Thank You to Glen and Bianca Frost and Lezel Erasmus for being our Sunday morning club run                                                                   heroes on 24 November 

Thank You Patrick Moonasar & Luke Walker for Hosting the last Sunday club run for December, ending on a high note.

 
 
Magnolia Member of the Month

The Magnolia Committee decided to announce a Magnolian of the Month in order to introduce all the movers and shakers to the club, based on any form of service/contribution or achievement.

For the month of November we want to recognise and congratulate Renate van Niekerk. She is a long standing member of the club and a familiar face at the Sunday runs and races. Renate recently surpassed her previous best in the marathon twice and was smiling all the way to a sub 3 hour 94.7 cycle race. You are a true inspiration. 

 

MAGNOLIA DECEMBER CHARITY RUN @ CLUB HOUSE

Dear Magnolia members and friends


It is nearly time for the annual Magnolia charity run on 8 December 2019!!

Unfortunately I cannot be there but Elzette Myburgh and Magda Grobler together with some other none running friends Caroline Williamson and Adele Visser will keep the tradition going The run takes place from the Magnolia club house in Middel Street Brooklyn  

It is an out-and-back of maximum 15km with a shorter option as well. Walkers start at 05:45 and runners start at 06:00. Come dressed looking festive!!!
Breakfast served at the club house afterwards 

Once again we are using this as a time to give to others and have selected OMGEE MAMMAS at the school Elzette teaches at in the Tierpoort area. They collect food to distribute to less fortunate children at the school and in the community
 
Any non- perishable food items as well as basic toiletries will be most welcome

MAGNOLIA INTERCARE RACE
 
On Saturday 1 February 2020 Magnolia Road Runners will be hosting the Intercare classic road race at the Rietondale Park.

We urge members not to take part in the race but to rather volunteer to help us on the day with the race. 

We need your help at the start/finish, entries, terrain or as marshals. We will try to accommodate requests for specific placements as far as possible, but decisions might be trumped by the available positions in each area.  

If you have NOT made contact with Colin yet, please e-mail him urgently at colin.billau@gmail.com  


 
Reserve your 2020 ASA License Number

Those members who are interested in keeping their numbers from 2019, are requested to mail Hannes Nel at hannes.nel.mail@gmail.com before the END OF DECEMBER 2019.

There is no guarantee that we will get the same license numbers for 2020 as requested, especially for members who joined late in the year, as numbers issued by AGN later in the year might be additional numbers and do not fall within the numbers allocated for Magnolia.  This will specifically pertain to numbers consisting of 5 digits.
