- Club Kit
A BIG thank you to Kev Cundy who has been managing the club kit for many years now and is in the process of handing the role over to Carol Mosses. Thank you to Carol for agreeing to take on the role too. If you want any kit please contact kit@thornburyrunningclub.co.uk and let us know what you want (short sleeved T-shirt or vest), size (a sizing guide is available and sent to everyone in their Welcome e-mail) and when you are available to collect. And , of course, make the payment on-line. We are about to do a restocking order so please let us know what you need. Also remember we have branded TRC kit (hoodies, jackets etc.) available directly from Linela (not Carol) in Olveston which is made to order.
