The Wheatsheaf has been recommended by a number of club members and every Thursday the landlord puts on several different curry choices and will even cook up one specially for you if you ask him nicely! I'd be grateful if you could drop me an email or telephone call if you're coming so that I can give the landlord a rough idea of numbers. Many thanks.

The Hampshire League kicks off the Cross Country season at Farley Mount Winchester. Ladies start at 13:25, Men at 14:30. The races are free but this course will require a small fee for parking to the scouts to help with their funds and to alleviate the cost of the race. The same clubs that run the RR10 run in the Hampshires so you’ll be in familiar company. |

As you all know we are not allowed to run at our own event, so there is always that gap at the end of the season when you say, "I ran all the RR10's this year". On Wednesday 29th July there is an opportunity to run our course as several Stubbies will be meeting at Manor Farm Country Park to run it. This is not instead of the usual Wednesday meet at Crofton but an alternative. If you want to complete the set meet at the top field for a 6.45 start. | ||
