Apologies for the picture – I completely forgot to take any of anyone running; so this was the best I could obtain!
The 2022 Road Championship results have been corrected and can be seen here. We’d like to hear from members about the structure. Are you happy with it as it stands? Do you have any suggestions? Whilst the structure can’t be changed for the current (2023) Championship, changes could be made for 2024. Please email Brenda at arnoldbradshaw@btinternet.com.

The club is once again to make an award to one member of the ladies’ senior section and one member of the men’s senior section who is considered to be the outstanding athlete of the year, following the popularity of previous years’ awards. This will take the form of a tankard and, in order to make a representative choice, I am asking all members of the senior section to vote for the member they consider deserves the award most.
The choice does not necessarily have to be a club champion. Factors worthy of consideration would include a substantial improvement over the year, an outstanding result in a particular meeting, or you may like to consider a contribution to the coaching side of the club or a member who has represented the club in a manner deserving of recognition.
Awards will be made at the Christmas Handicaps on Sunday 18th December and nominations will be accepted on the day.
Alternatively, you can send your nominations to Kevin Dillon
Or let Debbie Beresford know your nominations.

Congratulations to the overall winners:
Awards will be presented at a Special Social Evening– the date of which is currently being finalised. Meanwhile, Members are asked to look through the list of “Races Run” and the “Road Champs Table” below.

We didn’t manage to get together for an awards night this year. A few of the winners did get together for a picture:
Winners:
Given the lack of races this year we’re rolling the 2020 and 2021 Senior Road Race Championships into one so any races you did manage will still count. Rules here: Senior Road Running Championship
2019 Calculations below.
It’s most unlikely we will be able to hold a Presentation Evening this year, so we’ve decided to publish the 2019 Road Championship results. Members are asked to look through the list of “Races Run” and the “Table”; if you find any errors and/or omissions, please contact Brenda by the 14th November. As it stands, we’ll be giving nine awards as shown on the “Winners” attachment and we’ll post the awards to the winning individuals early in December.
