Hi everyone
A short update to let you all know the achievements that have been noted from the start of the year to the end of March.
Our fabulous club and our wonderful members have donated a considerable amount to the DEC Ukraine Appeal. We held a QRC bonus ball to raise funds for the appeal and after the Club kindly took the paypal costs and some of the prizes were donated back we were able to raise £360. There was a collection at the end of month steady run which raised £60 which the Club then matched making the donation £120 which gives a total of £480.
In the running achievements we have seen many members placed in the top three of their age categories, in the overall top 10 finishers at events, Club records being set and broken and new personal best times, finishers at marathons and ultra marathons.
Last weekend although not in quarter one of the year we had a fantastic turn out (20-25) to the Wensleydale Wander 12 and 23 miler. This is held by the rotary club and is a circular route from Leyburn. These type of events are great, they have a very generous time limit and you can run or walk. Around half of us walked the shorter route together and thoroughly enjoyed the day, chatting and catching up with each other as we went. On arrival back at the school we started from we had the option of 6 different soups, a choice of bread rolls followed by a slice of cake. If you have the opportunity to enter one of the LDWA or Rotary events they are highly recommended. They are really well organised and usually they feed you at the end and often at some of the checkpoints.
