Club

Club President - Dale Colclough

Dale joined the club in 1992 and during the 90's and 00's the club was a massive part of his life.

He previously served as club Chairperson and Men’s Team Manager and subsequently advised and supported club members with their marathon training. He's always held a firm belief that the friendly, social and inclusive aspects to our club are it's strength and it’s great to see that those values have been maintained. 

Whilst his running has been on hold for the last eight years he has always kept himself fit by cycling, swimming and walking, and his interests are all outdoor related, you'll often see him walking and orienteering on high ground.

Club Chairman - Mark Gibson

Mark was appointed as Club Chair following our 2024 AGM. He joined as a complete beginner in August 2018 and has since gone on to run many half marathons, several marathons but also international races including Frankfurt and Paris. He says that his greatest running achievement was to start running in the first place as he thought it was a bizarre thing to do. His go to post race tasty treat is of course a Weatherspoons and if you mention cars or motorcycles he'll bore you, sorry, entertain you for hours.

Club Secretary & Ladies Team Captain - Debbie Thomas

Debbie joined TRC in 2006 after annoying everyone in the gym by hogging the treadmill, she was told to go and run outside! She prefers middle to long distance races but gives the shorter ones a go now and then to keep sharp. She leads one of the 'fast' groups and was promoted to ladies team captain in 2014. She provides the doughnuts at XC events and enjoys a good chinwag! 

Membership Secretary - Walter Mosiuk

Walter is in his second life of running, a stupid whim which saw him and his son Chris entering the Great North Run for their 50th and 21st birthdays on consecutive days led to his comeback, and he hasn't stopped running since. 

As well as making sure our members are paid up and properly registered with England Athletics, he also manages the website, the Club Championships and Beginner group admin, and has a reputation for his epic Sunday runs !!

Club Treasurer - Laura Hughes

Laura keeps a check on Club finances and reports back at the committee meetings.

She's a regular runner and run leader in our Middle group and can normally be seen chatting with fellow members as the miles pass by.

When she's not running she'll be first in line for a party and is usually pictured on FB with a drink on the table or in her hand !!

Juniors Head Coach & Co-ordinater - Ryan Procter

Ryan has been a member since 2006 but doesn't find time to do as much running himself these days. Ryan started the Junior Section in 2010 and is their Head Coach. He is also involved with the Staffordshire Athletics Network and is chair of the Junior Action Group, and serves as a Race Adjudicator for England Athletics. 

Ryans best running memory is completing the London Marathon in the morning and watching his beloved Stoke City beat Bolton 5-1 at Wembley that same afternoon.

Mens Team Captain & Committee Member - Chris Mosiuk

Chris has aways been active, sporty and very competitive. He first became a club runner in 2007 joining Trentham Running Club but he'd probably be the first to admit his first passion before running is football.

Chris took on the role of mens team captain in 2021 so you know if he approaches you, it's not just for a social or friendly chat, it's because he wants you in the team.

He's also completed the necessary qualifications to become an EA Endurance Official, another string to his bow and asset to the Club

Health & Safety Officer & Committee Member - Helen Nicholls

Helen joined us in 2014, also a keen netball player and a girl guide leader, juggling her free time between them. 

Taking her role of health and safety very seriously, she played a vital role for the Club during Covid with procedures, practices and risk assessments which allowed us to continue.

Also a committee member and run leader, instrumental in implementing the new look Beginner classes. 

With an eye for detail if Helen's on your case make sure your i's are dotted and your t's are crossed.

Mental Health Ambassador & Committee Member - Simone Baggaley

The programme was launched by England Athletics in 2016, in partnership with mental health charity Mind. By establishing a support network of ambassadors in running groups and affiliated clubs, it aims to encourage those experiencing mental health issues to begin, return to or continue running, using running as a positive tool to improve mental wellbeing. Our ambassador will aim to support both new and existing club members. Part of the programme is the #runandtalk campaign. Improving mental wellbeing through running.

Simone is also a Run Leader and heads up our Beginner group sessions.
