An optional 5k training run on Wednesday 30th July now cancelled to enable everyone to take part in Phil Butlers alternative run - confused? There were orgionally two runs planned the same night - now there is only one - the one Phil Butler is organising from Belmont. If that's as clear as mud just ask Paul or Phil. thanks

Shobdon Cross Country 23 July 7.15pm
Next up Shobdon - the last in the wonderful Summer Season of Cross Country. The Shobdon course is an old classic - two laps - parts of it across the lanowners lawn. Please don't tap a postcode in to your Satnav - it will take you to a dead end and you will miss the start!
