The Introduction to Running Course has been a great way for the Club to support people who are keen to start running, promote running in the local community and attract new members. We need your help please. The next Introduction to Running Course is taking place over 8 weeks on Wednesdays from 22nd April to 10th June at 6:45pm from TLC car park. If you are able to support the next course on 2 or 3 evenings that would be great. We need 2 or 3 people each week.
Any questions please contact: Carol Mosses beginners@

Please fill in this form so that I can put together the rota. Without your help it is not possible to run the course. Participants are always very grateful for the support (as am I!)
