Payment:The normal entry fee for Withdean is for entry to the track facility and does not go to the club. Whilst at The Rec we are asking that all athletes bring a £1 coin to put in a bucket provided so we can make a contribution to Hove RFC for use of their facilities.
Weather:We will be there, whatever the weather but please be aware that it is an open park with no cover. At the moment it is still warm but evenings are starting to get chilly. Please ensure children are appropriately dressed.
Activities:We are limited as to what we can do in the park and activities will be predominantly running based.
Health and Safety:Unlike Withdean, the park is an open environment and we therefore have to undertake additional precautions, please note the following:
· We are sharing the park with Hove RFC please be aware of what they are doing and do not go on the pitches/areas that they are using and please co-operate with them at all times.
· The park is used by the public, please be aware of this particularly if running on the paths, it is up to athletes to go around other users, please be aware of dogs and small children.
· We will require all children in the 5:45 group to register at the start of the session.
· We have a record from our membership list of contact phone numbers, which we will have with us, please inform us if you have changed your number.
· All children in the 5:45 group will be provided with a coloured bib so we can identify them.
· Children will be asked to stay within a controlled area at all times.
· We can use the Hove RC toilet but we will only let children in the 5:45 group use this facility if accompanied by a coach or parent. Because of this please try and ensure your children use the toilet before they arrive.
· Please ensure children have a drink of water with them.
· Please inform us of any illnesses or injuries your children may have that you consider we should be aware of.
· Please ensure children are wearing clothes suitable for the weather, please check with your coach if it is ok to use spikes.
