BRUNEL RUN 2024 The Brunel Run 2024 took place over the first weekend in September. The weather was cloudy and damp but the rain held off for the actual run on the Saturday. We are extremely lucky to be able to use the facilities at Barton Camp, who are also the recipient of our fundraising. Our ever faithful chef, Theo presented us with fabulous English breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday, the local chippy came up trumps with fish and chips on Friday evening, and at the last minute the cooks on the committee (that’d be Hélène then) served a tasty evening meal on Saturday. The run took entrants from Winscombe, at the foot of the Mendips, to the coast at Berrow and Brean, down past Bridgwater and skirted the Exmoor National Park to Blue Anchor Bay. From there it visited Watchet where there was a “walk-around” quiz. The return journey took in the countryside north of Bridgwater and then went across the Somerset Levels and back to Barton. Some of the more intrepid entrants also made good use of the fabulous swimming pool and, although there were some damp periods, the weather on the whole held up well. In addition to the Brunel Run itself, another regular challenge over the weekend was the tricky jigsaw puzzle, with keen puzzlers glued to it over many hours - it was finished just in time as the weekend closed. As previously reported, numbers were well down on previous years but we still managed to raise just over £2500 for Barton Camp. The Club have made this amount up to a total donation of £2750 and we hope to present the cheque to them at February Club Night. Now for the latest news: Your committee held a lengthy discussion about the possibility of a Brunel Weekend for 2025. We took into account the amount that Barton could raise by renting out the camp for the weekend and it was agreed that the Brunel Weekend would actually leave Barton Camp out of pocket rather than adding to their funds. With this in mind it was agreed that a day run would be better for 2025. This was a reluctant but sensible decision. It was proposed that we host a Saturday Brunel Run on 6th September 2025 so please save the date and watch out for further details.
