Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ok, it's about time we had a Surrey mile, mainly so I can attend :-)

There is a track here in Walton-on-Thames, it's 25 minutes on a direct line from Waterloo and easy access from the Guildford area, then it's a five minute jog to the start. I have this evening had a word with the person involved in the hiring of it, he says I can have the track for the event, the cost will be £2.50 per person.

It has to be a Sunday afternoon though as Walton & Hersham FC use it on Saturdays and the athletics club use it on Sunday afternoons.

So, if there's enough interest, its simply a case of coming up with a date that everyone can agree on. I was thinking of maybe doing it early in the new year, say around the 11th or 18th January? I'm open to suggestions though, and having never organised anything like this, I would appreciate any input as to how to make it a success. I gave him a rough number of 20 people as a starting point.

If it turns out that February is easier, then we'll make it February. January may not be ideal for everyone, and late December is a bit too soon to get it all organised. The majority will rule, so feel free to suggest alternative dates.

I can in theory but it would depend on the actual date as I have quite a lot on already :-)
