Hi Joggers, as we close the year off, I hope it’s been a good one for you!
We’re really keen to kick 2025 off well and get a running start to the year (no pun intended….or maybe it is!), so whether you’ve been with the Joggers for a while, or you’re new to us, we really want to ensure members are getting what they want out of the club through knowledge & understanding of all club activities, so you can get involved as much or as little as you want. We plan to communicate next year primarily via the app with all activities, but as a “back up” we will post on the whatsapp groups, facebook and the web, so you shouldn’t miss anything. If there’s anything you’re not sure about, for example, “what is the Champions League?”, then grab myself or any member of the committee on a Weds, or DM us, or ask your fellow members
So here’s a start…… and you should see 2 pdf attachments to the email; one for the CL and one for C25K!
Champions League is HERE – We’ve set all the CL runs for you in the attached sheet (Thanks Captain Tim, and awesome graphics David O’Leary). It shows by each quarter which runs are on the CL so you can plan your diary. We will post these on the whatsapps groups, the website, and on the app, but if you come to club this Weds, we’ll have some printed sheets out for you to take away. I know I’m going to stick mine on the fridge so Mrs T knows which runs are on! (some race dates are not confirmed yet so we will do update versions)

Make your Charity Nominations for 2025
Every year we support a nominated charity as voted by our members. As a non profit club, throughout the year as we run our events; we then donate surplus funds to the charity
We now need nominations for which charity we should support for 2025, so if you have any in mind, then please add them to the attached sheet here by 20th December. We will then put these out to the club to vote on the nominations before the AGM on 15th January, when we will announce the winner
Malvern Joggers Charity Vote – 2025
Xmas Party this Friday – Yes, there’s still tickets available for the party – do try and come along, it’s a great way to end the year with your running buddies, celebrating with the awards, Champions League winners, and places for the London Marathon – MJs Christmas Party 2024 – Malvern Joggers
Xmas Eve Run (Walk) to the Worcestershire Beacon at 2pm
Don’t forget its our annual and traditional run (walk if you’d like) to the Beacon for mulled wine and mince pies at the top! It’s a great way to get away for a couple of hours – wear your festive attire; and feel free to bring friends and family
Leaving at 2pm on 24th December from North Quarry Car Park, you can book yourself in on the Club App
2025 Membership
You will be able to join or rejoin from the New Year and with EA again raising their fees to clubs and members, the 2025 fees will be £30 – still I’d argue the most cost effective annual amount for regular fitness, social and mental wellbeing – lots of running, social and lots and lots of laughs!
Our AGM, Weds 15th January, 8.15pm, Rugby Club after our run
Please stay behind after your run for our AGM; it wont take long and your support is appreciated
