IMPORTANT UPDATED INFORMATION

START FITNESS METROPOLITAN LEAGUE

Fixture No: 2
Date: 9 November 2019
Venue: Stanborough Park, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, AL8 6DF
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / CHANGES
Course and Amenities:

Construction works have now started in the field that we previously used for the Assembly Area and Finish.  We have therefore had to reposition the Finish and alter the course.  New course maps are included with this notice.

The course now passes in both directions adjacent to the Start/Finish area.  This will, therefore, be congested and we ask all spectators to keep clear of this corner.

The Assembly Area has been moved close to the entrance road and the course.  Please be careful and please keep clear of the course.
The park toilets will still be available plus some additional portable toilets.  This is a public park, so please only use the toilets provided.
The course is already very slippery, so you are strongly advised to wear suitable footwear.

Timetable: Because of the change to the course, the U11 Boys’ race will start 3 minutes later than previously published at 12:28 and the U13 Boys’ race will start 3 minutes later at 12:43.  Both the U11 Girls’ race and U13 Girls’ race will start promptly.

Course Description: Start and finish in grassed fields, remainder undulating parkland course suitable for spikes.
Public Transport: Welwyn Garden City Station (Main Line) 1¼ mile
Parking: There is a fairly large car park on the north side of the Park, adjacent to the course.
There is a very large car park on the south side of the Park, 5 minutes walk to the course.
These car parks are ‘Pay & Display’.  You must display a ticket or you may incur a fine. We have not been able to negotiate a reduced rate.
There is a footpath under the road bridge, providing traffic-free access between the south side and the north side of the Park.
Access to both of these car parks is only permitted from the adjacent side of the carriageway.  If you cannot find a space on the north side, to get to the south side you must drive to the roundabout at the top of the hill and return on the other side of the carriageway.
YOU MUST OBEY THE TRAFFIC SIGNS
Directions from major roads: Leave the A1(M) at Junction 4, (after the Hatfield Tunnel).  At the roundabout take the second exit to A414/A6129.  At the next roundabout take the first exit A6129.  At the bottom of the dual carriageway take the second exit out of the roundabout.  The entrance to the car park on the north side is on your left after around 100m. The entrance to the car park on the south side is more or less opposite but you cannot gain access from the left side of the carriageway.
As early arrivers will undoubtedly fill the car park on the north side, you may be advised to go straight to the one on the south side.

  Promptly at 12:30 1,700m Under 11 Girls
