Dominic Nurse
Club Secretary:
I have been running for the best part of 20 years, although less so recently due to the increasingly difficult battle with age and injury. My favourite races are in the high fells of the Lakes such as the Langdale Horseshoe, Borrowdale and Coledale, as well as Ben Nevis and Carraunthoohil in County Kerry. As Club Secretary, my role is to provide admin support to the chairperson. I take minutes at the committee meetings, for example, and generally try to ensure the club runs smoothly. You can contact me on enquiries@nlfr.co.uk
Helen Freeman
Social secretary
Hi, I’m Helen, club social secretary. I co-ordinate our social activities. These include the summer camping trip, the Christmas party, our summer and winter Solstice runs, social weekends around races, and any ad hoc social activities! If you have an idea for a social activity within the club and would like some support in running it then get in touch with me on social@nlfr.co.uk
Mike Ayres
Club Chair
I’m Mike, one of the founding members and currently Chair of NLFR. I set up two local fell races (Rombald’s Romp and Kettlewell Anniversary) which I and my NLFR colleagues organise each year to encourage runners into fell running. As Chair I see my role as one of encouragement, handing out well-deserved prizes and trying to get as many out into the fells as often as possible.
