Runners, did you remember to collect your prize bag from the Church after the race? We still have 9 bags left over. The prize bag is a Francis Jackson Bag containing toiletries donated by Cox & Robinson. Each bag contains an envelope containing a £10 note, a voucher from Olney Healthcare, a voucher from MuchaDo and some envelopes contain other valuable vouchers which were put in randomly.

So well worth collecting!!

Please email David Phillipson fabianstedman@googlemail.com to arrange collection.
