We’re pleased to share the news that Bellahouston Road Runners has recently become a charity: a Scottish Charitable Incorporate Organisation (SCIO). Our charity number is SC047300. All club members should now have received a fuller explanation in an email from Camilla – with links to the OSCR website for further info. Questions and discussion for members can be found on the Forum at https://forum.bellahoustonroadrunners.co.uk/t/scio-status-update/893 The change means the club is now a legal entity and we have a modern flexible constitution. It gives us a great opportunity to develop our club – and we will get back to you soon – to ask your views on how we take the club forward. In the meantime – happy reading!

We’re really excited to bring details of the new Bellahouston Mob match – a fun and friendly inter-club challenge on March 4th 2017 between ourselves and the Harriers. We really hope members of both clubs (and their family and friends!) will come along and have fun on the day, then join everybody back at Cartha for some post-run prizes and fun.

The annual Bella Curry Night will be held on Saturday 25th February. It’s the night of the National XC. If you rice to the challenge and race in potentially balti conditions you could end up a bhit chilli or jalfreezing. So instead of going home to a soft pilau, why don’t you cumin to the India Quay at 8pm, situated raita across from the Squinty Bridge for some great chaat and a few drinks? This event is open to everyone, including those members not tikka-ing the opportunity to run. Partners welcome too. The meal is a three course buffet for only £15 – what a great dhal! If you have any energy left (I’ll have naan) then we can curry on afterwards to a nightclub where we’ll no doubt be dancing to classic songs korma chameleon, poppadom preach and fight for your right chapati….
