I hope you have all had a good Easter weekend and have enjoyed running, cycling or walking in the glorious sunshine as well as all the Easter eggs.

We don’t normally start the pub runs until after the London Marathon but the weather has been so good the last few days we just had to start early. Virtual pub run bingo starts today, see post few further details.

This week we also had race 3 of the SD champs with the 3k TT and had another great turnout.

Some of us attended a webinar from England Athletics which was a presentation on how to keep members running during the current lockdown and WRC and in particular the SD champs was recognised as best practice. Thanks to Scott Darney for running with this.

Self Isolation & support

If you are in self isolation and need some support please reach out to WRC, I am sure all members would be happy to help. There is also a post from Jason and Jo, our welfare reps on the website

Social Distancing (SD) Champs Race 3

Race 3 of the SD champs was a 3k time trial with 65 members taking part. Results and standings after three races are on the website. The next race will be 5 Miles starting on Thursday 23rd April to Sunday 26th April

Good Friday Easter Pub Quiz 

Thanks and well done to James Attenborough for organising and hosting the pub quiz which had a great turnout and some good interaction via messenger. Who knew there were 80 routes on the website? Not me.

Photo Competition

Entries closed on Sunday. Look out for results.

Food bank donation

Thank you to the members who generously donated to the food bank collection which has been added to those who donated their EA over payment. We have already collected well over £100 and will be making the first donation shortly.
