I started running in 2014 and mainly stuck to Parkruns for 10 years until I decided to join a club in August 2024. I’m so very glad I chose Westbourne as it’s a small, friendly and supportive club and there are so many interesting members. I am proud to teach maths at a fantastic local secondary school but the days can be quite all-consuming, so I always love being able to run, talk and joke with the other Westies on evenings and weekends. The variety of options appeals to me, from the slow social runs and to fast and challenging races. I was honoured to be asked become Chair this year and now I’m looking forward to helping Westbourne flourish over the coming years.
