Due to the fantastic efforts of the England football team, they are playing the world cup semi-final on Wed. So there is now a clash with our handicap.
As a consequence, we are not confident that we would have sufficient numbers of volunteers to be able to put on a safe race, so have decided to reschedule Race 3 to the following Wed – 18 July.

Dear All
Welcome back to the 2018 Handicap Series of Races.
I was talked into doing this event by a friend and thought why not?
We arrived 45 mins early and parked in a nearby Lane – a good call as apparently the car park turned into a bog.
Run HQ was in Vigo Rugby Club and was a shambles, apparently due to technical difficulties.
But in true rugby club tradition the bar was open.
