QMR 10k & 5k 15th May + Olympic Torch Opportunity / Stockley Park 10k
20th May
All,
Firstly a
reminder from me about the Queen Mother Reservoir 10k (also 5k) on Tuesday 15th
May. That is the event I’m trying to get a large number of BA colleagues to so
a good club presence will enhance the prospects of enticing some of them to join
the club. The address to enter is

If you can’t
run then you might show your encouragement to those who are by sponsoring the
team by donating money to Flying Start. As an added incentive to donate one of
my team colleagues, Mohammed Din, says “I have the great honour of carrying
the Olympic flame, through the streets of Slough on 10th July. Please come and
cheer me on! In preparation for my 300m (!) stint, I’m taking part in the Queen
Mother Reservoir 10k run on 15th May. Please sponsor me at the link below. All
money raised goes to Flying Start. As a little incentive, I’ll draw a name from
all who sponsor us, to have a photo taken holding the Olympic torch!”

Secondly I’m
also the club champion for the Stockley Park 10k on Sunday 20th
May HOWEVER if you are capable of running more than 10k that weekend please
offer yourself to Brian Bennett and Chris Kelly for the Green Belt Relay instead
because we only just have a team. If you are only capable of running one 10k
then I do recommend the Stockley Park run – it is friendly and well organised
and around the golf course at Stockley Park. It is also a purple patch event –

additional content such as photographs. Additional submissions are always
welcome.
