————————————————————————————-

  1. Hi-Viz tops and Head Torches

For safety reasons we would like everyone to wear Hi-Viz tops and carry a head torch. (we usually have a few spares on Club night if you forget you hi-viz top.)

  1. Run & Rehydrate – The Swan Thursday 7th November 20:15 – 22:30

We usually do these in the Summer so this will be a test of going out for a normal Thursday night run but then showering at the Leisure centre and then going to the Swan on the High Street for food and drink at about 20:15. The food at 21:00 will be chilli with garlic bread (including a vegetarian chili option) with first drink all paid for by the Club. All Members are invited. Here is the Google form to confirm your attendance https://forms.gle/QyRndsYcgLv7qQuV9

Note: we can’t use the Leisure Centre before our run so turn up in the top car park at 19:00 ready to run in your usual groups. We can use the showers & changing after we return.

  1. Oldbury 10 Mile £50 draw for Volunteering

From the draw made on Thursday night the winner of the £50 is Richard Jackson

  1. TRC Race Series 2025

We will be launching the TRC 2025 Race Series on 6th October. All 3 races will be open for entries from 6th October.

  1. New TRC Running Kit is here

Scimitar running kit

If you would like to order one of our Scimitar running tops, with our new logo, please use this form which contains photos and details:- https://forms.gle/5HUA56Mi4dGkvbgN6

We have stock available for Short Sleeve and Long Sleeve T-Shirts, Men’s Vests, and Women’s Slouch. In a change to previous announcements we ordered stock of the Long Sleeve T-Shirts which contain reflective seams and tab as these would make a great winter training top.

Requested items for non-running clothing comprising of jackets, hoodies, and track pants are now available. See Mel Wilson to collect your orders.

  1. A Group to organise Social activities for the Club

We now have a group Leader but are still looking for a small Team of 2 or 3 people to organise some social functions including the Annual Dinner and other social activities. If you are interested in helping please make yourself known to Matt Johnstone or any Committee Member.

  1. New Beginners Course

The Introduction to Running Course has been a great way for the Club to support people who are keen to start running, promote running in the local community and attract new members. We need your help please. The next Introduction to Running Course is taking place over 9 weeks on Wednesdays from 16th Oct to 11th Dec at 6:45pm from TLC car park. If you are able to support the next course on 2 or 3 evenings that would be great. We need 2 or 3 people each week. Your support is very much appreciated. Please complete the Google form below to let me know the dates you can do. Please can you also share the advert and link which has been sent to all WhatsApp groups to encourage people to sign up for the course.
