message from Kris Allen - Sunday Socials 2nd January Hi all Despite my best efforts to ignore it, Manchester Marathon looms close on the horizon 🙈. With this in mind, I’ve planned this weeks social this Sunday as a half marathon. Rather than starting from the club, we will start and finish at the Tees Barrage. Suggest we meet at the Serpentine Car Park (the one before The Talpore car park) at 08:55. Pace will be around 9 to 9 1/2 minute mile pace. As always, all welcome. If you can please comment below if you are coming so as not to leave anyone behind 🙂 See you Sunday!!

And another social run post - from Gail Robinson Social run taking place from the Talpore tomorrow (Monday) morning 9am. Nice chatty run around the Barrage. Pace will be guaranteed to be around 11-12 minute miles. Distance is only 5k, suitable for all. Don’t park in the Talpore car park, or you may get charged. use the serpentine parking spaces.

Message from Kris Allen Hi everyone and seasons greetings 🎄 Planning a social 10 mile run tomorrow morning (Monday 27th) from the club at 9 am. Pace between 9 and 9 and a half minute miles.

For those not on FB Hi all In addition to college open night (thanks Tristan) the clubhouse are also showing a Christmas movie tonight for their junior members. ‘Elf’ for those who fancy gate crashing. It’s due to start at 630, we will play it by ear in terms of how it affects pre-session meeting. Likewise Kay and Neil on door rota duties, we’ll play it by ear where you base yourselves too. It’s also free tea night and due to the Christmas movie it will be served in the hall aka dance studio (the room next door to the bar). I am reliably informed the heating will be on (unlike the AGM). And to cap it all its also committee meeting night too, 8pm start. Busy, busy. Thanks Andy…
