News Update Apr / May 2003

Jogscotland Beginner / Intermediate group

We re-started a jogscotland beginner's group in early April and there are now seven signed up. There is also an improvers group who usually mange a 4-mile run. Both groups meet on Wednesday evenings at Malleny Park at 7.30. (The meeting place will change during the summer as we do more scenic runs).
