For our 7th birthday, we set a new attendance record! It's a shame that the weather didn't help us out. Nevertheless, it was great to have the mayor and mayoress with us to celebrate. Unfortunately, the PA system decided that it didn't like the weather either and picked the most unhelpful time to stop working so I'm sorry if you couldn't hear the mayor speak at the end of the run briefing.

Thanks must also go to Jane Quinn, Carol Watson who designed our cake as well as everyone who chipped in to make sure there was something for everyone after the run.
