In brief

SUNDERLAND Harriers, annual 5k Road Race is on Wednesday, July 20 (7:15).

As we can all see, the bulk of homes are put together leaving little space for the unconventionally shaped piece of furniture. More often than not, people are forced to work on the dining table or couch. However, a secretary desk seems to perform very nicely to rectify that problem. In little places, a writing desk eradicates the boundaries to effectiveness created by heavy modern furniture, providing necessary constructive space that can squeeze in and out of tighter areas. This added space is cherished, in particular when kids are around since they love to help you with just about anything.* Some antique writing desks are small enough for writers who prefer to lounge while writing? THE next fixture of the Start Fitness North Eastern Athletics League is on Wednesday, July 27 (7.00).

Entries include seeded 100m, 200m and 1,500m races with high jump, pole vault, long jump and shot putt for field eventers. The entry desk opens at 6.00.
