January 2012 10K Handicap

Given that it came just a few hours after the finish of the annual dinner dance at Chobham Golf Club on the Saturday night, January's 10K saw a very good turn-out, not too many bleary eyes or hangovers, and some fine performances!

A cold calm morning gave ideal conditions for running, but meant apprentice scorers Tony and Steve had a challenge to keep warm.

The results were:

Laura Hales	40m  02s
Keith Hull	40m  59s
Jim Brown	41m  36s
Simon Edwards	41m  39s
Geoff Williams	42m  39s
Ian Mcdermott-Paine	43m  50s
Chris McAneny	44m  24s
Sachiko Dixon	46m  55s
Chris Dent	46m  55s
Robert Littlejohn	47m  35s
Martin Cox	47m  46s
Christelle Gental	48m  35s
Robin Wakefield	48m  57s
Mark Coxhead	50m  16s
Paul Conlan	51m  46s
Pam Berriman	54m  02s
Barbara Rodriguez	54m  32s
Dave Pearce	54m  52s

Well done to all the runners.

And the winners are........

The 2012 Club Dinner Dance, and 2011 Awards Presentation, was held on 28th January at Chobham Golf Club. The evening saw 73 members and guests wining and dining with excellent catering as always by the golf club, followed by the 2011 club awards and trophies, and then a few hours of dancing the night away. Jo Smith had done a fantastic job of decking the dining suite out in club green and black, plus club-themed balloons, and also in arranging for the evening to run smoothly for everybody.

The club trophy winners for 2011 are:

Mens Champion: Danny Mahoney
Ladies Champion: Christelle Gental
Peter Dimmock Trophy: Robin Wakefield
Roland's Trophy: Geoff Williams

There were special awards for our outgoing Mens and Ladies Captains, Chris and Katie. Also a special presentation was made for Barry and Jonathan, both stepping down after many years on the club committee. The club has benefited greatly from all their efforts over the years.

The evening was made even more special because it was Nathan Green's 40th Birthday, an event that was celebrated in style, and which gave everyone an excuse to sing and to eat big chunks of chocolate cake!

Frimley Park Run - New Year's Day

Just a few of our Windle Valleyers who turned up for the “One Hundred” Park Run in Frimley this morning. I did not run myself as I was the Official Shootist!

Those who have not participated in the Park Runs as yet then, if they wish to, just get onto the Park Run Site  http://www.parkrun.org.uk and register plus download your personal Race Bar Code. It is all free!

However, it was a good turnout for the New Year Race

Pete Manion stormed in first out of the Windle Crew. He was

Placed 10^th and clocked 19.24

Next was Simon Calderbank 21.16

Russell Conaway was a first timer at this event and clocked in at 22.29

Robin Wakefield zoomed in under the 24min mark at 23.54

Chris Dent cruised in a little later - 24.31

Next came Russell’s lad, Reece with a blinding first time event

putting us all to shame - 24.33

Anne Maria was our first lady in & her lads competed in the 

one lap event   27.54

Come and race next week - from Tony Sheridan

I am just trying to round up a few bods to participate in a New Year race that will be held in Great Windsor Park  on the 8^th January

As in the past, we usually join up with our friends from Woking Athletic Club who run under the name of “Magic”

It is run as a MABAC Cross Country League event and has a large following. This park run will be managed by Runnymede Runners

It is an 8 mile race and can be a bit hilly, so not for the faint hearted!

The idea is to beat your own age in minutes so a good challenge for the New Year

There is no fee and it will be run on the road. The start time is 1100 hrs

Take some pins along for your Race Number

The event start and finish is located about 800m from Blacknest Gate just past the first bridge

For more information about this event, then please contact Tony Sheridan   Land Line   01276 471 931 or Mob   07831 785 695

Cheers

Tony

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all our runners. Hoping you achieve all your goals for 2012.
