Bag packers needed for Toby fundraising

11891392_10207400792720819_5893291800254794351_oAs most of you know we have been supporting St Oswald’s Hospice for the last few years. We have been offered the chance to do a bag packing session at Asda Benton on Saturday 16 July from 10am-1pm (after the Rising Sun Parkrun!) and 1pm-4pm. The money raised would go towards our Toby fund for this year. We are aiming to £30,000 in total over the last nine years.

Bag packs can raise hundreds of pounds in just a few hours if we get plenty of tills covered between us. The time goes really fast, especially on a Saturday when it’s busy, and people are really friendly and generous.

It would be a great opportunity to raise even more money for St Oswald’s and to promote our club in the local community.

If you (seniors and juniors) are interested and can spare some time (even if it’s just an hour), please could you let me or Kev know asap.

Thank-you!

Elaine

BLAYDON RACES INFO

blaydonJust a reminder that there is no club tomorrow (Thurs 9th June) due to Blaydon Races.

After the race it is tradition to meet in the pub afterwards. This year we’re going to the Old George, just a stone’s throw away from where we get off the coaches.

Good luck everyone running tomorrow. Hope to see plenty of supporters on the course too.
