Yes we know it's only July but thoughts are turning to next years T-Shirt design. It seems after 18 years the old design as 'run its course' pardon the pun admittedly in all the colours of the rainbow.Yes this will bring a tear to the eye of our more sentimental members including John Holdroyd. . Orange was my favourite as it really stood out just a pity it attracted stinging insects.
Next year we are moving to Technical T- Shirts and suggestions are requested from club members for a badge design so a chance for our budding artists to shine. The 2015 design will be selected at the AGM.

Super 8 after 10 races
Only 3 races to go. A record turnout at Westhope Cross Country (44 WVR!) brought some new names to the Super 8 league table. King and Queen stay in place for now - but can Steve and Laura maintain their lead?
