New South East Area Organiser

Brian Corbett joined us for last night’s runs. He’s the new South East Area Organiser for WRN and also for the new Run in England project. I really appreciated his input (and I think LC, KB and DG all did too) – especially as he had to drive home to Cambridge afterwards. We should have made him run in a skirt though!

Some things that are in the pipeline:


1. Brian’s been initiating discussions that may lead to more local groups. Fareham is looking like a possibility which would be great for some members as an alternative/addition to Eastleigh WRN (your membership would cover both groups). If it does happen, I’ll be asking nicely if the new group has an evening that’s not Monday for its runs!

2. Improvements to the WRN website. Brian seemed to keen to have a look at our blog.

3. Training for new organisers has been reviewed. It’s now a one day course plus a first aid course. If anybody would like to do the training, please let me know as the group will fund you to do so.

4. I did raise the thorny issue of membership renewal dates as I know that it can be galling for those who join after March to enjoy fewer months of membership but at the same price level…

We all ran really well last night – hope nobody’s aching too much today.
