Introducing our new Welfare Officer - Pam Beattie
Further to my recent email to all members introducing myself as the Welfare Officer for EGRC, this is a more personal introduction to give you all some background on how my previous roles and responsibilities both professionally and socially fit in to this role.
Although I am now retired, the majority of my working life was spent in Training and Human Resources, working for the Military, Public and Private sectors.
I was very much a couch potato until later life, when I became involved in Dragonboat racing by default. Which is too long a story to tell you here! I loved the sport, the team spirit, and the competition and worked hard to compete at both National and International level. I also trained as a Dragonboat helm and coach, and coached both adults and children in Dragonboat Racing. When I retired from Dragonboating in 2008, I didn’t want to lose my fitness so took up running, competing in my first half marathon in 2008. I wanted to improve on my running and after looking around and visiting a couple of running clubs I found EGRC in 2015. The welcome I received from members on that first visit was friendly, supporting and encouraging and has continued to be the case. I’ve become a Leader in Running Fitness and enjoy working with all the members.
It was that friendly and encouraging welcome that persuaded me to work with the Committee, members and guests to continue to build on our existing culture where our members and guests feel welcome, safe, included and supported. I hope I can rise to the challenge.

If you do have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me in the first instance via email:

Play safe and Stay safe everyone, and hopefully in the not to distant future we can meet and race as a club once again.

Cherry and Almond flapjacks
This months recipe is brought to you from Debra Parsons. These make tasty pre-or post-run snacks. Cherries are packed with polyphenols that have powerful anti-oxidant properties and promote recovery after hard exercise. They also add vibrant colour to the flapjacks. Almonds are great sources of protein and calcium.
Managing feelings about coming out of Lockdown
Deb has also suggested a link that might be of interest to running club members on the Mind website. The webpage explains feelings people might have coming out of lockdown and tips on managing these feeling and where to go for support.
