  1. Club Xmas Lights Run & Food – Thursday 16th December

Those new to the club may not be aware of the Club traditional ‘Xmas Lights Run’, where all groups run together to see the Xmas lights followed by food at Thornbury Cricket Club. We meet at Thornbury Cricket Club and run at 7:00 pm on a route Steve Dimond has designed around Alveston. When we get back to the club house there are showers before food is served. The food is provided free to club members, but we need to know if you will be attending and about any dietary needs or food allergies. The clubhouse also has a cash bar.

Please complete the following poll to let us know you are coming and about your dietary needs or food allergies. Xmas Lights Food   Please complete this poll by Friday 3rd December at the latest.

We ask members not to enter the event but there may be roles that can be completed in advance, allowing some people to enter.
