On Wednesday 9th August Kads put on their second Foodbank run. This time was a little different to the run in February, the lack of layers being the most notable one. Club honory member David James who no longer lives locally just happened to be in the area visiting and joined us for the occasion which was a nice touch. The team left Kimberley Cricket club with a rucksack of goods and set off to Eastwood Foodbank. All members ran at one pace to suit all on the 5 mile all round trip. We'd like to say a big thankyou to for the volunteers for the endless work they put in and for opening up later for us all to drop off supplies. We look forward to the next one.

 Kads kickstarted the month of February in style. Over 30 club members congregated at the Kimberley Cricket club ahead of the run to Eastwood Foodbank.
A newly formed group called the Food bank run came up with the great idea of encouraging running clubs up and down the country to take part in there own Foodbank run within the month of February. All runners arrived with headtorches and rucksacks full of pasta, tin goods, biscuits just to name a few. The highlight of the night was seeing all the club members of all different abilities running together as one all the way up to the foodbank at Eastwood. The 5 mile(ish) all round journey witnessed a ray of lights heading all the way up to Eastwood, I've seen less lights on a Christmas tree. The atmosphere was great, the smiles were big and most importantly the cause of the run was a huge success. Once the group arrived back at the cricket club there was already talk of doing it again next year so watch this space.
