RUNNING HOLIDAYS IN SPAIN

John Graham, the ex-international marathon runner from Glasgow, has written to tell me about the running holidays and running camps that he organises with business partner Frank McGowan also an ex-international runner. With a wealth of experience behind them ( John was second the fastest marathon runner in 1981 when winning the Rotterdam marathon in 2:09:28) an interesting and useful week or two’s training will be guaranteed.

John has offered discounts to MMAC members, please check out their website at http://www.jfpacemakers.com/

MMAC Yahoo Group

To all members of MMAC

I have set up a Yahoo Group strictly for members only. This will enable me to let you all know by email, quickly, any latest information that becomes available. You can also leave messages on there for other members, so it’s a two-way process. I will be announcing this shortly via email and our Newsletter but in the meantime any Member who wishes to subscribe should visit http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/mmac/ and sign up. It’s free and easy to do. I urge all members to join as this will enable me to be more efficient with circulating as much information to you all as is possible and hopefully a bit of fun as well! At the moment with an email circulation of over 500 there are difficulties associated with it. With your co-operation this group can be a success. As moderator I have to approve of all subscriptions, so MEMBERS ONLY PLEASE! Anyone else will be rejected.

Other organisations have been successful with this idea over the last ten years or more, come on guys, let’s go for it?

Hello world!

Welcome to the Midland Masters Blog. This is meant to supplement our website not to replace it and will be used to announce details of special events such as the Home International Cross Country (see separate page on this blog) and news that is not neccessarily suitable for the Newsletter. As they say… watch this space.
