Some socialising (carb loading 😆) before the club contingent run tomorrow in this year’s half marathon from Dee Why Beach Sydney.😁🏃‍♀️

Calendar Change:
This Sunday (Aug 16th) run is from the Burnside club rooms, not Halswell

Calendar Change:
Tomorrow’s (Aug 9th) run is swapping with Aug 16th run.
We will be doing the Halswell run tomorrow

Despite this winter being busy for many members we have still been able to rustle up a few attendees to our annual mid winter lunch, again enjoyed at Tavern Harewood.
Thanks to Calvin and Geoff for organising.

A mild morning and a small group for our annual mid winter jaunt around the central city today.

We have many members who are enjoying long memberships with the club. This year Wayne is celebrating 35yrs.
Congratulations 🎊👏❤️🍾
Here are some thoughts from Wayne……🏃‍♂️‍➡️

The story begins in 91
Life for me was not much fun

My mate said, Wayne, forget the pub
Buy some shoes and come to the club

Day one was a bit of a blur
Meeting him and meeting her

The members were all very inviting
I found this to be extremely exciting

I ran with Nick and Dick and sometimes Rick
Plus, Stew and Lew to mention a few

In 93 I joined the committee
A lovely group who never get (annoyed with each other 😉)

Terry and Dave came on the scene
I had to run faster and got very lean

A number of years passed rapidly by
I’m running well, a happy guy 😁

Come 016 I was out of luck
The dog tripped me up and I said (for goodness sake my knee hurts 😉)

So there began my walking phase
Destined to last the rest of my days

Life marches on, it’s been 35 years
But any new member should hold no fears

We’re a friendly group I have to say
With smiles and laughs on every day

I thank you all whatever life sends
My magnificent group of other friends
