Oct 2009 4:29pm, 2 Oct 2009 4,359 posts	Quote Pin Hello lovely! Er... Cakey's the one to ask. She's the GNR expert. I think they send us something quite soon giving us the option of a golden bond for 3 (?) years... no idea how much it costs. You lot staying at Silverlink, we'll do Saturday evening food if you like, it's very, very close to where Team Cake live.
MikeMawby Oct 2009 4:33pm, 2 Oct 2009 251 posts	Quote Pin MikeMawby Ah ok...thanks for the info PM much appreciated.....I got in contact with the organisors and they mentioned something to me about some runners being emailed in Novmeber about getting gold places for a 3 year period...i am pretty sure that it will be quite expensive. I know lots of people have mentioned they dont like this run for whatever reason, but i have to admit i do love the GNR. How are things with you PM? When is your next run? Hope it's all going well, hopefully catch up again soon

Stuff here is so-so, thank you for asking Just did my last lsr before Abingdon marathon and it went OK - knee felt fine. Phew. Are you doing harrier league xc?? See you soon
