Hi All

ONE LAST PUSH – We have room for a few more in the Bus’s and in the apartments!!

If you can come let me know, places in events can be obtained if needed as i am in the know if they say FULL!!!!

Update on numbers:

Jason & Elaine Brogan with Alicia and Anna- Kids, 5k, Half Marathon & Marathon

Jackie Ellison and Eleanor Kenny – Kids race and 5k/Relay

Debbie & Andrew Beresford- 5k & Debbie Relay

Diane Frost- 5k & Half Marathon

Richard O’Regan (rugby permitting) – TBC

Jo Fallows- 5k & Half Marathon

Sonya Hynes – 5k & Half Marathon

4 Colleagues of Jason’s.

Lesley Loftus – If Consult will let her!!!

15 confirmed

We have a few undecided? – Take the the step and join us!!!!

We have been kindly offered 2 mini-bus’s from Richard – this worked brilliantly last ime and we a great way to travel and very cost effective about £15 each return. So very reasonable and we can travel as a group usually from 4pm onwards as everyone is ready on Friday pm, have a social weekend away (partners & children are welcome as there is a kids run Sat morn around the 5k & 10k races). Coming back Sunday evening.

All this is flexible, but a guideline. You have time on Saturday afternoon to explore and do your own thing and all get together for a meal Saturday if you wish.

We have booked some great accommodation see below, if we exceed numbers we have some extra sofa beds in each appartment so don’t worry about missing out or even bringing the youngsters as if we fill these the room rate it even less!!!!

Just to let you know it is the week after the BUPA Manchester 10k so no clashing and Track & Field Senior leagues should not clash either hopefully!!!

Sunday 25th May 2014 – Can be 15yrs plus

We now have a Marathon Relay Team booked in – Jackie and I, plus room for 2 more to join the team!!!!

Leg 1: The Royal Leg – 8.3 miles

Leg 2: The Cock & Pan Leg – 5.5 miles

Leg 3: The Gosford Leg – 8 miles

Leg 4: The Glory Leg – 4.4 miles

Sorry forgot to say there are TWO YOUNGSTERS RACES on the SATURDAY so Families very welcome.
