SlowbutShore, are you certain you're in the Nottingham area, judging by your screen name, I would've guessed you'd be on the coast.
If you're in Notts, come along to Notts AC, runners of all standards are more than welcome. It's a great club, very friendly and I'm certain you'd enjoy it. Tuesday night session, 6:30pm @ Harvey Hadden Satdium on Wigman Road in Bilborough. There's also a track session on Thursday and a long run Sunday. Feel free to drop me an email if you need additional information
