THANKS to the generosity of the family of one of Witney Roadrunners’ founding members, the club has finally got a new trophy cabinet.
Having gone missing during a refurbishment of Windrush Leisure Centre many years ago, they now have a place to showcase their achievements.
It is all down to the family of the late Vernon Blowfield, one of a group of people who started Witney Roadrunners in 1984.
An honorary life president of the club, he died in February this year.
Chairman John McCormac said: “We are honoured that Vernon’s family have so generously donated this cabinet, and it is fitting that his legacy to running in general, and Witney Roadrunners in particular, is now on display for all to see.”
