Please quote ‘subs’ as the reference when making payment. Thanks Andy J

For those not on FB Message from Sam Johnston Evening all, Those of you who have took part in the York 10 mile/marathon before know that we usually go out for a meal after to cap the day off and celebrate everyone’s achievements. We’re looking to do the same again this year. The last couple of times we’ve been to Borges and it’s worked well so we’ve decided to select there again. If you are interested in coming along, can you please comment below on this post. If you are interested can I ask that you get in touch before Monday 13th September. Just to confirm, the meal will be Sunday 17th October at 7pm. Please note - no need to comment if you have already done so on FB.…

For those not on FB Hi all Please remember - tonight’s track sessions meet at trackside rather than in front of the college. The rationale being it will save time. If the green coloured side gate is locked go into the clubhouse and turn right past the changing rooms following the path until to you see the track. Still some availability on the 7-8 session for those that fancy it. Booking as always via MagnaPass please. Going to be a warm one again so please bring fluids too. Thanks Andy J

For those not on FB Tonight’s sessions All groups warm up on the grass in front of the college tonight at 630 prompt. Top tip - bring some water to drink, it’s a hot one 🌞 Thanks Andy J
