The 55th Annual Gloucester Christmas Morning 3 Mile Handicap Road Race will be modified this year. To avoid the hazardous crossing of the Northern By-Pass the start/finish will be changed. Still sticking to the traditional route, the start will be on the northern side of the by-pass at Longford and the finish on the south side. All local runners over 14 are welcome. Further details later will be available at http://www.severnac.com
Finally a gentle reminder that the next club meeting is on Tuesday 5th December at 19:00 in the cafe at Sainsburys Barnwood
