parkrun has arrived!

After a successful first event this morning, with 262 runners and 20 volunteers braving the elements, parkrun will be taking place in Melton Country Park each Saturday morning at 9am.  A huge thank you should go to Shane for all his efforts in making this happen, with many others making significant contributions – thank you to everyone.

For further details please see the parkrun page, including a link through to all the official information.

Also, Melton Sports are generously offering a 20% discount off non-sale items during January if you flash your parkrun barcode.

New kit now available

New design club kit (vests and t-shirts) are now available, at the introductory price of £15 per item for any orders before 1 January. After that time, the price will be equal to the cost to the club – £20 per item. For those who want to stick with the old (“retro”?) design, we still have a small stock of vests.

Jackets are also now available at £35 each and long sleeve shirts are on the way…

See the “kit” page for more details.

In addition, he will deliver purchases to Striders club runs, so if there is anything you need, give them a call.
