Community Page

Since Milton Keynes is a new city it means that a lot of us have recently moved here and don't know the area that well.  In the spirit of that this page exists to form a virtual community where you can place local knowledge that will be helpful to the Striders for the non-running related parts of their lives.

Broadband & Technology

If you are tired of buying from the faceless Amazon and want to source your technology locally and speak to friendly, intelligent people who really understand it, then look no further than Broadband Buyer.

They sped up my broadband from 2Mb to 6Mb with their iPlate and I've bought loads of network related stuff from them, highly recommended.

Tiling

Our club secretary James Coulson is a first rate tiler and has done some work for me & comes highly recommended.  Please feed him plenty of biscuits to slow him down at our running sessions.

Butchers

Whilst running through the many parks of Milton Keynes and admiring the sheep and cows, have you ever thought I'd love to eat one of those.  Well now you can, the Parks Trust now sell fresh meat and deliver it to your door.  I've just these several times and the quality is excellent.
