Hi all – Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone, hope to see some of you on our festive runs. The next email will be on 6 January 2022.
Some 25 Beestonites had a fantastic Two Bridges/Clifton Grove run last Sunday – many thanks to Gaby Neher for organising! Photos attached.
Holme Pierrepont RC is coordinating the Christmas Relays on Tuesday, 28 December at 10.30 and Lucy Grant has kindly offered to organise teams. The venue is HP Country Park (car parking charges payable). Please let Lucy know by tomorrow, 24 December if you are interested in this via her Facebook post or email. It’s £20 per team – 2 x male, 2 x female, senior and vet. Get thinking up those team names! The run is about 4K and these relays are always fun! Three more ladies would be great.
