For those not on FB Some members have commented that it would useful to know the number of spaces left on each official club session before booking. Something we will look to address moving forward. In the interim I will where possible provide manual session availability updates on both a Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime on FB and the website. Hope this helps. Thanks Andy J

For those not on FB Stockton Town FC For those Striders using the clubhouse. In lieu of recent government covid announcements members are now expected to wear face masks in all areas of the clubhouse except when sat at tables. To avoid congregating at the bar there is now a full table service in operation for ordering food and drinks. There is also the facility to ‘check in’ for those with the NHS track and trace app. Alternatively members will be expected to sign in manually for track and trace purposes. Thanks Andy J

England Athletics Guidance Update: As a result of the new restrictions outlined yesterday by UK government, England Athletics have confirmed that guidance for OUTDOOR club and group activity as well as all types of OUTDOOR competitions for athletics and running is not affected. Good news for us at Striders. Our test and learn programme will continue under existing arrangements unless revised guidance is issued in the interim. Thanks Andy J
