SE Fitness leader Mandy Morgan has committed to going ‘DRY’ in January and as an extra incentive will donate to the MS Trust (the SE Fitness 2016 Charity). Mandy said “I wanted a month off the wine to help me lose those extra Christmas pounds!” We wish Mandy the very best of luck!
Whether or not you decide to join Mandy in her quest, public health recommends we all have at least 2 ‘dry’ days per week. Time to get the trainers back on and give the recycling bin a rest!
We do hope you will join us for the SE Fitness Summer Social. It’s Thursday 9th July from 7.00pm at The Royal. We’ve sorted the bar, the buffet and the band and now all we need is you!
Tickets cost £19.50 payable by cash, cheque or transfer. Hope we see you there!
It’s Bank Holiday Monday again folks, sorry no SE Fitness groups tomorrow.
Many thanks from Sutton Coldfield Stroke Club for £130 raised on the Easter Charity Run. The club meets on Wednesdays to offer practical and emotional support to stroke survivors and their carers. I went to meet them and am glad we chose them for our 2015 charity. For those who know how a Stroke can extinguish the light from your life then what the Stroke Club really offer is a small ray of hope, a hand outstretched in the dark.
All the money raised at our Fun Run Training Days will go to the Stroke Club, let’s help them continue the good work.
Many of you will know Kulli she joined SE Fitness in 2013 as a beginner. Last Sunday she finished her first FULL MARATHON in Paris of all places. Here she is enjoying a well earned pud in front of the Arc de Triomphe! Some women know how to do it in style. Well done Kulli, an amazing achievement.
SE Fitness schedule over the Bank Holiday Weekend.
Friday – no groups
Saturday – all groups as normal. First Saturday in the month so it is the extra long run for Run+ (1hr15)

1 day to go to the Big Baton Handover! Hope the weather is going to be fine. The Run / Walk starts around 9.00 and will be 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back the same way. If you are only coming for Bucks Fizz and Muffins we will see you around 9.45!
Just a reminder that only 2 days until Pass the Baton. I’m in charge of hot drinks, Jon’s bringing Bucks Fizz and several of you have kindly offered to bake muffins. Hopefully we’ll have enough! Look forward to seeing you there.
