* After controversy surrounding eponymous clubs, (much of it generated by Danny Norman of Norman club fame), I have decided to rename the Hoffman club not after the first person to achieve 50 events in their first 50 parkruns (Roderick Hoffman) but after the latest person or people to achieve it, therefore this week it is known as the Charlton club.
