We are a very enthusiastic, and friendly group of people who love running and enjoy the company of other runners. We have a good balance between all types of runners, fast and slow, old and young, male and female, experienced and newcomers. Those of us who joined quite recently have found it a very friendly atmosphere. We have plenty of activities to suit all tastes. As well as the regular club runs, our members and teams enter and organise various competitions through the year. We always have runners entering the London Marathon and we make sure that all running events are combined with proper social events; we have sometimes been called a drinking club with a running problem. Currently we have nearly 70 members of whom about 10 - 20 turn up regularly for club runs.
