If you own a smartphone and fancy social media, but like me, get put off by the extra frills that come with Faccebooke and twit-looloo ;-D this is for you!
Straight talking running, instant text messaging and exclusive to the striders!
And friendly banter too, if that's your thing :-D
Perhaps you should have two groups, one for "banter" and one for official stuff like club and training announcements. That way people can join the one that's right for them. Or both!
