We've been talking about the idea of picking a different venue each month for an informal Sunday morning run, followed by a meal at a nearby pub / cafe / dumpster. In my head, I imagine a group of about 10-20 of us, at somewhere like Draycote Water, trotting out a few laps of the reservoir, before retiring to the Dun Cow in Dunchurch for a slap-up gravy dinner and a crate of brown ale.

By picking a different venue each time, we can visit some interesting places, stay one step ahead of the authorities, and hopefully meet up with as many Fetchies as possible. And if the venue is somewhere that allows us to do fairly large laps, then those who want to do a longer run can go round a few more times.

If that sounds like a good idea, please join this group for updates:

We've pencilled in Draycote Water on 23rd October - but do join the group even if you're unable to make it, or live in a different part of the country - if it's fun, we'll pick somewhere else for the following month. Oh, and in case it's not clear, it'd be a free thing - although that also means "at your own risk", "buy your own gravy dinner", and if a hundred people sign up, we'd need a rethink :-)

Join the group if you're interested in hearing more!

I'm in.

Did you see the comment on your blog re there being a race in Draycote on that date - and I don't think they meant this social run :-o

Saturdays could be worth a thought - these gatherings don't necessarily have to be in the morning (i.e. interfering with parkrun) do they?

I did see that. We're thinking we might do this one on the Saturday morning instead. More news soon :-)

OC - the idea is that we'll do them in different places every month. I can't promise where, but there's a chance we might make it up north :-)
