Club record and Road Relays

[STEVE LOMAS]

Dear All,

Congratulations to Colin Ardron who, yesterday (Sunday), broke the Club’s M65 10K record with a time of 48 minutes, 13 seconds.
This was set at the hilly Tameside 10K and Colin was also the first M65 at the race.

The full results are here;

Please note that the men now have enough members for a team at this month’s Northern Road Relay Championships at Warrington.

The team is: Mark Walker, Mark Wheelton, Tim Stock, Phil Barnes, Martin Platt and Steve Lomas.

If anyone has been half tempted to make themselves available for the event and is willing to be a non-travelling reserve in case of injury or illness to any of the team then please can you reply to the forum or to my e-mail sent out to my circulation list. The relays take place on the afternoon of Saturday, 24th September, starting at 2.00pm.

Best regards,
Steve

I am quite staggered that amongst all the male senior runners in the club that we can only seem to find the bearest of numbers to make 1 team.
Shame on us.
I haven't done a road race in absolutely years as I tend to stick strictly to the fells where there is more than enough to do.
You can stick me down as a reserve.
Cheers & well done Steve for organising a team.

Congratulations Colin, very well done!

[STEVE LOMAS]

Craig, many thanks for volunteering to be a non-travelling reserve.

Just to record that James Noakes, Chris Harbron, Chris Bentley and Neil Gunn all expressed interest in taking part in the relays but stated that, unfortunately, they were unavailable on the day. James had already entered the Macc Half taking place the following day and Neil is heavily involved in the organisation of the marshalls for the Half.
