New Meeting Point for Saturday Morning Club Runs @ Meeting Point
Dec 19 @ 9:15 am

We will be using a new meeting point for the start of Saturday morning club runs.

Open area on Banks Road opposite to the Pumping Station entrance. See map below

This will start with effect from this Saturday (11th July) There is an area with no houses, a turn in where people can congregate and a safer start point for moving off in a number of separated groups without the hazard of negotiating the Plough roundabout.

Club Runs start at 9.30.am.
