As we left Shrewsbury this morning there was was mist in the sky, it was one of those days that could go any way, we drove south and things looked positive, blue holes appeared in the sky everywhere,  as we passed The Longmynd sun started to shine on the hills around us, we passed Ludlow and climbed up on to Clee Hill and the views towards the Malvern Hills were fantastic. But then, we rounded the corner, and set off towards Cleeton St Mary and things changed!

IF YOU ARE NOT RUNNING THE VALLEY'S RACE - WHY NOT OFFER TO HELP
If you are injured or for whatever reason not taking part in the Race on the 7th February, think about helping out, we always need plenty of help for this Race, you don't need to help all day, even one little job is great for us.
The 'SHROPSHIRE WEEKEND' is the premier Mercia Event and we wish to showcase ourselves as worthy of the national scene.  If you can help us please telephone Keith and Pauline on 01743 352387 or email keithandpauline2010@talktalk.net
