Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

Pub Run, The Punch Bowl, Earby - 2 November 2016

The winter head torch runs are proving very popular as there were a cracking turnout of around 20 runners tonight.  The improvement in the newer runners was there for all to see especially Karen Naylor.  So because of the high turnout we split the group into two so people wouldn't feel overawed by the more experienced pub run goers.  No Sellors, Massive, satnav or Palin so I was tasked with route choice.   Pinhaw is roughly 3.5 miles away from the Punch Bowl so I decided on an out and back to stop the running breaking into beer time.  So off we set, for a change no getting lost and no messing.  To the front group's amazement, Danny Butterworth had bridged the gap between the two groups, which shows how much he's improved.  Not far behind was habitual faller, Karen Naylor.  We all regrouped at the top and it was great to see runners who 12 months ago had started their journey, make their way up to the trig not far behind.   After the group gathering at the top the descent quickly gathered pace with that whipped man Collins leading the charge.  Back at the pub the majority were present with well over 20 lads and lasses supping ale and wine and generally abusing one another.  Danny Butterworth brought his spends in what can only be described as a blunt butt plug.  Aside from Danny's love of strange purses it soon became apparent the newbies were more serious about their running than their drinking.  Especially as half pint Childs was drinking them under the table.  Hopefully the good turnouts will carry on.  Special mention to Doc Bryan, first time we've seen him in months and as always he was welcomed by the pub run posse.   Jock was also  missing, telling the group he was going with the big hitters from  PF.  When me and Screw got to the Rodney, we learnt Boothman had sloped home at Thornton.  A bit weak really!
