It’s the last Leisure Ctre League on Tuesday at Bryn Bach Country Park near Tredegar just off the Heads of the Valley Road. All members are encouraged to run. It’s all free, no entry necessary, just wear your number - obtainable from Syd if it’s your first ever LCL. We’re meeting at the Leis Ctre at 5.45 to share cars.

And on Thursday the excitement of another Hash run - this time organised by Lou & Mark. A mystery venue of course, and prizes and a free drink at the end. If you haven’t done a Hash before, it’s a mixture of the pleasure of trail running, the psychology of reading the minds of the trail-setters, the satisfaction of finding the correct path, the frustration when you find you’ve made the wrong route choice, the  glee of overtaking faster runners who’ve gone wrong, and the good chance of a not-so-fast runner getting home first. Be at the Leis Ctre at 6.55 ready to drive to the mystery location.

Another Rose Inn Series has come and gone and again I think we can say it has been very sucessful. This has been due to the sterling work done by the people who volunteer to help out, without them it would not happen and the club would be poorer for it. My thanks to them.
The numbers of runners were up again this year, (we struggled to cope in the car park a couple of times) and we were blessed with good weather most of the time.We experienced the joys of rural running during the fourth race when the farmer took the cows for milking at 7.30 instead of the usual 5.30 and caused mayhem on the course with runners and cows dispersing in all directions! Must mention that in next years Risk Assessment.
Congratulations go to Lou Summers, Brenda Avery & James Blore for winning their age categories ( Brenda for the third year running!). Hopefully next year will be equally as sucessfull and please keep volunteering to help out, it really is important.
