Awards Night – Tickets On Sale Now!

Christmas Party –
Wednesday 16th December

Join us from 8:00pm on Wednesday 16th December for festive fun with 26.2! We will have an evening of exciting team challenges to take part in. The challenges will remain a mystery until the night but expect something like a pub quiz but without too much general knowledge. There will be some traditional quiz type rounds but others you would not expect…

The night will be hosted on a zoom call using breakout rooms for your team challenges. The call will be open from 8pm to allow for some welcome chat. The challenges will be shown on the club website so make sure you (or at least some people in the team) have a device that you can use to see the internet as well as being able to use Zoom.

Please register in advance here! You can specify team members or request to be put into a team. Small teams may be merged and large teams may be split.

More details will be published here.

Captains BBQ

Just a reminder to all that this Sunday (21st) is the Captains BBQ at the Berrylands Scout hut on Sterling Walk. As usual the club will be supplying the meat, veggie and vegan mains, bread rolls and condiments, if you want salads, desserts and drink you will need to supply your own. To protect our amazing planet and to reduce waste, we’d like to ask people to bring their own reusable plates, cutlery and cups where possible (although we will have a limited range of extras on standby).

Grant will be lighting the BBQ around noon and all are welcome from noon onwards with food being served from around 1pm. Once everyone has had their fill we will commence with the usual fun and games of the Tug-O-War, Welly Wanging and maybe a 3 legged race or two. The afternoon usually starts to wind up around 5pm

Please bring the family for a fun afternoon (No running involved) and if you’re unsure of where the scout hut is situated see -> here <-for a map.

I would also like to thank both Bev and Grant in advance for offering their culinary skills once again and I look forward to a fun afternoon with the best running club in Surbiton.

Post marathon social

In line with club tradition, we will be holding a gathering in the club bar from 6pm on the evening of the Sunday 28th April.

It’s a great chance to show off your marathon medal if you have one from this season and share your stories. The club will be providing pizza to help replace those lost calories from all of you who ran and all who spectated (because we all know supporting can be just as exhausting!).

See you there!
