December News  

Welcome to the December edition of Inflight. Lots of things for you this month. As always lots has been going on, and you never cease to amaze us - there's a recap of the month below, but for now, some announcements:

2025 and the Committee

The team have already started planning the Annual Dinner, thinking about the AGM and looking forward into 2025. It's with some sadness that we'll be saying goodbye to a couple of stalwarts from the committee next year in Lyndon (Membership) and Graham (without portfolio and master of many). Graham has always been on the committee and did at least 6 years as Chair and Lyndon has been on the committee since 2019 and meeting and greeting many of you as the Membership secretary. Both have been trusted hands and advisors, but it's time to move on for both of them.

We are on the hunt then for new people to join the team. Lyndon has said that he can oversee the renewal process for this coming April, but really wants a safe pair of hands to leave this to as soon as possible. No one in the current committee has the capacity to be able to take this on at the moment with work, life and other commitments. Graham's tasks have been mainly handed over in the past years and we'll make sure in the last few months nothing else falls through the cracks.

Please do come forward. The Committee meets every 6 weeks or so for 90 mins. It's pretty efficient and the focus is on what can we do better and/or more of at the club. Don't want to be on the committee - but can lend a hand? That could work too! Please do consider something. Talk to one of us on the committee or contact Sharon or Speirsy. Please do come and help.

Runleaders

We want to thank as always our wonderful Run Leaders for their amazing support. Thanks to James Blackburn, Mark Pattison and Josh Mann who have recently started leading some sessions. You may have noted that we sometimes struggle for run leaders. As the new year approaches, we are calling out for help. If you would like to become a run leader then please do make us aware or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

You do not have to commit to lead every week, it's on an ad-hoc basis, depending on availability with some flexibility for last minute change of plans / train delays. As a rule of thumb, if you join and can take on the lead of a run every two months (approximately six per year) that would massively help. Any help (less or more) is wanted. We can always "buddy" you up with an existing Run Leader who can explain how things are done.
