The founding member of the walking club, which, with help from others, has developed into the Walkie Talkies, this is a great asset to the club, as it keeps those who don't run active, and also helps people get to know others from the community.
Well done Mandy 👏
Tom Harmer
It's never an easy task to pick a Member of the Month. We find on so many occasions that members are progressing so well through the groups. Some members when they began running with the club didn't have the luxury of a C25K and had to jump in with two feet straight into Group 1. I think that sometimes we forget that we also have members who join the club already as an athlete. This month’s winner is 100% one of those. We think its important as an inclusive club to recognise everyone for their achievements and Tom Harmer has achieved what most of us can only dream about. Everything from winning parkruns, finishing on the podium at local and national events. Yesterday when I watched him scrape a top 50 finish at Dewsbury 10k I thought "maybe he's having a steady one today!". Then I saw the chip time of 33:21 and thought "hmm maybe he was trying after all!". What a fantastic effort and achievement a 10k and 5k PB and Drighlington Dynamos Member of the Month all in the same day! JK
