4. Great Western Air Ambulance (GWAA) – proposed visit by TRC Members  

For the 15 or so TRC Members who expressed an interest in a visit. GWAA would like to offer them an invite-only base tour. This tour offers a unique chance to discover the lifesaving work provided. 

Attendees expect a tour of the airbase, learn about a typical day for their Critical Care Team, and potentially meet the crew and view the helicopter and critical care car up close. These events shed light on the charity’s operations, covering everything from lifesaving missions to the advanced equipment and interventions we provide.  

 GWAA have one more date on offer – 15th  October at 2PM 

Please register yourself for one of the dates. It is up to you if you want to make a donation but as a Club we donated £2,050 recently.  

5. Cross Country  

If the promise of a free waterproof duffel bag with “Thornbury Running Club” printed it isn’t enough incentive for you to do cross country you can also get free entry to the race as well.  As cross country is a team the club will reimburse the entry for anyone who turns up and takes part in the race.  So that’s a free waterproof duffel bag and a free race in a team.  What are you waiting for?  Here are the dates to join in:-  

  • 12th October – Nympsfield 
  • 1st November – Cirencester Park 
  • 14th December – Bath University 
  • 14th February – Cheltenham  

Members taking part in 3+ cross country events in a season will be given a bag for free and those who do one or two events allowed to purchase at a discount.
