Fantastic day out today. Think everyone heard me a mile off, with the coughing and spluttering (apologies!) Always think that the 500 Group Running Day is one of the best organised, and most enjoyable, events in the North East. You're never standing around too long before the next bus is there to take you on another journey, and there's always a great variety of buses in attendance.

Thanks to everyone who brought a bus or contributed to the rally today. Let's see how Spillers Wharf compares next week!

Agreed in every way. Clearly a lot of effort is put in by the 500 Group and I'm sure it was appreciated by everyone there today. Everyone I spoke to from the group was wonderfully friendly and I even joined up for their e-newsletter - for £10 a year it's a great read and an absolute bargain. 

Saw a few faces I presumed were from here today but it's always an awkward one approaching someone hoping they are who you think they are!
