Tony Trembirth Award 2009

Date: 28/01/2010 - 22:20

Each year all club members are invited to vote for a member of the club who, in their opinion, has contributed or enhanced the well being of the club or perhaps has completed some monumental task during the year.

The very popular winner, this year, was RICHARD HYDE.

Calling all 10 minute milers!

Date: 18/01/2010 - 20:13

Hi, my name is Karen and I'm a member of the club but I rarely attend on a Wednesday night as being a mere 10 minute miler I worry about slowing others down. I can run a bit faster than that but you know what I mean!

I am hoping to find others who run at my pace but who would like to improve, so we can meet up on club night for a run.

So, whether you're an existing member, or would like to join the club, please get in touch if you would like to run with me.

My email address is karenjhodgson @ hotmail.com (please remove spaces around the @).

2009 Fell Champs Final Results

Date: 18/01/2010 - 16:47

The final scores for the Fell Champs of 2009 are now in the "Championships" Section. The editor delayed putting these in to allow for the usual complaints etc. from certain members of the Fell Running Fraternity!

Well done to Richard Hyde for winning both categories with commiserations to Matty for coming second in yet another club competition! (Rumour has it that Richard only won because he took part in most events!!!). One supposes that is the way it should be ... If you don't take part you can't win!

Santa Lights Run

Date: 04/01/2010 - 20:55

Many thanks to all who braved the snowy weather for our annual jog round Long Eaton and Sandiacre to see the Christmas Lights on Wednesday 23rd. Everyone managed to get round in one piece!!

An excellent buffet was neatly laid out by Shirley, Melanie and others which was very welcome after "ploughing" through the snow.

The recipients of the two automatic entries for The London Marathon were Simon Pitts and Andy Clayton ... We are sure they will do us proud!!

From the Retford Times:

GRATEFUL Karen Hodgson has completed a 13-mile half-marathon – three years after a life-saving heart transplant.

Barn dance photos

Date: 07/09/2009 - 10:47

The club barn dance on Saturday September 5th was a great success. Thanks to everyone who attended and helped prove that runners can't dance!

Slightly blurred photographs below... they must have been moving too fast.

Even more embarrassing, there is also a video of the event.

Handicap Race 2009

Date: 27/08/2009 - 16:11

Congratulations to Andy Clayton for winning this year's handicap, you will most probably be a marked man from now on!!!

It must be noted that Andy could possibly have won by default ... Both favourites to win did not heed the warnings and therefore paid the price of not reconnoitring the route beforehand and ran a bit further than they needed to !!!!!

We shall not mention Maurice falling over and , therefore, hindering his chance of winning!

Pairs 2009

Date: 27/08/2009 - 15:14

Again, it was a very close run thing with JEFF GIFFORD pipping Maurice Davey by just One Point!
The breakdown of races were:
