KRs' Run Reminder and Update: 31 May 2012
Dave Holmes
Fellow Runners,
Owing to the very wet conditions last Thursday we recorded out slimmest turn-out for the year (six brave souls).* Our Norwegian friend Alexander captured it best: ‘Cold and rainy . . . Made me feel right at home.’ But, as Robin implored: ‘Everyone who didn’t come running this week is a ninny . . . except maybe the half marathon runners . . . but then they should have been here for beers to celebrate!’
Anyway, we hope to have a better turn-out this evening (and we should: the weather is ideal and we have the Vivid Light Festival to look forward too)!
Best wishes,
Dave

*For the record the six brave souls were: Alexander, Ann K, Angus, Dave H, Rob S and Robin.

KR Ski trip 19-24/26 August (Gareth)
After the success of last year's inaugural ski trip, we're planning a larger scale effort for 2012, and are hoping to get a big group together to go to Thredbo. All levels of skier and boarder are welcome, from total beginners to experts. The tentative plan at this stage is to have a week's rest following the City2Surf (Sun Aug 12) then go for 4-6 days skiing from Sun 19th - Fri 24th / Sun 26th. Depending on numbers we'll rent one or more lodges / apartments to make the apres-ski easier. Indicative costs would be around $700-1000 per head for the accommodation, and about $100-120/day for ski pass / lessons / equipment hire, depending on what you need. We can pool cars and cook together, so transport and meals should be cheap. The only likely blow-out will be the wine bill :)If you're (even vaguely) interested please let me know (gda...@sxvp.com) so I can put you on the 'maybe' list. I'll firm up numbers over the next month or so and book early to get a good place. If you want to find out more or discuss options just catch me on a Thursday night . Hope to see you there. Gareth
