Hi Everyone

Firstly may I wish you all a happy (and injury free) new year !

So, we have reached the final club championship results for the year - and what a year for the championship and the club. It has been brilliant to see so many of you out there at the events, some of you trying running off-road for the first time too. It has been mentioned to me at several races during the year that "there are a lot of your lot here today" ; which is great because it means we are being noticed. I know of one major race where we were the largest represented club there - in addition to Darlington 10k of course !

The last race proved to be a strange one - with lots of snow and ice causing real problems - but we still managed nearly 30 entries (there were a couple of non-finishers too).

Unbelievably after 28 races we have 2 runners at the top with exactly the same points - 546 out of a maximum of 550 !! My congratulations on a brilliant season to these two - Brian Martin and Wayne Bramley - and also to third place, only 4 points behind, former winner Steve Snook.

There were 108 members who competed in at least 1 championship event - which is an amazing feat - and my thanks to you all.

Details of the 2010 club championship will be compiled in the next couple of months - so watch this space and the website for further details.

Thanks
Anthony Corbett
