Training Nights Spring/Summer 2009.

This is to confirm that the Monday and Thursday club running nights will continue throughout the summer months.  I will take into consideration those members who are training for marathons and also members who are not running a marathon and want a good run.  The summer months and holiday season I know numbers can get depleted, but I will be down to ensure we all get a good run.

I trust those of you who are doing marathons do well and all who go on holiday have a good time. 

Look forward to seeing you all on Monday and Thursday  evenings and safe running.
