The annual Boxing Day run in Langley was organised as a social run this year. Sally Ann Hales organised the run and the post-run social was in Langley Cricket Club.
There were 28 runners and the run raised £102.50 for charity. Times were recorded by runners themselves (this year there was no ‘handicap’ element – it was just a social club run).
George O’Donnell was a star running round in 20m17s
