At the end of the beginners course we will be having a get together on the Thursday evening at the Ashley Club. The evening is to celebrate the group’s achievements and also give them so more information about the club, whilst meeting other members and having a drink.
The Saturday after the last session will be the 5K Park Run at Lytham. We would really like it if we could get lots of club members at the event to offer encouragement, cheer them on and if possible run the event.
The progression that has been made in the last 8 weeks is fantastic. New friendships have been made and the impossible is becoming possible.
If you’re on FaceBook and want to give them some extra encouragement the group is called TCRC Beginners.
