We will be taking a new club photo for the homepage this Monday night at 7:10pm before training. Definitely do try to attend and wear whatever club gear you have.

Women’s Mini Marathon Stewarding
The club has been asked to steward at the start of the women’s mini marathon this June bank holiday Monday. There tends to be a great atmosphere at the start of the event and the stewarding is an important source of funding for the club. We normally rely on the same core group of about 20 diligent members for events like these, so it would be nice to see others chip in. The more the better!
