Welcome Address:

It's a great honour to be  the Hon. Chairperson of the Bray Runners committee. Bray Runners provides great support for runners in Bray and surrounding areas at all levels and abilities.

The club has members of all abilities. It is a legacy of the club that runners of all abilities have been included and valued members. This to my mind is a great strength of the club.

It is vitally important that this ethos is maintained and continues to be a principal value of the club.

We have taken a large input of younger members in the last few years. It is important that these younger members are encouraged and supported as they mature into strong club runners.

We have very dedicated and competitive club runners at all levels of the club. It is important that their needs are met and that the club remains a place that they feel valued and supported. 

We have many members who, plain and simply, enjoy running and for whom competition is not the main motivation. The club also needs to be a place that they also are valued and supported.

 

Essentially I would wish that the club remain a place for all in Bray and surrounding areas that enjoy running.  It is the committee's responsibility to run the club, however it requires the input from all members to meet the needs of all the club members. I look forward to another great year of running in Bray Runners and playing my part in continuing the great legacy and ethos of the club.

 

Sincerely,

Denis
