Rhayader is one of the traditional club trips to Wales.
The 20 miler takes place in the afternoon of Saturday 4th March. If you’ve not heard about Rhayarder, it’s a tough (ok, very tough) yet stunning route in the countryside of the Elan Valley. For more information, check out their website. http://rhayaderac.org.uk/roundthelakes/index.php
Like this year, we are planning on taking a mini bus up on the Friday and staying for 2 nights at The Elan Valley Hotel.
The hotel is now provisionally reserved for us for the weekend, so if you are interested in going, can you let either Paul Viney or Emma Livermore know (as Kelly has handed it over to us for this year) so we can start gathering names.

This year is the thirtieth anniversary of the Poole Runners Christmas Barn Dance. It will be held on Wednesday 21st Dec, (the year’s longest night) at the Junction Sports Centre, with the fantastic Black Sheep providing the music as usual. We have a shortened run first ,usually the bottom loop of the figure of eight. This saves energy for the dancing. All welcome. Please pay £3 per head on the door to help pay for the Band.
Members are asked to bring buffet food to be shared amongst everyone. It’s usually a wonderful evening.

Santa Hat Run - everyone welcome!
2016-12-18 10:00 - 12:00 | Corfe Castle
Hi all, Mel and I thought it would be nice to plan something festive for the last Sunday before Christmas! The plan is to meet at 10am at the foot of Corfe Castle, park in the lay by or in the national trust car park over the road, wear a Santa hat, for a fun run led by Geoff Scott or others. We will run/walk/take pics for an hour / hour and a half, then drive to the Half Way Inn for drink / food as people wish (diners should call and book maybe?). This is open to all local runners – it will be very social – no one will be left behind – I cant imagine we will do any more than 7 miles! If you are interested, please click the GOING or INTERESTED button on this facebook event, or email me on rolphs@hotmail.com or text me on 07905 183870.
