Oldest Members
All other committee members were re-elected

woman racing member is Rosslyn Young of the
Serpentine Running Club aged 75. Two motions were approved for forwarding to the
National AGM in January regarding running

people out there with opinions. Give the secretary
(John Hoskins, 07717 086689) a ring if you are
interested. All of the officers have already been
elected so the workload may be minimal.
