Invitation from Down Under
We recently received this email from Vin Martin of Melbourne:
I am a long time runner with an informal running club in Melbourne Australia. Yes - we call ourselves the Burnley Runners. In fact, the "Royal Burnley Runners" on occasions due to our meeting place being in a car park adjacent to a public golf course called the Burnley Golf Course.
We run three mornings a week in and around suburbs within 7 kms of Melbourne's central business district.
My reason for making contact is simply to say that if anyone from the Burnley Athletic Club wishes to join in one of our runs when they visit Melbourne, they would be more than welcome. No money involved. Simply make contact to let me know when you are coming so that we can look out for them. Our starting times are 6.00 a m on Mondays (8 km); 5.45 a m Wednesdays (11 km); 6.00 a m Friday (9 km). All speeds welcome between 4 minutes and 5 and a half minutes per kilometre: men and women aged 20 to 66 years of age. Many train for marathons; some run local athletics and vets.
Vin Martin
If you are planning to travel to Melbourne and would like to take up Vin's kind offer, please see Mike Linaker for details of how to contact Vin.
