Congratulations
to Bruce Taylor who logged his 10,000th mile of running last week,
as part of a lifetime goal to run the equivalent of around the
world. At 24,980 miles, and based on the current rate of progress,
thats just another 12 years running to go apparently......till an
'end of the world party' in 2020 (all invited).
Well
done!
====================================
Steve Waites
has been busy checking out locations for a GRR road trip, and would
like to gauge interest in a trip to Groningen in the north of
Holland.
On the 21st September there will be a full marathon,
half marathon and 10K, something for everyone, and I'm sure there
will be plenty of cafe's open for those who don't even want to
run!
You can check out the city and marathon site
here and
here.The
marathon site is mostly in Dutch but there is a link down the left
hand side for "Foreign Information"
Steve has only briefly
looked into costs but the days of cheap air fares are long gone. We
can fly to Groningen directly from Aberdeen with BMI, which is part
of the attraction, and Expedia quotes flights and 3 nights in a
hotel for £330 so I guess it would be somewhere in that
region.
Can anyone interested in going please get in touch with
Steve (subsea@virgin.net)
He has also set a date for our AGM
- Thursday 17th April at 8.00pm at the usual place, Garioch Sports
Centre.
