Open Weekend 7th/8th. September, Public running. The weekend went well, drizzly and damp Saturday, heavy rain Sunday morning but cleared up at 11am. and turned out to be a sunny day. The weather didn't deter our visiting club members, Alan James, Glyn and George Winsall from Rugby, who ran on our raised track, and Frank Abbott from Birmingham, who graced the ground level track. And a big thank you to the public for turning out and supporting us. A good weekend was had by all, and thank you to all our members who helped and made the event run smooth, and not forgetting our catering staff, both in the clubroom and members tea hut, who kept everyone fed and watered.
