Croft members came together to celebrate a year of fantastic achievements for Croft Runners at the Corners inn, Kingsland on Saturday 15th March.
The evening started with the Club AGM. With reports from Huw the chair, Kelly the membership secretary and a financial report from Treasurer Tori. The elections of the committee then took place, following a special mention and thanks for Tori for all her work as treasurer and Jo T for her work on the kit as they stepped down from these roles. Theresa will be taking over the role of treasurer and Tori will be taking on the kit with help from Simon. Everyone else was happy to stay in their committee roles.
Thank you to the staff at the corners for the lovely meal that followed. It was Bronwyns 30th Birthday so a very tuneful ‘Happy Birthday’ was sung and some very tasty birthday cake.
Huw then presented the club awards with the assistance of Stuart and Suzanne Field.
