Welcome to a (slightly) restructured Newsletter.
Obviously our 40th Anniversary year was always likely to be a busy one, and as a club we have achieved so much. Individually too, there have been some standout performances. It doesn’t matter what pace you run or the position you come, it’s the personal achievement which is important.
As mentioned in the last newsletter, this edition sees the introduction of a “Five Minutes With………” section, where one of our fellow club members tells us a little bit more about themselves. We’re such a big club now with so many members (665 at last count!) we don’t want to lose that identity and so I think it’s nice to learn a little bit more about our individual members at the club, and what inspires them to run.
Additionally, in the Newsletter there’s a little less specific focus on races completed and more on the events we do as a club. Every day, runners seem to complete a race here or there (or everywhere in some instances!) so it’s not really feasible to report so much individually now.
A Merry Christmas to you all, and I do hope 2025 is prosperous for all and your personal goals – whatever they may be – are reached. See you in the New Year.
I mentioned in my last newsletter that the Olympics and Paralympics were likely to be inspirational, and they didn’t fail to deliver. Team GB produced some excellent results, and usually that has a positive knock-on effect for us runners. Whatever our distance, speed, personal goals or reasons for running you could not help but be lifted by watching some of those amazing events unfold.

Well, I’ve clearly left it a little too long since the last Newsletter. My aim of doing them 6-weekly falling by the wayside at the busiest running period of the year. So, I’ve aimed to keep this one as compact as I can, and I’m sorry for any omissions but Microsoft have been in touch and told me to keep it brief to avoid risk of the file being too large in size, such has been the extent of some outstanding and extraordinary performances over the past 3 months.
