May I take this opportunity to congratulate the whole team. This was our first of hopefully many Brunel runs and I cannot speak highly enough of the organisation of such a great event sponsoring a wonderful cause.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and my wife ( Debbie) being in the catering industry knows very well the effort needed for such events.
A BIG BIG well done.
We hope to see you all next year

Just a few words of thanks to all the good people who went to such lengths to make the 2011 Brunel run such a success.
This was our first year, and we opted to just do the Saturday run. Having seen the facilities at Barton camp, seen the organisation, tried the food, sampled the camaraderie etc, etc, etc, its safe to say that in 2012, we will be back for the entire weekend.
The run was 98 miles, (or in our case 105 miles, we went adrift a couple of times) - a lovely run through VERY narrow lanes at times... had to back up for a tractor or two, lovely little villages and towns, stunning scenery a bit of open road, places of interest, places to eat and drink. Think it had it all.
Our thanks go to all who were involved in the weekend’s organisation.
Events this good don’t happen by accident, a tremendous amount of work must have gone into it.
Again our thanks.
Ken and Pat Bovington
Thank you and all the people that worked so hard to make another great Brunel weekend.
Once again we made new friends and had a great time.

I'm sorry this is so late being sent to say what a great time we had. You did a great job with the road book and we look forward to another club event.
best wishes
