Well done to the 48 Bella members who competed in the second club 3k track race on Wednesday 24 April. Even though many of us are busy preparing for Spring marathons right now, there were some fantastic performances on the track in windy conditions. The runners were enthusiastically cheered on by fellow Bellas before everyone went inside for a post-race debrief over sandwiches and cake. We were delighted to welcome Jimmy Irvine at the event who, together with his wife Sandra, were awarded honorary life membership of the club. Jimmy remains as enthusiastic about running and generous in his support for the club as ever. Congratulations to all the runners who took part and a big thank you to everyone who helped with the organisation. Please let us know if you have any ideas for future club race evenings.

The membership of the club unanimously voted to introduce honorary Lifetime membership at the 2019 AGM, in order that it may recognise individuals who have made a significant and valuable contribution to the club, community and sport of athletics in Glasgow. We are absolutely delighted to welcome Jimmy and Sandra Irvine as our inaugural recipients of this award. We now have a dedicated page on our website for recipients, and are delighted to add their names to the list. A presentation was made to Jimmy, on behalf of them both, before the 2019 3k track race, details of which will be following shortly. Many congratulations, and many thanks, to Sandra and Jimmy, for all their hard work.
