Other News
Club member Bill Phillips has the following message with regards to next Saturday's parkrun:
I hope to be at Dishley next Saturday for my 250th Park Run, following in the footsteps of Dawn Storer but much more slowly!
Only another 250 runs before I get the next T-shirt !!!
It would be great if as many of you as possible can turn out at Dishley to support Bill.
