Hi All,

I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Over 2011 we have seen ANE continue to grow to over 180 members. We are a well established group within the running community involved in the organizing of races, volunteering at events, and fund-raising for a number of causes. We have been active in organizing and keeping fellow members up to date in cross training events and social activities as well. A big thank you to all that given so freely of their time and energy to make this such a great past year.

As we move into 2012, I would encourage members to continue to be active within our group and ask that all members make a commitment to help in the organizing of the events. It is hoped that each member make a commitment to help in at least 3 races during the season and if you could identify these races early in the new year at registration it would make it easier on the organizing committees, so please take the time to do so.

Membership dues remain as at $25 student, $50 individual and $75 family for the season. I ask that membership make arrangements to pay these dues as soon as you are able.

Pay your membership, register for races and club activities, pay for programs and gear, etc – all on-line!

www.athleticsnortheast.com/cart We take care of the administration fees.

Check out our Web site – http://athleticsnortheast.com/ and our our ANE blog – lots of timely information at www.athleticsnortheast.com/blog

Our distribution list is up to-date however if there are any changes of e-mail addresses then please advise and we will make the correction. Also please advise of any change in mailing addresses since last update.

This year’s “Year End” party will be taking place on January 7, 2012 at the Legion on the Boulevard. No doubt will be a good time for all.

If you know of others that maybe interested in joining ANE and participating in our group then please advise.

Catch up with you later.

Hi members!

Bas has asked me to update the club on the results of Trivia night.

Based on the sound level alone, I think it is safe to say that folks
seemed to be enjoying themselves - I hope so!

We had 8 teams comprised of 44 club members and friends, plus Ann and I
looking after the beverages and the questions. Questions took about 2
hours or so, but I know a few people hung around for a while longer!

Five different teams won category prizes, and one other got to the final
tie-breaker in one category, so the competition was fierce! There were a
large number of prizes handed out all around.

Congratulations to Les Quizerables for the overall trivia championship!
Les Quiz were: Susan & Chris Flanagan, Robert & Ruth-Ann Simmons, Heather
Barrett, and Chris Sutherby.

Total funds raised for the ANE - MUN Cross Country Scholarship Fund were
$717.

Thanks to all the participants for attending and enjoying the beverages.
Special thanks to Anthony Paul and Joy Hart for opening their home to the
event. Also thanks to Molson's, MUN Athletics, Will Small, Ann Chafe, and
ANE itself for donations of beverages and prizes for the event.

New for FALL 2011 !!
Organized Mountain Bike Trail Rides; 9 weeks, Saturday mornings 9:00 am
If you loved taking your road bike out in the summer for organized bike rides, you will love these rides along scenic trails. You will watch the colours change from week to week while enjoying the work-out in a group setting. The rides will vary in length progressing to longer distances as we move further into the series. While these rides are not races, we do have developed a point system rewarding the participant with attendance and through bike handling skills tests. The series winds down with a BBQ when the “gravel road biker” trophy will be revealed. You will have to have a current BNL or TriNL membership to participate.

Cost: $25/ 9 weeks starting Saturday October 1st, 2011 until November 26, 2011.

Alternating meeting points: Bowering Park, Wedgewood Pool, Paradise Recreation Centre
