    This is the plan.

    
    

    Monday 15 September - gather at AO (spaces limited to 20) to kick off a kimchi then head out for a long-ish (10km run).

    
    

    Monday 10 November - Return to AO with our now-matured kimchi, go for another long ish run, then join AO's Monday night cooking club to make a Kimchi-themed dinner.
