Visitors and returning runners.    Hal Al on his return from Bali presented the GM with a pair of colourful trousers. All runners let off a “hooray” when the GM fitted  into the garment. A tight fit as there was a natural tenancy for clothing to shrink when bought from overseas. Brutus was instructed to give the down down.

Run report.  Rug viewed this run as a good run and extremely well marked.

Food report.  The nosh was good and wholesome. It consisted of chicken pieces,  corn on the cob, plenty of green peas and well cooked potatoes. Ice cream with peaches and custard completed the evening meal, which was consumed by most runners sitting on the  grand stands of the sporting complex.
