Well done to all the Double Gravs runners – a humid evening but a lot of fun! Well done also to the members who tackled the Nottingham 10K on University Park – it was like doing all our hill sessions at once!

 

6. Overseas vestsmessage from Simon Elliott:

As requested by a number of members, the Committee has commissioned a verion of the Beeston AC vest to run in abroad .. I’m now taking orders for delivery before autumn trips. Sizing is as the current vests and t-shirts, details on club website. Vests £20, t-shirts £22. If you’d like one, please reply to the Facebook post or message/email Simon on simonrun@me.com by 1st July please.
