Training
on 26 September including coached session
Juniors/beginners/improvers 6pm at Leos
Intermediates/advanced 6:45pm at Leos for the

Message from Myra
Tuesday is the 2nd of our coached
sessions. I thought the first session
was a success and it was brilliant to see so many
people there.
If you didn't make it to the first session,
please come along this week if you can.
The session will involve a variety of reps and running drills.
Please arrive at Leo's for a 6:45 start. NB please wear hi-vis.
We're hoping David will join us for food
afterwards and be on hand to offer training advice.
