Business Challenge 2016 – 1 October 2016
Magnolia is again assisting Sportsvendo in hosting the annual Business Challenge Relay on 1 October at Rietondale Park. And we require Magnolians as helpers/route marshalls on the day!
Magnolia members have been treated with the club tent/trailer at most races and our Comrades runners were handed an excellent goodie bag. Magnolia members now have the opportunity to give back to the club by helping out at this event. The proceeds received from Sportsvendo will be used to keep membership fees down, maintaining the clubhouse, as well as the cost to have the club tent/trailer at races, thus benefiting you as a member of Magnolia.
Please volunteer as a route marshal or helper at the changeover point to help make this a successful event. This day is a lot of fun and an opportunity to meet new faces.
Please send an email to magnoliaroadrunners@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out.

Thursday time trials
Magnolia will be joining forces with the Phobians time trial on Thursdays.
Due to the traffic around our club, time trials have become dangerous and thus Phobians have welcomed us to their time trials. There is a 4km and 8km route.
Their time trials work on a time chip system and the club will buy 20 chips for those members who are interested.
We encourage all members from Magnolia to join us on a Thursdays at 17:30 at Pretoria High School Old Boys Club (378 Queens Crecent, Lynnwood).
Please note that the time trial times will not change for winter so you are encouraged to wear reflective clothing for visibility.

- The club encourages members to obey the ASA rules and not to pirate run or run with only one 2016 AGN license number. License numbers must be worn both front and back.
- We also encourage runners/walkers to refrain from using headphones or other listening devices. In the event of an accident you won't be covered by the insurance taken out by AGN.
- We also encourage runners to wear royal blue/navy/black shorts and skirts that will match the club's running vests. This is not a written rule especially since royal blue is not an easy colour for running gear but as far as uniformity of the club is concerned, we would like to motivate club members to try stick to the club colours.
- When substituting for races, members are encouraged to do their substitutions officially especially when an electronic timing system is used. If the race pamphlet prohibits substitutions they should refrain from doing so.

Running events, being it road running, trail running or triathlons have significantly increased in the size of its participants. The industry is booming and are catering for all. Modern Athlete embarked on a #RunClean campaign where runners are reminded and encouraged to stay clear from littering on the race routes. This is an admirable initiative, especially seeing that road races makes its way through almost every suburb. From an environmental legal point of view, should our runners not run clean, regulations may be put in place where water sachets would not be distributed on road races. Runners should then carry their own water, or drink out of cups. This would have a detrimental effect on race times as many runners need to “grab and go” to run good times.
As Magnolians, let us encourage each other to follow this initiative and set an example as a club that #runclean. Therefore, the next time you lace-up and chase that personal best, remember, #RunClean.

11. Registration for 2016
|
|
|
|
New Magnolia registration procedure with effect from 4 April 2016
In an attempt to reduce the amount of cash we have to deal with during the registration period and to streamline our administrative processes, the club committee has decided to change the registration process from 4 April 2016.
Registrations will now be done as follows:
- Registrations can still be done at the clubhouse on Tuesdays from 17:30 to 18:30 but no more registrations will be done at Run-A-Way Sport (only arranged number collections).
- New and existing members can download the application form from the website (http://magnoliaroadrunners.co.za/membership/), complete it and e-mail it to the registrar, Magda Grobler at magnoliaroadrunners@gmail.com, together with proof of payment – either EFT or bank deposit slip.
- The application form should be marked to indicate where the member wishes to collect the license number: the club house or Run-A-Way Sport.
- The registrar will print these documents, complete the invoice book, and allocate a license number to the member, or obtain the reserved number requested by the member, if applicable.
- Once or twice a week (depending on the time of year) the invoice together with the license number will be delivered to Run-A-Way Sport and the members will be notified when ready for collection from the shop.
- Members who prefer to collect license numbers from the club house on a Tuesday can still do so. The same process can be followed as mentioned above in order to reduce the waiting time, especially during the first month of registration.
- Should members not have access to the Internet to download the membership form or to do an EFT payment, they are welcome to come to the club house on a Tuesday afternoon between 17:00 and 18:30 for registration. The current procedure for club registrations will not change.
- Alternative arrangements will be made when members notify the registrar at least 3 days in advance.
We would like to invite members who are still uncertain about the new procedures to contact any of the committee members or reply to the club e-mail address with queries.
- No registration will be accepted without payment at the club or at the shop. Should you prefer to pay via EFT (this is also our preferred method of receiving your payment), you have to provide a hard copy of proof of payment – no cell phone notifications on the day will be accepted.
- To make an EFT payment, please use the banking details below:
Standard Bank - Acc No 012 187 429
Branch code 012 345
Account name: Magnolia Road Runners
NB: Please remember to use your name as reference when doing an EFT payment!!
- Please check the ASA website in case any of your personal details have changed and make the necessary changes. The club administrator will then ensure that your license number is completed online once you have registered at the club or the shop.
