2016 Bute Highland Games10k Road Race

Saturday 20th of August 2016 

Dear club representative,
On behalf of the organising committee of Bute Highland Games I wish to take the opportunity of inviting your organisation to participate in our athletics competition this year.

We have a limited number of spaces this year and to avoid disappointment we are encouraging competitors to pre-register online. There are many advantages of pre-registering for this event such as the added benefit of getting access to the complete highland games experience, free of charge (saving you £10). Please take full advantage of this and enjoy some incredible competitions from highland dancing to caber tossing.

Entry to the 10k event is £10 for Scottish Athletics’ members and £12 each for non-members.
For any further information please visit our website http://www.butehighlandgames.org and if you have Facebook give us a wee ‘like’ at Bute Highland Games to keep up to date with event news and features.

To all members of the running family,
Army Captain – David Seath collapsed while running the London Marathon at the 23 mile mark and sadly died later . His friends are going to complete the 3.2 miles of the marathon course in his honour this weekend.
In order for the running family here in West Dunbartonshire & Argyle and Bute to show fellow support, I have organised a 3.2 Mile route around Levengrove Park for Sunday 1st of May. Meet for 9.50am for a 10.00am start at the War Memorial within the park.See link below for a looped course around the park to cater for all abilities but more importantly showing joggers and runners helping each other.

It must be stressed that this is just a gentle jog around the park to complete the marathon distance for David.

Dear  Patrick

I’m contacting you regarding the proposed upgrade of the Athletics track at Posties Park in Dumbarton. West Dunbartonshire Council (in partnership with WD Leisure) will shortly be submitting their final application to sportscotland for funding that will contribute towards the total cost of the new Athletics facility.  We are hopeful that the application will make a strong case for the project and that it will have a positive outcome, however it is imperative that the application is supported by the community and most importantly those who take part or may take part in athletics at this facility.  This is where you come in.

Please find the attached link to a Survey Monkey – https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/N386NRD

We received some great feedback from a similar questionnaire in 2012 when the project was first proposed and we now hope to supplement that with some up to date information.

There are only a few questions and the survey should take no longer than a couple of minutes to complete.

I would be grateful if you could forward this email to you members and ask them all to respond by Friday 15^th April. The more responses we get – the more potential we have to evidence the positive impact that the facility could have for you and your groups/clubs.

Kind regards,

Angus MacDonald
