Got a story?

We want to spread the adventure racing love to everyone in UKAR Club, so if you have a story, event to promo, or link to your blog with a recent race/training report, send them to Claire Maxted csmaxted@gmail.com and I’ll do my best to include it in the next newsletter.

NB: 30-100 words plus pic is best. If you write it like the above (title, story, link) so I just have to copy and paste it into the newsletter it will definitely go in, if you just send me a jumbled list of stuff I might not have time to re-jig it so it might not go in. Hope that makes sense. Thank you, CM
