The Coliban Relays are on Saturday week the 10 July.  Please let Ken know if you are running.  I have currently entered two teams (Division 1 (6 members) and Division 3 (6 members)) so I need to know if we will have enough for a Division 6 team (5 members) so that I could enter a team before Monday the 5 July.  We also need to provide 2 officials for this race so let me know if you can help out (it is a good one to take your turn as an official as it can be as we can get a position at the early on in the race and it can be completed in half an hour or so (even possible for someone who is running a later leg of the race).
