To Julie, Chris, Richard
From Janet
There is a lot of support for the sponsored run. 240 students have signed up and the organization is going well. Julie has publicized the event on message boards and you can sponsor the runners online on a special website. Chris has designed a route which is exactly 10 km. Friends and parents will be happy with the route because it’s easy to see the runners. The event is in June, but it might rain because this is England! If it rains, Richard will provide special rain gear for the runners.
Action points
1) Richard is going to email the route to runners.
2) Janet is going to set up tables of water every 2.5 kilometres. If it’s sunny, the runners will get thirsty and it’s important to stay hydrated.
3) Julie is going to find out if we need to inform the town council about the event.
4) Julie is also going to ask the teachers to join in. If students see that their teachers are participating, they’ll train harder.
