Not a too bad turnout seeing that it was a public holiday weekend. There were 19 runners which included 3 guests.  Although the weather was warm, but frequent and sometime heavy showers did not help the runners.

Congratulations to Naseem Lister for winning this month’s candesticks. Claire Primett was runner-up but was not just that faster to challenge Naseem even though her run was a personal best.

Congratulations must also go to Louise Welsford and Elaine Shannon who also recorded personal best runs.

Many thanks to Nell Neale for looking after the timing and to Yvette Dumler who dealt with the registration and also recorded the numbers of the runners in finishing order.

The next Staggered Jog will be held on Sunday, 25 September 2016 starting at 10-00a.m.   Registration will be from 9-30p.m.

Quite a good turnout with 21 finishers. Although the weather was fine and warm,  it affected the running as there were no “plus’s” in the 12 months’ PBs which is rather
unusual. Consequently, there were no personal bests recorded.

However, congratulations to Gary Heron for winning this month’s Candlesticks.

Many thanks to Yvette Dumler, who we have not seen for some time, for  recording the finishing times.  Welcome back, Yvette.

The next Staggered Jog will be held on Sunday, 28 August 2016 commencing at 10.00am
Registration will be from 9-30am.

Congratulations to Louise Welsford for not only winning this month’s candlesticks but also for achieving a new personal PB.

Many thanks for all those who helped on the day including Suzie Buck, Abi Ross, and Caroline Sealey.

The next Staggered Jog will take place on Sunday,31  July 2016 commmencing at 10-00am.  Registration will take place at 9-30am. Please do not leave it to the last
minute.
