CWD 21st September 2019
On Sunday runners who travelled to Forest Reefs for Basil’s 40 x 2 Birthday run at Basil & Jean Baldwins property enjoyed beautiful conditions for the run with Basil’s granddaughters leading the runners on their horses for the first few km’s around the property, as well as a nice morning tea and birthday cake afterwards.
Basil was presented with a few gifts from Runners Club and Parkrun and also Basil presented young Brian Sharp with his medal for completing 400 club runs. After the run and morning tea Basil conducted a bit of a tour of his hazelnut farming process.
