WEDNESDAY 18th DECEMBER – TRACK NIGHT 7pm

Our last track session of 2024 – 18th December Track resumes 8th January

This evening is also likely to be Simon Thistlethwaite’s Pie Run challenge where he is kindly donating two generous discount codes to members who guess the time it will take to complete his challenge. Have you guessed Simon’s time to run 5k, eating a mince pie every lap – 12 laps!   See Simon’s Spond post headed “Who ate all the pies” to place your time.

If anyone isn’t keen, we still require some lane counters.

Week commencing January 6th 2025 – Tuff’s usual weekly schedule resumes.

PLEASE keep watch on our Spond app to check on locations, updates etc. Equally if you feel the Christmas excesses over the holidays or have time off work and wish to encourage fellow Tuffs out, do feel able to invite fellow members out whether’s it an indoor spin, outdoor run, or if brave enough raise a post to encourage participants out for the various quick sea dip events – all agreed between members on an informal basis

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM US ALL AT TUFF FITTY
