Although it may not feel like it at the moment, summer IS on the way and, consequently, training sessions will return to the lovely lanes of Denmead on Monday, 1st April -no this is not an April Fool prank! 🙂
Gary has compiled a comprehensive training programme for your enjoyment which can be viewed by following training link.
It is with great sadness to report that our club president, Charlie Burton, one of the founding members passed away last week at the age of 92. If it wasn’t for Charlie & Co and his love of running our club would not be here today.
Thank you to all of you that came along to training with donations and to Lisa for organising. We delivered this to our local foodbank last Friday and they were overwhelmed with the amount we arrived with. So a big thank you – it really does mean a lot to them.
After much deliberation we have decided to open entries for this years Denmead 10k to all club members. We are hopeful that we will still have enough volunteers/marshals/pacers to allow us to put on a safe and enjoyable event and are heavily reliant on you all giving up your time to help and we very much appreciate that. Entries are now open so if you want to run then please sign up on the Denmead 10k page. However if you want to volunteer to help then please let either Bekki Leaves or Paul Welch know. We always get the best feedback on how great our marshals are so would be great to keep that going
Minutes from the January meeting are now available for your reading pleasure
The 5th (and final) cross country race of the season will take place at Bourne Woods next Sunday, 18th February starting at the usual time of 11 am. Pease follow the link Bourne Woods XC for full details of the day’s event.
Unfortunately, Fareham RC had to cancel their race in the Holywell Estate due to lack of parking at the venue. This was scheduled to be the final race of the season.
As always, it would be great to field a strong team & go out with a bang!
