Notice of our 2025 AGM

Some of the DVO Committee at a recent Open Meeting

Our Annual General Meeting will take place at Lime Tree Business Park, Lime Tree Road, Matlock on Wednesday October 15th at 7:30pm. In addition to the business part of the meeting (including discussions about entry fees and spending the club’s money),  Ann-Marie will give a talk about the East Midlands Junior Squad. This feeds nicely into John’s talk about his recent Interland competition. John not only ran for England, but organised the tour!

All are very welcome, and it’s a good opportunity to meet club-mates when not sweaty, breathless or lost!
