  1. For Sale Garmin Watch

Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS watch. I’d say a starter watch but helpful to track your speed, runs and other stats via the Garmin Express website. I bought it second hand from another club member and have since upgraded so looking to sell this one. A bargain at £15 ono. Contact Mike Bennewitz. Thanks.

  1. Surplus / old TRC kit

Following on from a lot of Members who had bought the new updated kit this year we are going to collect surplus and clean old kit and send it to Africa. If you have any kit you are wanting to get rid of then please see Pete Cable on a Thursday Club night.

  1. Subject: Possible Salt Marsh in Littleton upon Severn

This has been sent to the Club but as a Committee we have decided that it is up to individuals to determine if they wish to object.

“ We would like to draw your attention to EDF’s intentions of possibly creating a Salt Marsh over a large area of Littleton upon Severn which if goes ahead will destroy many footpaths in the area proposed. Please see more information on this link    https://www.stopthesaltmarsh.com/     This will affect your running group, especially the ‘Rollick’ we would appreciate any feedback. Thank you.   Jane and Geoff Gulliver “
