What do we do?

Our club covers Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath, Chadwick End and Hockley Heath. We are a group of volunteers who run local events such as the Knowle Fun Run, the Festive Walk and the Heart of England Bike Ride. We welcome all genders. We raise money for charity but we also serve the community undertaking activities such as litter picking and Vaccination Centre support. We rely on members giving up their time to plan, run and participate in events. Many of our members are active and participate in the events but we also welcome members who have limited mobility and can contribute from home. We are well supported by local businesses. As a club, we have a Club social calendar for events such as quizzes, meals out and "competitive" activities. If you are considering doing any of these things, why not join us?

SUPPORTING LOCAL SCHOOLS


The young lady in the enclosed photos is Alice Bragg, aged 7*. Alice attends Dorridge Primary School and is a wheelchair user. Also in the photos is staff member Ruth Taylor. Present, but not in the photos was Robyn Morrey in her role as Inclusion Manager for the school.


The photos show Alice at an accessible table funded by Knowle and Dorridge Lions and presented to Dorridge School. The table allows Alice or any other wheelchair user to mix with friends and classmates during break and lunchtimes.  Alice is a bright and enthusiastic young lady and all hope that the table will enhance her time at school.


Knowle Fun Run - a great day for an ice cream!

The 38th Knowle Fun Run took place on the 19th May 2024. The number of registrations continued to rise this year and we had just short of 1250 runners. Adrian Harris, Fun Run lead, said “it was a great occasion and everyone, both runners and spectators, appeared to have a wonderful time.” He went on to say “we were blessed with good weather so the spectators at Arden were able to enjoy the day and enjoy a hot dog, burger and especially an ice cream.” 

 

A number of runners said how nice it was that so many turned out to cheer them around the route.  With over 1,200 participants we expect to have raised around £20,000 our best year since before the Covid pandemic which put a break on such events and discouraged some from taking part in the last two years.
