Race Against Time (5th September 2023)
23 members thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of guessing how long it would take them to run 5k on an off road route, and then trying to match that time without a watch to help them! Most ran faster than they guessed due to the good conditions underfoot.
A lovely supper of sandwiches and chips was enjoyed by all at the Royal Oak Hotel afterwards.
A huge thank you to Phil for the idea, Frank for organising and Jonathan, Gordon, Bryony and Jim for their help with time keeping. Also thanks must go once again to the Royal Oak who always put on such a great spread!
