Local MP Tim Farron last night praised Allithwaite running club at their first anniversary dinner.

Tim joined 50 members of the club at the Graythwaite Manor Hotel in Grange-over-Sands and praised the organisation for going from 'strength to strength' in such a short time. At the dinner Tim was involved in picking the name of the clubs race on 4 January - now to be called the 'Sands New Year Chase'.

Tim Farron MP commented "The hard work of Mike Thornborough and Liz England has meant that this club really has taken off in the last year. At the dinner I spoke about the club's good work and how a small group of determined people have made this a vibrant club. I look forward to running in their race in the New Year and I hope that I don't come last!"
