Next week: Watch this space and facebook page: @VungTauHHH for more details of next week’s run. 
PLEASE REMEMBER: We can all help to keep run fees as low as possible by cancelling registration if suddenly unable to attend (the committee can then order a smaller/cheaper bus and fewer meals if necessary).
