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 event that a small contingent of members made the most of this weekend. Well done for getting out there and putting yourself to the test! 🙌👏
🏃♂️ Hooky 6 – Alan Bowen, Nigel Lambert
If I missed you, do let me know and share your pics with me!
☀️ 🏃♂️🍻 Next summer social run
The next summer social run will be on Thursday 14th August and will be in Duns Tew, with food and drinks afterwards at The White Horse Inn.
After a bit of back and forth with the pub, they seem to be happy not to take pre-orders and have also not been forthcoming with a menu, so it’s going to be a case of rock up and have a drink and see what there is to eat!
🏃♂️🏁 Alchester 5k
The Alchester 5k is just 2 days! 🥳 If you’re running or marshalling, you should have received all the details via email – if not, check your spam or let me know!
The 5k is very popular and sold out in super quick time once again. Not only is it a great, fast course, it has also been complimented for the cheerful, encouraging marshals, so marshals please bring your supporting A-game once again!
The race makes a small profit which helps keep membership fees down but we also donate some of the profits to local charities. We’d also like to invite the marshals to join us in the bar after for a drink on us as a thank you!
