The next monthly club run was due to take place on Sunday 5th September but as this date clashes with the Great Scottish 10km & Half Marathon we have decided to make the Glen Fruin Relay the Club run for this month.

Please see the posters in the club to sign up for the relay which takes place on Sunday August 29th at 10am.

If there are members of the club who are not taking part in the Glasgow events & wish to organise a run for the 5th then please feel free to put the details up to arrange this.

We have been approached by 6 members of the HAC Military Band who are coming up to Helensburgh to do a concert in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society and are keen to join us for a run to see some local sights.

I have been in contact with them & arranged that we would go out on Wednesday 28th July for a run down Loch Lomondside. Planning to meet at the gates of Loch Lomond Golf club at 6.30pm & then to car share up to Tarbet to start the run at approx 7pm. Running back to the cars at the Golf Club gates is approx 12miles.

For a shorter run people could arrange to meet at Luss Car Park at 6.30pm & again car share to meet the rest of us at Tarbet Car park to start the run (this is approx 8 miles).

I am hoping that as many of the club members as possible would be able to come along as the greater the mix of runners the better as the Army runners are all of different standards & speeds! (or so I have been told!)

We may go to the Commodore after the run for a drink & maybe a bite to eat so bring some money if you want to come along to the pub!

Please note that as the Helensburgh Half Marathon falls on the Sunday date that we would normally hold the monthly Club Run there will be NO other club run this month other than this run on Wednesday 28th.

We have introduced a monthly club run. These will take place each month on the 1st Sunday after the monthly handicap at 9.30am and will be open to everyone at the club to take part in (if you can make it).

The 2nd Club run will take place on Sunday 30th May. We are planning to do a route starting from Arden Roundabout & running through both the Carrick & Loch Lomond Golf courses. I have been told that this is about 8 miles.

As there is limited parking in the lay by at the Arden Roundabout could we arrange to meet at the club house at 9.15am then we can share cars to get to the start. Aiming to start the run at 9.30am.

Bring some money with you & we could pop into Luss for a coffee afterwards…

Hope you can make it along & include the monthly Club Run into your Sunday run programme…

We have decided to introduce a monthly club run (along the same idea as David Spy’s Big Run). These will take place each month on the 1^st Sunday after the monthly handicap at 9.30am and will be open to everyone at the club to take part in (if you can make it).

 The aim of the run is to make it a social event getting everyone out starting & hopefully finishing together (although the distances that individuals run may vary) & depending where we are maybe going for a coffee & cake afterwards.

 The start points & routes will be published on the club website (check the Calendar and the Training Run posts) & on the notice board at the club house in the month before the run – so if you have any ideas for routes please let Gail Thomas know.

 The 1^st run will take place on Sunday 2^nd May & we are planning on running Liz Bowdens run around Helensburgh. (details TBA).

 Hope you can make it along & include the monthly Club Run into your Sunday run programme…
