Wednesdays Run club

Quite pleased with this.
Not so much the photo (although the camera did well in the dark conditions) but the story behind it.
I run a running club for beginners and improvers. 
We meet Wednesday evenings and during the light Summer months we run in and around Valentines Park in Ilford, with 20+ in attendance.
During the dark nights of winter though I am lucky if 3 or 4 turn up.
Very often just one or two will turn up (never had no attendees yet!).
Can't blame people too much. Ilford isn't the safest place in the world during the day!!! People also don't like running around the streets in the dark and cold.

The last few weeks though I have been cajoling and encouraging people and matching up people of similar abilities so that no one is left to run entirely on their own.
Numbers have been building up and last night was a record attendance for a 'dark' run.
As well as those pictured there were 2 girls who didn't want their photo done and myself.
