Bulletin Week 12

Ted and Liz enjoying breakfast, please note the sincere efforts to combat Cholesterol.

Another great day at the Bridge as Chairman Rob welcomed back Geoff Michell and our guest speaker Chris Rankin.

As Danny said, if you give someone a microphone, they then think they are a comedian!! Apparently it is not only in the timing, but in the delivery methodology. NB Bulletin Ed expects harsh feedback, but hey we are not the ABC.

Guest Speaker

Chairman Rob introduced our guest speaker, member Chris Rankin who kindly has offered to provide all members with an update on the intricacies of Club Runner. Chris was ably assisted by Cathie, Adrian and Geoff, all of whom have indicated that they will undertake an “in your own home” training session if required. (Very generous )

Like all good presentations, the aim was to break down the introduction to Club Runner, very simply, so Chris had a great PowerPoint show, supported by the handouts (whoops, they are still on the printer)

Thanks Chris for a very comprehensive explanation. Also thanks to Cathie and Adrian for identifying the key issues which were to be covered.

Insert presentation handouts as supplied

John and Barbara Cannon at the VACC centenary of cars, helmets optional??
