Social Events 2014

At LBAC, every Wednesday night is a social event. After training, a large number of the club get showered and head off to The Swan in the town centre. It is a Wetherspoons pub so not glamorous but the food and drink are cheap and clearly we are all wonderful company so please remember that all members are welcome to come along for a post run beverage. 

Additionally there are a number of regular events held each year so make sure you have them in your diary:

Annual Bowling Evening – Friday 20th March

Please make sure you have fully paid up with Stu before the evening at xScape in Milton Keynes

Quiz Night & Junior Presentation Evening – March (date TBC), Cottesloe School (TBC)

Thanks to Joe for the quiz, the coaches for all their time in planning and the huge level of support we had from the club.

London Marathon – Sunday 26th April

We are due to have seven chaps taking part in the marathon this year as well as numerous other friends of the club. It's a good fun day out that always includes a few shandies after the race. More details will be available nearer the time but make sure you ahev it in your diary.

Annual Dinner & Senior Presentation Evening – Friday 1st May, Leighton Buzzard Golf Club

The main opportunity of the club's year to get your glad rags on. A sit down dinner with some awards interspersed. The more that come along the more fun it is so make sure you've got the evening booked in. There are awards for road running and cross-country as well as some other slightly more random ones, but really it's just about having a few drinks, a little bit of banter and enjoying the evening.

Tring Invitation Evening – A Wednesday in May, Tring Park Cricket Club

Once a year, Tring Running Club host a popular invitation night offering a variety of routes in the Hertfordshire countryside to suit all abilities. This is a friendly, relaxed event and a good excuse to run in new surroundings. All local running clubs are invited and most people hang around afterwards for food and a few drinks.

Family Track & Field Day – TBC, Stantonbury Track (Milton Keynes)

Since 2012, we have held a family track and field fun day at Stantonbury track in MK. Participants are split into teams and compete against each other in a selection of events throughout the day. It's really good family fun, so get practicing your jumping and throwing!!

Tring Brewery Trip – September (TBC)

This is a regular event normally arranged Pat Neilan. It's usually about £18 for fish and chips, a talk on brewing and as many beers as you can drink in three hours. Richard usually arranges minibus transport so people don't have to drive! Last year we invited the cycling club for some friendly banter and to see who could drink the most. 

Lanzarote Trip – Thursday 19th November (7, 10 or 11 days!)

There is a whole section of the website dedicated to this trip so you can get more details here. Members from the club have been traveling out each year for over 20 years. First and foremost it is a holiday, but it does happen to coincide with a series of four races in four days!

Christmas Dinner – Wednesday 23rd December (TBC), Methi Indian Restaurant

For the last few years we have abandoned the training run just before Christmas and gone for curry. There is a strong chance the same will occur this year. Make sure you know your "Ten lords a leaping" from your "Twelve drummers drumming"!
