Running with Beeston AC

 

Hi all – details of news and runs below.

 

Welcome to new member Malcolm Goode: happy running with Beeston AC!

 

Calling all marshals! We need volunteers for a variety of different roles not only for the Trent 5 which takes place on Wednesday 25th May but also for Summer League 3 on Wednesday, 15th June. Sophie Eadsforth has kindly volunteered to be Chief Marshal and has put a call out on Facebook. Around 40 volunteers are needed for each of these events. If you aren’t on Facebook and wish to help out please email me and I will pass on your name.
