Evening all,
Hope you had a great weekend and have had a good start to the week! Here are this week’s key Alchester updates for you.
🏅 Medal Monday 🏅
As far as I’m aware there was just the one member who took on a challenge this weekend 💪🙌
🏃♂️Littlehampton 10k – Scott Hathaway
If I’ve missed you, do let me know and if you ever have any photos for Medal Monday, please send them to me.
As well as the weekend’s exploits, a massive well done to everyone who took part in the last Mota-vation race at Stratfield Brake last Thursday. It was fantastic to see another great Alchester turnout as well as some brilliant performances – a great way to bring the curtain down on the 2025 series.
Congratulations also to the following for finishing on the podium for the series:
Steph Giles 🥈
Edwina Colclough 🥉V40
Richard Gould 🥉 V50
Nigel Lambert 🥇 V80
Ladies Team 🥉
☀️ 🏃♂️🍻 Last summer social run
The next (and last 😢) summer social run for 2025 is next Thursday 11th September and will likely be in Stratton Audley meeting the recently reopened The Red Lion, but details TBC and confirmation will be in next week’s email.
❄️🏃♀️ Club Night Changes
The time has come to change back to our Winter venues/routes, so as of week commencing 15th September (2 weeks today) we will be changing.
This means that Tuesday speed sessions will meet at 6:55 for a 7pm start at the railway end of Gavray Drive. Thursdays club run meeting point will continue to be in the car park at the leisure centre for a 7pm start, but the routes will be based around the ring road! Hands up if you’ve missed Gavray and the ring road 🙋♂️ 🙋♀️
⚽️ Fantasy Football
If fantasy football is your thing and you’d like to enter the Alchester league but haven’t yet, you can still do so here. Albeit you’ll now be playing catch up!
