ANNOUCEMENT - SESSIONS CANCELLED 30/11/23 Unfortunately we are having to cancel tonight’s sessions. Not only do we have the risk of having icy/slippy paths later on as the temperature drops; we have just been informed by the bar manager that the clubhouse heating system has broke due to the cold weather! Due to both of these factors, the safest option is to cancel with a view to being back to normal next Tuesday. Thanks all Sam J Chairperson

Thank you to the 55 SSAC members who attended tonight’s AGM. The support the club receives is much much appreciated 💚💙. Notes from the meeting will follow in the coming days but we’d like to say a huge thank you for all their hard work to those stepping down from the committee - Andy Johnston, Liz Simpson, and Amy Gallilee and a big welcome to Tom Ramsey, Sue King, Glenn Cooper & Kris Allen who are joining it. Samuel Johnston has big shoes to fill taking over the club chairperson role from Andy but I’m sure he’ll do a stirling job. The other big news of the night is our London Marathon club ballot winner for 2024 is Jonathon Archer - well done Jonathon 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks Helen J Club Secretary

Don’t forget it’s also the AGM tomorrow in the club house after the evenings sessions 💚💙
