Hello everyone – details of news and runs below.
Trent 5, 24 May: Entry is now open for our own race on Runbritain. Please tell all your friends! The call for marshals and other volunteers is about to go out, do look out for an announcement. If you don’t use Facebook please contact this email address.
Vests: an order is being put in for vests (racer back a possibility for women) in a lightweight, recycled mesh fabric which is slightly more expensive at £24 but better quality. Gaby (gabyneher@gmail.com) is putting up a post with the lengths per size available; please let her know if you would like yours to be longer or shorter than the advertised length. Dave will also be posting about orders for men’s vests.
Please note: For those of us who regularly run around Attenborough Nature Reserve, one of the paths has been closed, probably for some time, due to a structural weakness of a bridge (Works Bridge) on the route. The path goes past the Works Pond (leading to the route back to the exit near the Cricket Club).
