Clowne RR News - Sept 24th 2010

Well done to all Clowne runners who have been racing recently. It's been quite busy recently with the Bawtry Forest trail race, the Exterminator ( a tough fell race so special congratulations to everyone for completing this -- results are online at http://www.clowneroadrunners.org/2010results.html )and the Spire 10, and of course the Robin Hood half/full marathon, and the Great North Run.

Also, I was unable to make the recent club trip, but I've heard from a reliable authority that it was a success & people are looking foward to doing it all again. Apparently Paul Sadler ran out of fuel, and had to be helped gently from the fells. Perhaps he should drink more beer the night before?! Special thanks should be passed from all at the club to all the people who had a hand in organising this - hopefully there will be another event next year. Photos & a report can be found on our website -- http://www.clowneroadrunners.org/clubtrip11sept2010.html

Clumber 10k - Marshalls needed
As many people will know the Clumber 10k is taking place this Sunday. If anyone is available to marshall can they please contact John Harrison ASAP on **************

National X-Country Relays are taking place on Saturday 6th November at Berry Hill Park, Mansfield. We can enter a maximum of 3 teams in each age group, which for our club would mean 12 men (over 20 years) and 9 women (over 20 years). The closing date for entry is 15th October 2010. If you want to take part please email me. I'll also bring this along to the next meeting - which I believe is next Friday.

Jog Derbyshire Meeting - 8th October
Also, Tom Crampton the Jog Derbyshire coordinator has been in touch regarding a meeting taking place on 8th October:-

attend a meeting on Friday 8th October at 10am at Godkin House, Ripley. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the possibility of Jog Derbyshire becoming an England Athletics affiliated club. At the moment, there are no specific plans to do so, but we are seriously looking at the possibility as a way of sustaining the project for the foreseeable future. Before we begin the process we thought it important to discuss this with clubs already linked to the Jog Derbyshire project and Steve Moore from EA to gauge opinion and work out the best way to move forwards.

Please contact Tom directly if you would like to attend, or if you are unable to attend but would like to discuss this with him further. His numbers are:-
