  1. TRC Membership Fees for 2026/27

It is over 5 years since we increased or Membership Fees. After a review of income & expenditure we need an increase to cover our basic core expenses such as the hire of the Leisure Centre room, the website, England Athletics affiliation and coach and run leader training etc. Full Membership will go up by £5 to £30 and other Membership categories will also increase by £5. 

We will continue to subsidize England Athletics(EA) Membership by £12 with the Member paying the balance of £11. As an encouragement for Members to complete an EA Coaching or Leadership course the Club will subsidize the full EA fee of £23.

Full details of all the Membership fees are to follow.

  1. RIVERBANK ROLLICK 2026 – 18th January 10:30 Start

We are now 2 months away from the Rollick, and already have 280 entries ! Many of last year’s marshals will marshal again (it shows how enjoyable it is !), but we do have a number of vacancies. Therefore, if you are available to help and didn’t help last year, please complete the form https://forms.gle/1zwpivDerbWnaqTJ7 .  We can then allocate you a task depending on where the greatest need is. 

We do have a reputation of having marshals in fancy dress, so if you feel you wish to do that (it’s not mandatory), please feel free. It can be anything within reason – previous marshals have been Superman, Elvis, Clowns, Pirate, Fairy etc. and of course our infamous Mr Blobby ! Anything is great to help enthuse the runners – it really is fun to do. It’s a great thing to do and allows you to see a race from the marshals point of view. Hope to hear from you via the form. If you need to contact me direct, I am on jimgodden0@gmail.com

2. RIVERBANK ROLLICK 2026 – 18th January  

I am getting through the initial list of tasks to be completed for the Riverbank Rollick. I have emailed the Marshal Section Leaders for their confirmation of attendance, but at present we have 2 sections which need new volunteers for. These are Section 3 (Riverbank end to hill after Littleton) and Section 4 (Littleton hill to Mundy’s). These are important roles that we must have in place for the event.  The section leader role is as follows …  

  1. Collect the signs for your section from the club store at Lower Morton on the Saturday before.
  2. Put out the signs in the right place – you will be given amap !
  3. Make sure marshals in your section are in place and contactable.
  4. Collect the signs after the section is finished and take them back to the store (or Castle School).  

It is easier if you are also a marshal in your Section, but am sure we can move people around if need be.  

If you are willing to take on this role, please email me – jimgodden0@gmail.com.    

I will also be shortly sending out the general marshalling request, so hope you are all ready to sign up again !

3. RIVERBANK ROLLICK 2026 – 18th January  

I am getting through the initial list of tasks to be completed for the Riverbank Rollick. I have emailed the Marshal Section Leaders for their confirmation of attendance, but at present we have 2 sections which need new volunteers for. These are Section 3 (Riverbank end to hill after Littleton) and Section 4 (Littleton hill to Mundy’s). These are important roles that we must have in place for the event.  The section leader role is as follows … 

  1. Collect the signs for your section from the club store at Lower Morton on the Saturday before.
  2. Put out the signs in the right place – you will be given amap !
  3. Make sure marshals in your section are in place and contactable.
  4. Collect the signs after the section is finished and take them back to the store (or Castle School).  

It is easier if you are also a marshal in your Section, but am sure we can move people around if need be.  

If you are willing to take on this role, please email me – jimgodden0@gmail.com.    

I will also be shortly sending out the general marshalling request, so hope you are all ready to sign up again !

Tea Rota   

16/10 TBC 

We need some more Members to step-up to do Tea on a Thursday – looking for cover for October. 

Results:  

12/10 Gloucester Cross Country League – Nympsfield 

Wonderful start to the cross country season in fine weather with all the club tents and flags flying and plenty of encouragement all round the course.  At the time of the bulletin final results are not yet available.  They should appear here on Monday and club results and standings will be on our cross country results page soon afterwards. 

However, we can say that in the ladies race we had full teams out with Mel Wilson leading home, followed by Hannah Hamilton, Jo Plumbley, Ros Rowland and Catherine Dack.  

The men’s Over 65s started with a team and Nick Langridge led Chris Foley in but Jerry Clothier, unfortunately, had a fall and was forced to drop out.  Recover soon, Jerry.  

The men were one short of a full team (where were you all?) but did have enough vets to make up a vets team.  Matt Johnstone led early on, closely followed by Martyn Greene and Sam Baimbridge.  By lap 3 Matt was pulling away and Sam starting to find it hard going.  Meanwhile George Evans who had been trailing behind made a stronger second half and picked off Alex Golding and Sam to come third with Sam and Alex behind.  

Full results next week.  

If you now regret missing all the shenanigans of cross country and running as a team – and you should – you can still enter each of the remaining three events individually, help the teams out and still get your free waterproof duffel bag.

