A few BRATS and supporters made the trip on Saturday to Woolaton Park near Nottingham for the Midland XC Championships and enjoyed some high quality racing on a marvelous course in the grounds of Woolaton Hall. Unfortunately we did not have sufficient runners in any category to finish teams but all agreed that it was worth the trip. Next year maybe a few more BRATs will come along and we will get ourselves into the team results. Thanks to all who ran and supported. 

Great news from the Warwickshire Cross Country Championships at Solihull on 7th January.  Medals for all 4 senior teams which is unprecedented in Club history!
