A few of us more mature(?) Chasers are going to this daytime party for Over 30s at Scala, King's Cross, where you can expect 4 hours of non-stop retro cheese bangers. This could suit those training for marathons who still want to feel fresh (or not) for their Sunday morning long run...
If you're interested, tickets are more information available here
Apparently Photo ID is still required for some absurd reason.
For those of you who are yet to reach the ripe old age of 30 and can manage a late night, there is a second Club de Fromage at O2 Academy Islington the same day/night starting at the shockingly late time of 10.30pm.
Who knows...it could go completely wrong and end up as a double header...

Once again, this year sees the Mornington Chasers operate the 20k Elite Drinks water station at the London Marathon (Sunday 21st April)!
The day will involve an early start and essentially ensuring tables are set up and the elite runners' drinks taken out of their boxes in the right order for the races and then packing away! Ciara will be coordinating volunteers again, if you haven't done it before have a go, it's a great experience!
Please register your interest by signing up here. We will allow as many people who want to sign up, sign up. The Club Committee will then select people based off those who have not done it before and their contribution to the Club
