24 people braved the winter chill to trot around our traditional handicap route.
Following his recent success at the masters international Gerry Bell was tipped as the pre race favourite.
His contemporaries and training partners described his handicap as "favourable".
The favourite tag once again proved a heavy burden as poor Gerry suffered a recurrence of a calf injury and limped back to the start having only gone a mile.
The recent heavy rain and the overnight ice had made underfoot conditions difficult which slowed down the faster runners Sheila Witham triumphed with a comfortable win proving that extra training pays off. Well done Sheila.
Our President once again recorded the fastest time of the day, and Mary Green was fastest lady. Well Done to Both.
Martin is now studying for his coaching qualifications and he was rewarded with several books on running.
Thanks to all who turned out to run, thanks to John and Tony for time keeping, to all who donated prizes and to the marshals on the course. A special thanks to Mike Smith our former president, who turned ambulance driver to return a second injured runner (Peter Ellerton) to the finish.
