The Committee

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.

Rob Harrison

Club Captain

Alongside Calum, helps members get the most out of training and promotes participation in club events. Rob is 1/3 of a set of triplets. You might recognise his feet from a 1980s Clarks Shoes TV advert.

Paul Crabtree

Social Secretary

Responsible for social events. Only got into running after entering the ballot for the Great North Run and getting in. He didn’t even own running shoes.

Jo Wood

Run Leader Co-ordinator

Responsible for co-ordination of club runs. Jo is also a run leader and level 1 athletic coach, specialising in coaching beginner runners.
