Club Championship 2009/10: this year's winners were Keith Dunning and Nicola Dicks. Handicap winners were Andy Stalley and Ruth Cottam. Age-graded winners were Bill Walsh and Nicola Stevenson. Well done to all in some very close fought competition, some of which went right down to the wire.

Quiz night at Croygas: the next quiz is Fri 24 Sep, £12 for a team of 6 (max). There is also a curry night and quiz once a month - £5 for a meal, quiz and a drink.

 

This site is for members and non-members alike. Hopefully you'll find some useful information within these pages whether you're with or without us. Although most of the results listed in the right hand pane are focussed on members' performances, there are many links to the full results of races as well.
If you're not a member - have you thought about joining a club? It can offer you some benefits:

training advice
cheaper race entries - save £2 or more on road race entry fees when you're a member of an affiliated club. Entry to league and most of the championship cross-country events is even cheaper - we pay your entry fee!
discounts in some of the better sports shops - 5 to 10% on production of your membership card
like-minded people to train with on those cold, wet nights, and even the warm and dry ones as well
