Joan Blanch-Nicholson

Affectionately known as Our Joan, Joan is one of our oldest members and really is a valuable asset to our club. Always full of energy and always ready to give everything she has got, Joan leads our walking groups and helps build them up to running status. Joan is always there to encourage all of our members and if she thinks you have out walked her groups she will be all to happy to give you a good old Geordie style kick into our running groups.
Word of warning though Our Joan has a fear of cows so don't be taking her anywhere they may be roaming - you have been warned!
