Update 20th June 2022

We have decided to continue to hold our 2nd Tuesday meetings at lunchtime for June, July and August and the 4th Tuesday will now be evening starting at 7:00 to 7:30.  We will return to all lunchtime in September 2022. We are gradually updating the calendar of events for 2022 below as we put together our plans and the dates for external events are known.

Mid week runs

We will aim to have at least one per month hopefully more from Spring to Autumn and we have a small team of volunteers to try to achieve this. Generally confirmed within a weeks notice to fit in with weather and member availability. Any changes or cancellation will be via our email circulation list so contact Jon Dunsdon to get on his list to get the final details of the meeting place.

We are considering some other runs to be added to those below so watch this space.
