Club Runs
The club runs are designed by our members and take us to places most of us would never dream of going and every one of them has been a fantastic adventure. Our events coordinators are Phil Campbell and Steve Flemming, so if you have an idea for a run, please call them (see club roster for details).
The following runs are proposed but may change at any time - attend the meetings and watch this space and the Bent Wire magazine for any changes. For
more information ring the contact person for each run, phone numbers in the roster.
