Social News

Hello! I’m Jules, the new Social Secretary for the club. I like running (most of the time) and I like socialising so thought I’d use my time wisely and combine the two.

Here’s a bit about me….I started running at Pomphrey Hill parkrun in 2014 and joined EGRC shortly after that. With my running buddy, Vic Burchill, we quickly moved onto 10k’s followed by a couple of half marathons and even a beginner’s triathlon last May. I’ve had a few breaks in between for some annoying bouts of shin splints but I have to say, the friends I’ve made through the club have been amazing at not only putting up with my moaning but encouraging me to keep going every step of the way.

I’ve had the pleasure of organising lots of events for all sorts of organisations in the past - schools, football clubs, workplaces and various social groups. However, I really don’t want to make any assumptions over how a large group of runners might like to party! With that in mind, I’d like to hear what you want in the way of events from your club. 

Now, I’m well known for my love of a fancy-dress outfit but realise that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so I’d like to pull together a list of suggestions from all of you. Any idea will be considered – quiz nights, runs to the pub, discos, summer sports day, BBQ’s, afternoon teas, breakfast runs, family days, competitions and, of course, the all-important Christmas party. Just be warned that I may drop a couple of fancy-dress items into one or two of the events! Please let me have your suggestions and comments using the EGRC Facebook page….and I look forward to socialising with you all in the very near future! 

Please note - we already have our first event on the calendar – be sure to save the date…..
