Annual General Meeting 2022 and Primary Schools Cross Country
Two quick updates:
This Saturday’s (5th March) Primary Schools Cross Country match has been cancelled, sorry. The field we run on is completely waterlogged. The next event is 19th March.
The AGM has been rescheduled due to Storm Franklin to 28 March at Cheadle Sports Club 225 Kingsway, Cheadle SK8 1LA, 7.30pm start. Original agenda still stands.
Updated Fixture List below

Whilst we managed to dodge Storm Eunice and host the Heaton Park Cross Country on Saturday, the travel disruption from Storm Franklin has led us to postpone today’s (Monday 21st) AGM. We will publish a new date as soon as we have it.
