London 10k for Combat Stress - ARRSE contingent
Calling all ARRSErs, it's the time of year once more when Combat Stress are looking for bodies to run the London 10k on their behalf. As you know for the past 7 years or so ARRSE has provided CS with its very own merry band of runners/lurchers/hobblers/limpers.
Anyone who ran last year should shortly be receiving an email inviting them to do so again, however to make life a little easier for CS they've asked me to forward the form to interested parties on their behalf.
This year's date is Sunday 08 July, is London's second largest with around 25,000 runners and is being hyped as extra special due to the proximity of Olympics. All that bollocks aside the ARRSE team always has a blast and we usually reward our efforts with a post race re-hydration session. CS require a minimum sponsorship which I believe is around £150 but not set in stone, but they do cover the entry fee, provide a t-shirt and lay on a superb picnic in St James' Park to boot so please do your best.
Joke62/Alec_Lomas/Jacob1650/Gremlin... might you chaps be available for more stirling support team banner bitching/security/abuse hurling/showering services/photography?
Aside from any new blood, Goaty/Panzer/Farmboy/Soldier_girl anyone from any of the previous ARRSE mobs over the years fancy another bash?
PM me your details and I'll send you the form (or of course contact CS independently if you're concerned with persec!)

I'll be doing the usual along with the usual hangers on/followers.

I'm too dignified to run, but I could help with the abuse hurling or other services.

Welcome to the Happy Gang, Stanley, Happy because we don't have to run and even happier because we start drinking earlier Originally Posted by Stanley1975 Silence may be golden, but duct tape is more effective, and that comes in silver......

Count me in again. I'm aiming for a slower time than last year.

It usually is good, if a tad warm. Are you volunteering then Val? Originally Posted by Val_Killmore Sounds good
Nice one Stan, welcome aboard, finer details likely to be as every previous (on numerous threads) but obviously we'll let you know nearer the time. Originally Posted by Stanley1975
