As many of you probably know, after 3.5 years, I am stepping down as Club Captain and from the Committee. The Bulletin was weekly for over 2 years before moving to Monthly, in that time I have written over 120 Bulletins. Thank you to all those who have provided support and to Arthur for sending it out. Special thanks to the 23 Leaders, without whom Thursday would not be possible, and to the two Coaches (Hannah & Nick W) without whom we would not have a Tuesday night session.

- 3-Way Mob Match
A mob match with a twist! This time it’s a 3-way match vs Chepstow and Bitton on Thursday 25th May @ 7:00pm start over the Severn Bridge (parking details to follow). Please sign up as we need to know names to allocate numbers with timing chips. If you sign up and subsequently find you cannot take part please e-mail captain@thornburyrunningclub.co.ukotherwise the club will be charged for your chip. What is a mob match? – In a mob match every runner counts, as everyone finishing receives a score. If there are 90 runners the first in scores 90, second scores 89 down to 90th scores 1 point. All the points are added up and the winner is the team with the most points.
