the fellowship becomes. If you decide not to race, please advise the selectors
of your intentions prior to race days.

Members may or may not wish to participate in these events, so there will always
be pack runs arranged for those not wishing to race. If you have some doubts regarding
these events, don't hesitate to ask a more experienced runner for information.
You will find that a considerable cross section of runners of varying abilities
participate in these events. A good turnout of members indicates a strong, healthy
club.

relating to runs and races. Events will be held wet or fine,

that time, therefore members are requested to assemble at 1.45pm
to run at the set time.
