<p>Pre Christmas knees up. Fun begins at <a href="http://gkpubs.co.uk/pubs-in-cardiff/copa-of-cardiff-pub/">Bar Copa</a> (used  to be the Newt and Cucumber many moons ago. Gold star goes to the really old  people who know the previous/ original pub name to that!). It&rsquo;s on Warton  Street, off St Mary Street. Apparently there is a wide selection of ales,  continental beers and wines to be quaffed and a welcoming caf&eacute; style terrace.  I&rsquo;m sure we&rsquo;ll add to the ambiance.</p>

<p>Great Festive Cake Bake Off. Club bar, after run.  Everyone to join in <a href="http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/full.php">creating</a>, sampling and judging. Anything goes. Assessing  criteria will be based on- name of creation, appearance, taste and if it can be  consumed before, during and/or after running. There will be a prize to the  winner.</p>

<p>The last requests for tickets for the social evening at the Aberdare Hall is Sunday next (7th) (It takes place on Fri 19th). It is a really good night out, with a recommended superb buffet followed by the Summer T&amp;F Awards. This year our Ladies topped the League, therefore it would be fitting if we had a fair tournout from Les Croups to receive their award.</p>
<span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 500px;" src="http://www.lescroupiersrunningclub.org/storage/WElsh%20masters%203.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1288966556239" alt="" /></span></span>
<p><br /><strong><em>It keeps 'em off the streets. Join the Masters for a slap up meal.</em></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;Tickets are &pound;15.00 (this is the first time the price has been increased for a few years). Nevertheless it always a truly enjoyable evening. Should any club members still wish to attend could they either contact me on 01656 720579 or Sue Hooper on 01633 881608.</p>

<p>This will give you a good 90 minutes of searching before finding a local watering hole (any suggestions?) to tot up the marks and award prizes.</p>
<p>I'll try and keep it like last year, so trotting round, not haring.</p>
<p>Meet at The Norwegian Church.</p>
<p>Teams of 3 to be created on the fly on the night.</p>
