2. Are We Nearly There?

The number of Club members (and their non-member partners!) signing up to support the Club through marshalling at the Riverbank Rollick continues to grow, thank you. I will get back to all volunteers once I have enough people to allocate roles, please save the date – Sunday 14^th January. We still need more marshals and have yet to hear from a great many members. This year we are implementing a race ‘cut off time’ which should reduce the time people are required to marshal for. It only takes 60 seconds to sign up and join the team. I would like to have all marshal positions sorted by the end of November please, as there is a lot to do in the final countdown to the event. Marshalling is fun and allows the Club to fund events – pizza, drinks, chilli, XC, CWR etc. We need marshals to run this event safely and not to lose any runners! Thanks again. ->  RR Link for everyone

5. Rollick Gets Bigger – a message from Race Director Kevin Wood.

For 2024 we have expanded the Rollick entries to 450 and need your help to run the events safely and effectively, the Rollick needs a lot of marshals due to the nature of the course. Marshalling is also fun! The cake stall will be run this year by and for Friends of Castle School, so everyone in the Club can marshal the course.

Each year we organise three events from which we plan to make a surplus to fund. If you have eaten pizza and had a drink at ‘Run & Rehydrate’, had your X-Country entry paid, had your EA membership subsidised, had a % T-shirt etc you have benefited from this.

Please can everyone reply using the link below so we know who has seen this request and can follow up with anyone who has not responded. Thank you in anticipation for volunteering to marshal. RR’24 Call for Marshals

1. Club Night Runs in the dark

As it is now dark when we return from our Thursday run we strongly recommend that all runners and walkers wear a Hi Viz top and carry a head torch. Everyone please take extra care when running alongside and/or crossing roads and make sure you can be seen by car drivers.

Nathan is collating a guide for our new members of light torches “recommended by our members” If you’re happy with what you are using and feel it is worthy of a recommendation then please send an email with make and model to Treasurer@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk We will also use the feedback to get some club “spares” for our members to trial.

Hopefully this will be rescheduled before Xmas.  Look out for a new date.
