Chair
Judith Hibbert
I started running in 2014 by doing Couch to 5k and carrying on until my first race was a Half Marathon! I've run 3 marathons to date and try and run at least three times a week to support my mental health and also to offset my biscuit habit. I love the support from my fellow Westies as I am often the last Westie home and very proud to have taken over as Chair.
Secretary
​
Gus Neesom
I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors but didn’t take up running until my early forties and despite some strains and injuries along the way, haven’t looked back since – perhaps that’s why I’m such an enthusiastic proponent of warmups and stretches! I enjoy exploring and coming up with new scenic routes for our social runs and the camaraderie of those shared runs. Joining the club has allowed me to connect with fellow runners, make new friends, challenge myself, and celebrate a few victories. The Westies are a friendly and inclusive club, whose members encourage and support each other, and I was very pleased to take over as Secretary this year.
Treasurer
​
Liz Dyble
I started running when I met Neil, in 2011. I'm never going to be the fastest but I've improved a lot since then!
From not being able to run a few hundred metres Neil and I ran the London Marathon together in 2016 and are regulars at parkrun and club races.
​
Men's Captain
Aaron Beaton
I started running relatively late on in life after I turned 30 and decided that I needed something to get / keep me fit and football wasn’t really for me. I enjoy the individual aspect of running as a challenge with myself and think it benefits your mental health massively. Becoming part of a running club was amazing for me and it’s great to have others to keep you motivated.
Ladies Captain
​
Vicky Rutter
Like many I used to run cross country at school. It wasn't until 2018 that I picked it up again (at Bournemouth parkrun). I have been hooked ever since and love getting out there whether it's on the road or trails. I'm always up for a new challenge.
