We have plenty of ideas and you can meet 1 other person under the current guidance, don’t be shy. Keep up the good work with the steps and just because you missed out on the raffle for the main prize. Does not mean you are out of the running for the weekly challenges to come...

What a year 2020 has been, it is certainly a year What a year 2020 has been, it is certainly a year we will not forget! We are not alone in saying the year didn't go as we had planned it...BUT, we are still thankful for what we have been able to achieve: 🎡🎼🎡 5 Referees 4 new members 3 competitions 2 lockdowns 1 whole lot of fitness 🎢 🎢 (We hope you sang that!!) When lockdown came, we discovered a few of the team were new found runners, clocking up lots of miles between them including a few half marathons! Later in the year our team admin received Volunteers of the Year from England Touch. As the year draws to a close, in all, it's not been so bad. Giving all these challenges we have still been able to raise lots of money for charity. Onwards and upwards and remember: 'New year, new beginning, new focus, new start, new results' Stay safe & Happy New Year!πŸ₯³ #HappyNewYear #Motivation #PositiveMentalAttitude #BeSafe #BeKind
