2. 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.

3. 🎄 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.
