Night of Relays
Our May event for our 12 months of celebration took place last Tuesday night on our training field commonly known as Wilfs Field.
A nod to our history as a well known relays club we hosted a Night of Relays.
Great numbers turned up to enjoy the fun that relays bring with them as the events host Catherine kept everyone on their toes with different versions of relay training.
Lots of smiling faces as everyone gamely joined in and enjoyed themselves. There was even a recovery picnic afterwards as everyone chatted over some 'healthy' treats after their stretch hosted by Ann.
Well done to everyone and thanks to Catherine for organising the event celebration 25 years of Menapians AC
