Sport Department we have a huge selection of sportswear, running shoes (including Walsh fell running shoes) and sports injury products - top brands at discount prices. Other departments of the online store include garden furniture, rugs and tools.
At the moment CleM members qualify for an extra saving on the heavily discounted products available on the site by quoting CLHTRS01 at the checkout. As an affiliate of Trueshopping, the club also receives a commission on each purchase made by its members. So click on the link www.trueshopping.co.uk, or on the Trueshopping banner at the top of the page, to benefit both yourself and Clayton-le-Moors Harriers.
