A Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone at the club and beyond, who follow our website.

Thanks to everyone for mucking in despite the bitter weather and the conditions underfoot. Dave Evans took a tumble but after his effort not during! This caveat does not apply to a lucky beggar on Crete and to Stephen Walker in Portugal! Great to have Stephen back with us after his health issues. Plus a special mention for Mario over in Germany. And a later welcome to John Crahan, whose time was lost in the post.

A January Virtual 5 kilometres was already on the fixture list. Hence we will follow the same process this month. Clockings to be sent to Tony by midnight, Tuesday, January 31 at the latest. All being well a few days later we will be racing in reality at the Sam Shoebottom event.
