Autumn is definitely in the air - lovely to be running in cooler weather, however not so lovely is the rain and wind!
Congratulations to our club members who took part in the Chippenham Half Marathon - Paul, Chris and Jeremy. Well done to Chris and Jeremy on PBs.
Hen and Beth both took part in the Richmond Marathon, with Beth achieving a new Personal Best for the marathon, and raising much needed funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital. Fantastic running both.
Last week the Club Committee met to discuss some important items including reviewing the Club Constitution, the inclusion of the Club as part of the Marlborough Sports Forum, Monday and Wednesday runs planning for the remainder of the year, and importantly the Club Christmas Party! Please note, any changes to the Constitution need member approval so we will convene an EGM if this is required.
Hopefully everyone has seen the hold the date message for the Christmas Party in the Whatsapp group for Friday 12th December at the Roebuck pub in Marlborough. Pete has kindly agreed to be chief organiser this year and will be coming out nearer the time with more information.
