Our Christmas Party is usually held in early December and involves food and dancing!

In recent years this has been held in the Tap Room at Vibrant Forest Brewery on the Hardley Industrial Estate with an American Supper for a food buffet.

Hardley Handicap

Held just before the Christmas break, the handicap is our annual 10k event for which each runner submits a predicted time and then tries to finish as close to that time as possible without the use of any timing devices. Fancy dress is optional but encouraged! :)
