Review of our achievements for 2017
Looking back over the year 2017 our membership should be proud of everything the Quakers have achieved.
All of our Coaches and Club Officers are volunteers who dedicate their own time to carry out the responsibilities that come with their roles. This in itself is a great achievement.
In addition to this we have had many people volunteer their time to help with local parkrun marshalling, 50 volunteered at the Race for Life, marshalling at Hardmoors events and even litter picking on the Cleveland Way.
The annual Lyke Wake Challenge organised by Anthony Corbett and Roy Macdougall resulted in great feedback to our club from the participants. Our members are fabulous at being marshalls to the ultra distance runners. The feedback we had was excellent organisation with friendly, smiley and encouraging marshalls.
2017 saw the introduction of the beginners 10 week programme coached by Emma Joyeux and Roy Macdougall and the latest group with Lee Morris with support from other coaches. This is very successful and the beginners achieved their goal of completing the parkrun at the end of the programme.
We have had Quakers taking part in parkuns not only the length and breadth of the UK but from Canada to Auckland, New Zealand. As well as this we have members who have competed in events worldwide.
The annual Club Trip to Reims was a great success with some of our athletes being placed in the top three in their age categories.
We have people that attend sessions and achieve their goals and others that love to enter events. The distance ranges massively from 100m on the track, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon and then the Ultra Marathons which can be any distance over 26.2miles. We had a relay team compete in a 200 miles event. Many of our members have tried new terrain and have taken part in road, fell, trail, track, Cross Country, Duathlons and Triathlons.
Many of our members worked in teams to work towards the Clubmark accreditation. In doing this we implemented a lot of good changes and documented all of our policies and processes.
Last year we raised a lot of money for charity. The Lyke Wake event raised the most we ever had to give to two mountain rescue teams and the BHF. The events organised by the Social Committee that many of you will have attended has raised a fantastic amount for the BHF. On top of this the entry of a food item to take part in the Summer Trail Series organised by the Race Development Committee resulted in us helping the local food bank.
It is the time of year when we ask you to vote for the members to take the Club Awards. Over the year the achievements have been published in both the Weekly Press Report and the Monthly Achievements. This leads us to the summary of what the achievements we have seen throughout 2017. Please note that the list will not include every single achievement for every member if it has not previously been included in any report and are available over several pages so please do click through the pages. A huge well done to everyone.
