Clare Ashton
Chair
Has overall responsibility for the relationship between the club and its members and for handling new enquiries. Did my first race in 2012, hated it, said never again. Many, many, many races later and 2 marathons… here I am leading at the club and loving it!
Zoe Malir
Secretary
Responsible for the administration of the club. Signed up to a half marathon with only 12 weeks to go, even though she’d never been for a run before.
Zoë Dooley
Vice Chair
Supporting Chair & Secretary in their roles. Joined Dragons in 2014. My first run was with Andie, one of our Honary members, who has continued to inspire me. Say Yes to movement because one day you are going to Have to say No!
Amanda Jowsey
Welfare Officer
Promotes safeguarding at the club and encourages good practice.
Andrea Waller
Treasurer
Responsible for all things financial. I did not start running until I was 55 and I am infamous for getting lost whilst on events -a Park run in Florence and a club run at Aintree being two of my more embarrassing runs!
Ken Creek
Membership Secretary
Responsible for managing club membership and affiliation to England Athletics.
Hannah Burden
Club Race League Representative
Looks after the club’s membership of race leagues. I love to escape the tarmac and adventure in the great outdoors!
Calum Firth
Club Captain
Alongside Rob, helps members get the most out of training and promotes participation in club events. Calum doesn’t measure runs in kilometers anymore – only by how many snacks per hour is acceptable.
