Wednesday seniors and secondary training, as well as Couch to 5k, is cancelled due to the track being closed. A decision on Thursday training will be made tomorrow lunchtime.
Picky have confirmed they're reopening tomorrow, but I wouldn't get too hopeful of training tomorrow or Thursday - these pictures were taken by our woman on the ground half an hour or so ago, and unless anyone fancies a spot of cross country skiing I think it's unlikely.

All training tomorrow, Tuesday 6th January is CANCELLED due to Picky being closed. We'll update about Wednesday & Thursday training later in the week. Stay safe & enjoy the snow where you can everyone!