Oldbury 10 mile Sunday 21st September 2025 – Race Directors Report

In a marked improvement over the last two editions; participants, spectators and marshals didn’t wake up to grey clouds or torrential rain on the morning of the 2025 Oldbury 10 mile race.  It was going well so far!  However the lack of precipitation wasn’t reflected by a lack of perspiration and it is with this in mind that I want to say thank you to everyone who supported Sunday’s event.

Firstly a huge congratulations to all those who took part.  We received lots of positive feedback from the participants about the event and its organisation. We had 276 finishers with the 1st Male and Female clocking 53:31 and 59:49 respectively.  Also to recognise the following members of the club who took part;

P36 – 01:08:21 – Ali Vaz

P195 – 01:31:54 – Claire Hollingdale

Also a huge congratulations to Phil Blackburn who set a new club record in 54:34 which saw him finish 5th overall and 3rd in the Avon Championship – 10mile.

Ad congratulations to me for my contribution of getting a coffee van at the event.  I was so proud.

A lot goes on behind the scenes of these events and I want to say a massive thank you especially to Arthur, Nathan and Matt who; attained the support of the venue, timing company, managed the entries as well as countless other jobs leading up to, on the day of and following the event.  You can thank Nathan for the Jaffa cakes!  I also want to say a massive thank you to Adrian who organised the marshals as well as attaining the race licences and generally providing a huge amount of support and advice including knowing the correct number of bananas to buy within a 2% margin of error.

I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported the marshalling and all the other activities over the weekend and the letter drop last weekend.  Without your support the event really couldn’t go ahead which would be a huge detriment to the excellent contribution the club makes to its members and the community as a whole.

Thank you,    Pete (Race Director)

  1. Oldbury 10 Mile Race 21st September

Thanks to everyone who helped. The runners were very appreciative of all the Marshals out on the course. We had 374 pre-entries but despite the good weather that day we had 98 (26%) no shows leaving 276 runners who crossed the finishing line. We were very concerned about the new road works with traffic light controlled single lane working on the course. However, it did not cause any problems much to the Race Directors relief. The male & female race winner were both from Bristol & West AC – Thomas Dunford 53:31 and Deborah Bruce 59:49. Overall 15 runners went under 60 minutes including our own Phil Blackburn in 54:34

  1. Introduction to Running Course

06/09 Marathon des Chateaux du Medoc  

Moray Sloan  3603rd   6:25:00 

Moray’s Run Report: 

Many of you will know that I completed the above marathon near Bordeaux in the finely judged time of 6 hours 25 minutes (cut off is 6:30). This was position 3603/7847 – I don’t think they enforce the cut off very strictly. This amazing marathon takes in 64 local chateaux, 18 of which provide you with some red wine – so not a route for a PB! There is also plenty of food along the way including croissant, ice lollies, steak and oysters. Live music can often be heard along the way with many runners stopping for a quick dance or sing-along. Almost everyone is in fancy dress, some pushing crazy contraptions – this year’s theme was ‘the sea’ so I went as a pirate. The event is totally joyous with a very international feel and party atmosphere from the pre-race aerial acrobatic display to the post race free beer, music and fireworks. I can see why this race is on the bucket list for so many runners – if you ever get the chance to do it I highly recommend it.    Moray

 11/09 Club Road Race Championships and Pete Mainstone Challenge Event 

 30 intrepid club members braved the wet and windy weather last Thursday and completed the event.    Well done to Nick Williams and Hannah Hamilton for winning the Road Race Championships and there are new leaders in both men and women’s categories in the Pete Mainstone Challenge with Ben Bohane and Hannah Hamilton. 

 Full results can be found on the Pete Mainstone Challenge Results page of the club website. 

Park Run News 13/09:- 

 Peter Cable was second at Thornbury in 19:49. 

This week’s novelty venue was Paul Saville at Mole Valley (for anyone who remembers Richard Briers in Ever Decreasing Circles and Mole Valley Valves) in Dorking (22:46).  Mike Bennewitz was in Weymouth (28:08).  Moray Sloan fresh from the above drinking marathon was at the equally exotic Widnes (21:53).  But the winner this week for travelling to a Park Run was Kevin Arnold who went all the way to the quaintly named Sheep River near Calgary, Canada (24:28). 

Meanwhile, parkrun of the month is back.  Our next parkrun of the month will be at Chipping Sodbury on the 27th September. We are also asking members to nominate the date and location for future park runs of the month. The date can coincide with a special event e.g. birthday or milestone e.g. 100th parkrun. The location should be no more than a 30 minute drive from Thornbury. 

Please message Nathan with your suggestions.
