Pub nights A couple of dates for your diaries this week Chasers... On Tuesday we will be going to Tapping the Admiral for food, drinks and merriment. I've booked a table from 8.30 onwards. On Thursday we're having a bonus social at The Gipsy Queen. Plan is to jog there after track. I've heard the minted lamb toasties are to die for. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Except for you.  – Emma (Social Secretary) Committee meeting The next committee meeting takes place TONIGHT, Monday 4 April in the upstairs room at The Grafton pub on Prince of Wales Road from 7pm.  All members are welcome.  Apologies for the short notice!  Spring marathon fundraising Chris Zair is running The Rome Marathon (10th April), The London Marathon and then (attempting!) the Lake District Ultimate Trails 110k (2nd July).  Here’s his fundraising page with all funds going to The Mental Health Foundation.  Shameless Instagram plug for updates @londonruntours  Matt Brownlee is doing the Brighton Marathon on Sunday 17 April in aid of The Disabilities Trust.  Here is his sponsorship link. John Armstrong will be running the London Marathon dressed as a Tommy the Tortoise to raise money for the Macular Society.  Louise Dwyer is running the London Marathon for the Family Holiday Association (FHA).  If you’d like your fundraising to be included in the newsletter, please email the details to newletter@chaser.me.uk.  Brick training session The monthly brick training session will take place this Saturday (9th April), meeting at 9am at Regent’s Park track.  If you’re new to multi-sport, a brick session involves some cycling followed straight away by a bit of running.  These sessions are open to ALL abilities – all you need is a bike and your running kit.  There will be someone available to watch over your belongings while you train.  London Marathon Commercial Opportunity We’ve been contacted by a casting director for an online commercial for a well known supermarket chain looking for people from all regions, backgrounds and abilities who are running in this year’s London Marathon.  The job is paid £300 for a short piece to camera after the race on 24 April.  Reply if interested and we’ll pass your details on.  Coached sessions this week Tuesday’s coached session will be led by Andrea this week and details will be posted on the Mornington Chasers Facebook page in advance for anyone unable to attend.  On Thursday we will have a guest session at track, led by Urban Bettag.  Urban will announce the content of the session on Facebook on Wednesday.  Race reports Paddock Wood Half Marathon Nine Chasers took part in the 27th Paddock Wood Half Marathon on Sunday 3 April.  A great course with lovely countryside scenery, friendly marshals, enthusiastic spectators and PB potential.  Results coming soon.  Thoroughly recommended!  Calendar Here's whats happening over the next few weeks other than our usual Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday runs.
