The_Saint Dec 2017 6:03pm, 4 Dec 2017 6,129 posts	Quote Pin The_Saint One (very good) race included a voucher for welding services . . . . It was such a great race and so reasonable that nothing was plenty even for twice the entry fee. The race was a victim of the fungal disease wiping out larch forests in Wales.

Rosehip Dec 2017 8:00pm, 8 Dec 2017 9,786 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip Bedford 20? to clash with Oakley? or are you saying Oakley won't be doing a hoodie this year? I'd be happy with a vest - I have too many T's, cotton T - if small enough (yes even I find race cotton Ts enormous) okay. mug, glass, free photo, pen? there must be something different...

Old Man Dec 2017 8:10pm, 8 Dec 2017 3,201 posts	Quote Pin Old Man Rosehip, it seems there is a New Bedford 20 on the 25th March (Bedford20.com) from Priory Country Park, a week after the Oakley 20 From the website it seems to be a company called Dirt Running. Supported by EA and Bedford Borough Council, amongst others!!

Deck the Halls Daisy Dec 2017 8:33pm, 8 Dec 2017 20,664 posts	Quote Pin Deck the Halls Daisy The last race I did gave us water bottles, already filled with good old tap water, which was a neat way of having drinks available and getting us to pick up our 'present'. I never use this sort of water bottle but OH was happy to take it off my hands and into his bike bottle cage. The best race memento I've ever had (and many of my female clubmates agree, I haven't asked the men) was a fleecy buff-type piece of neck wear. The fleecy bit was attached to a cotton jersey 'skirt' which covered the top of your shoulders. Admittedly this was a winter race and by chance we had a really hard winter that year (2010? 2011?) so these kind-of buffs got a lot of use, not just for running but dog walking. Since then we've had quite mild winters so I haven't worn it for ages. It was good though! Can I kind of hijack this thread to ask AL (or anyone else) if AWD printed their club vests for them or did your club get them via a supplier? We are having trouble sourcing properly women-shaped kit for our club!
Dvorak Dec 2017 10:11pm, 8 Dec 2017 14,921 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Daisy, can I suggest Appin Sports to you? I was very impressed with my recent shirt from the Bella 10K. Good material (Fast-wick) and they had done something a bit different with the shirt itself. Without initially realising it, I found myself chatting briefly with the man on the shirt at the end - 84 years old now (4:13 miler in his day). Loads of testimonials on the site (including from that race; and another from someone I actually know (Spikey, Linlithgow 10K RD and Falkirk parkrun ED). One (Stubbington) specifically mentioned women's fit shirts. Only problem might be a club order being too small (unless you are in a massive club, of course :-)). appinsportsapparel.com
Deck the Halls Daisy Dec 2017 10:49am, 9 Dec 2017 20,668 posts	Quote Pin Deck the Halls Daisy Thanks Dvorak, I'll have a look at them! Our orders are usually in batches of 500 made up of various sizes, so while not massive, probably big enough for some firms. Inevitably with 400+ members we come in all shapes and sizes and we're never going to please everyone, but the last few have been universally disliked by our women runners.
