The most recent Government directives for Lockdown2 mean we will not be able to meet on a Tuesday or Thursday for 4 weeks from 5th November as we must all ‘Stay at Home’ (subject to this being ratified by MP’s this week)
‘Stay at Home’ means you must not leave or be outside of your home except for specific purposes. This includes exercise outdoors with the people you live with, with your support bubble or, when on your own, with 1 person from another household.
Full details are here…

1. Leaders & Asst Leaders.
Kevin Wood has recently sent out a request to find more Leaders & Assistant Leaders as we get more people back on a Tuesday & Thursdays we need more Group Leaders. The ‘Leader in Running Fitness’ (LIRF) courses are now all done on-line but EA have a backlog until Xmas and are not accepting any more LIRF course applications until January. However if you would like to volunteer to be an Assistant Leader then please see Kevin.
2. Bath Virtual Series
Entries to the Bath Virtual Series are open now – 5k, 10k and half marathon (14/3/21). If we get enough club entries Kevin Wood suggests we organise some socially distanced pace groups for the virtual event (depending what rules apply in March 2021) including a walking group. https://bathhalf.co.uk/virtual-series/
3. New paths to run in Thornbury
Just off Morton Way near the underpass the new tarmac paths that have been fenced off for ages are now fully open and they are a great new place to run. The paths cross two bridges between the new houses as well as skirting the new football pitch and follow an undulating course that can probably be made into a nice 5k route.
4. EA Membership Fees
Thanks to everyone who has now paid. We have now recouped the £10 advance fees that the Club paid for each Member.
5. Next TRC Committee Meeting
The first meeting of the new Committee is on Monday 9th November – if any Members have any issues or suggestions to put to the Committee please see the Secretary Nigel Hale (nigelhale@blueyonder.co.uk)
That’s all for this week but we will keep you advised if anything changes. If you have anything to add or any suggestions or announcements please send by e-mail to trc@rensh.idps.co.uk
