If enough club members are interested, we would like to organise a social outing to visit the Olympic Marathon event in London (5th August, women’s event) as BJ’s to mark this years Burnham Beeches Half Marathon.  The theme would be:

1) wear as much yellow & green as you dare, but as a minimum club vest/t-shirt for members!
2) help hand out some flyers to catch a few inspired spectators/runners to enter the Burnham Beeches Half Marathon
3) soak in the Olympic atmosphere and watch others do a bit of inspired running

If interested please let Nick know or leave a comment below – this event will only go ahead if there’s sufficient interest from club members!

Please note:
- family/friends are welcome to join in as long as you look after them (and good luck with the dress-code)
- logistics will be worked out subsequently but expect that we will meet up locally to travel in by public transport or you make your own way into London and we’ll announce a meet-up place on the Marathon course

Burnham Joggers hosted their annual Charity Evening on Thursday 9^th February. Five charities were in attendance, all giving a brief review of their work in the area:

Alzheimer’s Society Eric Abbott introduced the charity. They have been grateful beneficiaries of support from Burnham Joggers for a number of years and gave an update on their activities in the Beaconsfield area over the last 12 months.

Pepper Foundation Nell Neale introduced the charity and their representative Dave Beven  enlightened the club with a description of their support for nursing.

Lighthouse Mick Driver nominated this local charity and their representative explained how the charity ran one week summer ‘camps’ for local children in South Bucks.

Chiltern Prostate Cancer Support Group John Irwin introduced Andrew Scott- Priestley, the Chairman of the support group, who outlined their activities over the last year in raising the awareness of Prostate Cancer in the both the male & female population. Burnham Joggers are one of the main contributors to this charity.

Padstones Eric also introduced the Chairman of Padstones, who are based in Burnham High Street. They provide accommodation for local homeless children.

All the charities greatly appreciated the efforts of Burnham Joggers in organising events that benefit their causes.

Burnham Beeches

A one mile sprint finishing on Lord Mayor’s Drive in Burnham Beeches. The Lord Mayor’s Mile is mainly a fun, family event followed by a picnic BBQ at the finish but there is an element of competition involved, this is after all a Club Championship event!

All members, new and old, fast and slow, young or not-so-young can run a mile, and the non-runners in your family will be welcome to run too. Bring your own food and drink, cooking facilities and basic sustenance (nibbles, bread, water, beer) provided. Bottle prizes up for grabs. Don’t miss it!
