Details of June 2009 Fitness weekend

This is to be held in East Sussex/Kent over the weekend 13th-14th June. 

Arrival at Frant Place on Saturday morning 13th June at 9.30, day/evening at Frant Place, overnight stay (Saturday) and fitness tests (Sunday) at Holmewood House School, Langton Green, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN3 0EB; return to Frant. Parents to arrive not earlier than 16.00 for collection.

A quick reminder to bring at least two sets of old clothes; also clothing for training/fitness work, including running shoes (not spikes), a water bottle, snacks, swimming costume and towel. Also night wear, toothbrush etc. Please also bring a second pair of clean trainers for indoor use.
 
Please do not bring any valuables - there will not be time to watch DVDs, etc.  iPods etc are not allowed during the fitness testing.
 
Gareth Trayner, Head Coach, will be working with you - as will Amanda Pirie, former GBR team member. I will also be present, and we are delighted that Susan Murrin is able to come down for this weekend. Further staffing will depend on final numbers, and will be confirmed.
 
We are also delighted that current senior team members Ed Drake and Dave Ryding have agreed to join us for the weekend to work alongside the athletes, and to talk about the long-term aims for the future.
 
As part of a BOA initiative aimed at motivation and inspiration, and also to give some hints on how to stay in for the long haul towards Olympic representation, we are delighted that we will have a British Olympic representative to give a talk on Saturday morning to the athletes.
 
For the adults we will have a fairly brief introduction from myself and Gareth Trayner (Head Coach), followed by a Q&A session. We hope to have another speaker too, details to be confirmed. 
 
We would aim to start this not long after 9.30, and should be finished by about 11.  We hope that as many of you as possible will stay for this session.  There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions about the programme, management, selection, or any other aspect of the BCST.  Dream up all the difficult ones for us now - this is your chance to put us on the spot!
 

We are very grateful to Lord and Lady Moynihan for hosting this camp, in conjunction with Holmewood House School - many thanks to the Headmaster. 

Scots Flights, accompanied by Susan Murrin are as follows - Scots will be met on arrival and delivered back to the airport on Sunday in time for the return flight:
