This is the OLD version of the website. It may be out of date, please see the new site.
If you have any questions about the club, its activities, training, races, transport, socialising, kit, or anything at all, then get in touch with one of these reprobates. Hopefully, they'll be able to answer any queries.
The Captains are here to transmit their motivation, dedication and enthusiasm to the rest of us. If you've got any questions about anything to do with running, the club, or beer, just ask Rosie or Ben.
