1. Race Planning Group Meeting

We have an offer of a new Race Director for the club’s 3rd race.  In light of this there will be an impromptu mini meeting for after club this week, 5th November – just 15 minutes to introduce and get a team together for all those who have been interested in helping with race organisation.

2. Gloucester Cross Country League

Only two left but you can still join in the fun by entering any or all of the remaining fixtures as an individual event as below.  And remember, if you clock up 3 appearances you will be awarded a TRC branded waterproof kitbag – while stocks last!  Now that must be worth running for.

Sunday 13th December – University of Bath – including County Championships

Saturday 27th February – Pittville Park, Cheltenham

3. 19th November Club Night

As our normal room is not available we are trying out a new venue at:-

The Yard at No. 8 on the High Street

The Yard at No. 8 will provide some boxes that we can put property in for safe storage while we run and they will reserve us some space for afterwards. They will be open for tea, coffee, beer and pizzas from their usual menu – no expectation that we need to buy anything.

4. 🎄 TRC Xmas Lights Run & Food – 7pm Thursday 10th December 🎄

Come along to Thornbury Cricket Club for a shorter festive run around the Christmas lights, followed by an optional shower and curry back at the club. 🏃✨🍛

💷 Please note there is a £6 contribution towards the meal this year. Due to lower income from our three races in 2026, the Club can’t cover the full food cost as in previous years.

TRC will cover the remainder, with drinks at your own cost.

Chicken and vegetable curry will be available, with vegetarian/vegan requirements catered for via the form.

Please sign up AND pay by 4th December.
