We're back at Manzil Way! Great to return to the Garden Cafe last week. But this week and next (Sept 11th & 18th) they'll be closed for other events, so we'll seek coffee elsewhere after our run. Meeting is at Manzil Way though, 10am as usual.

We're running as usual from Manzil Way at 10am next week 17th July. After that for six weeks we're running in other lovely places outside Oxford. Back to Manzil Way September 4th. Contact us if you want to know more.
