🗣️ Members WhatsApp Group
After gathering feedback from you, we are delighted to let you know that we have setup an Alchester Members WhatsApp group. This group will be used to communicate key messages to members, however, key messages will continue to be communicated via email and the Facebook group, so if you’d rather not join the group then you’ll still get the info!
The members WhatsApp group is part of the Alchester WhatsApp community and I will post a video into the WhatsApp group in the next week or so explaining how to use the group and where it fits within the community and where/how/what you’ll receive certain messages.
Join the WhatsApp group here.
As part of our communications review, we have now also decided to decommission our use of Spond, so we will no longer be using it!

This week’s Club Night Details
In terms of what’s going on at club nights this week, the details are as follows:
Tuesday 23rd September
⏰ 18:55 meet for a 19:00 start
📍 Gavray Drive, the railway track end – here
🏃🏃♀️ 10-12 x bridge reps. All will be explained on the night if you’re not sure!
Thursday 25th September

🏃♂️ Various pace groups will take in a variety of routes around the ring road aiming to get back at the same time
🔦🦺 Be seen, be safe. As the nights are drawing in, it is worth thinking about what you wear to ensure that you’re visible but that you can also see on your runs, especially with the ring road light lottery. So do think about wearing hi visibility clothing and bringing torches in the coming weeks!
That’s all for now! Have a great week.
