Help us to celebrate Brian Forrester’s birthday! When? Wednesday 26th September, 8pm. Where? Concorde Centre British Airways Athletics Club member Mike Thorn had the privilege of carrying the Olympic torch before the Games. He is now raising funds for Rotary projects by asking for voluntary donations to have your photo taken with the torch. The charity Mike is working with is WheelPower (British Wheelchair Sport) to supply sporting wheelchairs to young or newly disabled people. The CEO of the charity is an ex BA Apprentice, who was knocked off his bike on the way to work when an apprentice. The photo session will follow our Chairman’s birthday event – if you would like to run some laps of the Concorde Centre, come and join us at 18:00, if you only want to see Brian and the Torch then 19:30 for 20:00.

Regards, Frieth Hilly 10k and 5k race Sunday 21st OctoberHello, Great to see members of your club at the wonderful Frieth Hilly (http://www.friethhilly10k.co.uk) over the last couple of years. This year's race will take place on Sunday 21st October and it would be great if you could join us again, Exciting news for this year is that we have added a 5k route, in addition to our successful 10k race. Perhaps you can persuade less adventurous friends and family to try our 5k and enjoy the fun of the day with you. Hopefully you are having a busy season, and have been inspired by Mo Farrar's successes. We hope you will join us in October and perhaps add The Frieth Hilly as one of the last club runs in your 2012 schedule as a great way to end the year. If you have any question please contact me directly and i will be happy to
answer them, if you want to see photo's of last year's race please see our

This should reduce the total number of emails landing in your inbox whilst highlighting all of the running related news. We will still send out prompt announcements for key events as separate emails. Please let us know if you think that this Digest is a good idea or on how it could be improved. And please send us some items for inclusion in the next one. Results, news, feedback, jokes, stores - send it to us at news@barunner.org,uk. Club website:
