Monday 11th

Fun Run planning meeting. The Fun Run is just 7 weeks away (June 28th) and there’s a fair amount of prep to get things done. Veteran tabler Malc Newman’s been involved for a good few years so things are pretty slick, but as with last week’s comedy night there’s still plenty of tasks to be shared out. Tonight 5 of us meet up to see where we are with planning, and what’s still to be done. This year we are offering 250 free places to children. This is in support of the Government’s ‘Change 4 life’ campaign, and has been possible through sponsorship from Stafford and Surrounds Commissioning Group and South Staffordshire PCT. The front page of the web-site (www.penkridgeroundtable.co.uk) shows how many free places are left – so don’t delay if you’ve not registered!
This year we also have a minor change to the route; instead of running down by the brook we will divert off New Road earlier, into Croydon Drive. The good news is that we’ve checked, and the route is still the same distance. We’ve had to make the change due to the numbers of runners; the narrow path by the brook meant that runners were bunching and unable to keep their pace. Time to get in training.
