The 2nd A&T v Swinton Challenge

Many thanks to all the members who competed in the 2nd Swinton Challange on Wednesday.
I'm sure everyone enjoyed the occasion and the format was fair and well organised, even if some of the later runners needed a blind dog to get round the course in the dark.
Unfortunately we were unable to retain the trophy and narrowly lost the challenge by 4 to 3.
Never mind, it's the taking part that counts and we had a nice spread of runners with differing abilities.
Our thanks should also go to Swinton for organising the event, for the marshalls who stood out in the dark and of course to the chef who made the excellent hotpot and vegetable chilli.
We'll be back for our trophy next year Swinton!
