August Newsletter

Hi,

There doesn’t seem to have been much of a Summer this year but the one advantage is that it has not been too hot to run and we have had a good turn out most Tuesday’s.

As we move into Autumn there is still a lot going on.

Pub Run

Our September pub run is from The Wyche Inn Upper Colwall on Tuesday 5th September.

The Wyche Inn public house and bed and breakfast

There is fairly limited parking so you may wish to consider car sharing.

We will meet at 6.30 for a 6.45 start as usual. It may be sensible to wear trail shoes as the runs will almost certainly be on the hills. Chips in the pub afterwards as usual.

parkrun

Firstly, congratulations to Hugh Sweet-Escott who completed his 250th parkrun at Hereford on 26th August.

You may be aware that there is a club WhatsApp group for members who go to parkrun. If you are not a member of the group but would like to be please let me know. We share photos and discuss where people are going to run, among other things.

Quite a lot of us are going to run Mallards Pike parkrun in the Forest of Dean on 30th September. We will post reminders nearer the time but it would be great if we could get a really good turnout. There is a cafe to grab a coffee afterwards. We will also try to arrange some car sharing. Keep a lookout for further information.

Committee Meeting

We have not had a committee meeting for a few months and we are planning to have a meeting on Thursday 14th September. The meeting will be at Ledbury Rugby Club at 7.45. Everyone is welcome and if you have anything that you want discussing please let either Dave Elks or me know.

Upcoming Races

Worcester City Runs – Worcester City Runs

This is a favourite of mine. There is a 10k and a Half Marathon.

Newent Nine – This years race is on Sunday 19th November. Entries are not yet open but we will post details when they are available. This is the most popular race for club members and I hope we will get a lot of us running this year.

Hope to see you out and about.

Best wishes

Mark
