At Brunel 2024 numbers were well down on previous years but we still managed to raise just over £2500 for Barton Camp. The Club have made this amount up to a total donation of £2750 and we hope to present the cheque to them at February Club Night 2025. For photos and a report on Brunel 2024 click here. Now for the latest news: Your committee held a lengthy discussion about the possibility of a Brunel Weekend for 2025. We took into account the amount that Barton could raise by renting out the camp for the weekend and it was agreed that the Brunel Weekend would actually leave Barton Camp out of pocket rather than adding to their funds. With this in mind it was agreed that a day run would be better for 2025. This was a reluctant but sensible decision. It was proposed that we host a Saturday Brunel Run on 6th September 2025 so now we introduce you to an all new Brunel Run for 2025! The Brunel Run 2025 is scheduled for Saturday 6th September. Provisionally entitled “Strawberries and Steam”. Plans are still ongoing but currently include a day run event starting at The Bridge Inn, North End Road, Yatton, North Somerset BS49 4AU where optional breakfasts will be available. The run is around 90 miles and takes in a steam heritage venue for a lunch time stop. It will finish at the Mizzymead Recreation Centre, Mizzymead Rise, Nailsea BS48 2JJ with an afternoon tea, the opportunity to socialise and possibly skittles to follow. More details, prices etc will be available in the New Year and updates will appear on our website events page. Sadly we will not be offering a weekend event in 2025. The Bridge Inn offers accommodation if you need it (https://www.greenekinginns.co.uk/hotels/so merset/bridge-inn) though there are other hotels in the wider area. The following websites list other accommodation. • https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/home.html • https://www.airbnb.co.uk/ • https://www.booking.com/ • https://www.trivago.co.uk/ • https://www.vrbo.com/ • https://www.hotelscombined.co.uk/
