Thank you for interest in our club as a new member, possible new member or
friend . I hope you find the following information useful. Club vests (red and
green explaining the banner colours) and athletics equipment and clothing are
obtainable from Pete Bland Sports or visit their website from April
onwards. The magazines Athletics Weekly, Running Fitness and Runner's World are
useful sources of information about all aspects of athletics and are obtainable
or can be ordered from most newsagents. The Fell Runner’s Association
(FRA) also provide a very comprehensive results and calendar service. If you
are interested in joining the FRA please again contact Pete Bland Sports or
their web site in our fixtures section. There are also an increasing number of
other web sites with fixture calendars which we also have links to in our
fixtures section.
Although we are a fragmented club we do have a lot to offer regarding variety
and expertise, as long as you are able to make the right contacts. Should you
need any help or guidance I will try and point you in the right direction.
Best Wishes
