Hi all As it’s holiday season we will couple June and Julys subs together. This means members will receive emails in early August showing amounts owed for June and July. Thanks Andy J
Weeds on the track
Hi all I emailed the school about the number of weeds on the running track last night. They replied saying their maintenance contractor spryed weed killer on the track yesterday morning. Hopefully that will do the trick…… Andy J
Stewart Park – race league
From Sam Johnston It was another great turnout this morning for our rearranged league race at Stewart’s Parkrun this morning. 300 runners in total and I think Striders were up there as the most represented club! 3 striders placed in the top 10, including a debut appearance and 1st place for Tom Marrs. I am taking some of the credit for this as I ran a warm up lap with him so he knew where he was going! There were PB’s a plenty with Gareth, Phil, John, Emma and Michelle all picking up new ones. Also picking up a new best was Chloe, fresh off the back of her Edinburgh half win. The adoring crowds were treat to a course PB 👍. After the run, the members got to meet…

League Race Amendment
Message from Sam Johnston Hi All, As most have been told now the Dalton Park 5 mile has been rescheduled from next Monday to a date in August. Therefore, we are having to remove this from the club league. We have found an alternative race (although if this one gets cancelled too we are giving up!🤣) The Lambton 10km takes place on Sunday 26th June and will now feature on our league. The profile of the course fits the one of Dalton Park so we feel this is a suitable replacement. The Stewart’s Parkrun league race scheduled for Saturday 25th June will therefore be brought forward to Saturday 4th June. Thank you
Sunday Track Availability
The running track adjacent to the club at Our Lady & St Bede School is now available for members use on Sunday mornings from 0900-1200. We plan to trial this arrangement for 6 weeks to gauge the level of usage. To help cover the £20 weekly Sunday hire charge we are asking members to pay £1 each Sunday they use it. We will operate our usual booking system via Magnapass and payments owed will be added to monthly subscriptions. Bookings will be split into 3 one hour slots 9-10, 10-11 and 11-12. Members booking are not restricted to one slot (ie you can book all 3 hours if you are feeling particularly energetic and still only pay £1). Each slot will accommodate up to 20 members. Bookings will be available…

Payment not needed until delivery. Tea night too tonight after sessions, and I’m fairly certain there will also be biscuits. Thanks Andy J
