Thanks to the committee for organising the social run at Duns Tew last week.
Here are this week’s key Alchester updates for you.
🏅 Medal Monday
Congratulations to everyone who took part in Headington 5 on Sunday, especially:
Stephanie Giles 🥈lady
Edwina Colclough 🥇VL40
If we’ve missed you in other races and/or you have photos to share, please get in touch with Sarah Morley.
🪳❗️Lyme Disease
Unfortunately one of our members has contracted Lyme disease. This is caused by being bitten by an infected tick, and likely happened at a session at Whitelands one Tuesday evening. See https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/lyme-disease/ for more info. You can use insect repellant or wear long trousers to minimise the chances of being bitten. Take care out there, especially when hitting the trails!
