Membership
We currently have 122 paid up members of the Doddlers which is fantastic BUT we had 180 last membership year (which ended in March) so that means that 60 of you who are receiving this email are not current members! If this is you, please can you fill in the membership form straight away here and remember to do the bank transfer (details are in the form). Due to insurances etc, sadly if you are not a member, we are unable to let you run with us.
Kit – Caps and Whites
I will shortly be submitting an order for the bright White kit (which is for training/socials - Blue kit must be worn when officially competing for the club). Vests and Tee’s are available in standard sizes and all items subsidised by the club to cost only £20 each. This is likely to be the only order for these items being submitted this year so if you would like something please let me know by emailing roger@dorsetdoddlers.org
Doddler running caps are now being produced and are a bargain at £12.50 each. An initial batch of these have been ordered and a small stock of these will be held. Again, orders to go to: roger@dorsetdoddlers.org
Club Kit
Be part of the Doddler team by wearing our club kit.
When competing in races, we do ask that you run in a blue Dorset Doddler T-shirt or vest. When running in Dorset Road Races, a blue Doddler top is required for your result to count in the league results.
To obtain club kit please contact Roger Teasdale
To order leisure kit, such as Hoodies, Zoodies, Beanie Hats and Gillets order direct from our kit supplier, Logo King Glasgow.
