Message from Garry Baines

At Sunday's meeting, I stated that we were now around 60 points in front of Horwich in the Club Championship. I deliberately under-played the true position because I wanted to see the official results first. We are actually 119 points in front of Horwich with one race - Gin Pit - left.
In other words the trophy is ours to lose.
We need all our best runners out for Gin Pit (even on one leg) to ensure we secure maximum points and stave off any potential challenge from Horwich. This includes the Lady runners as it's a club event and their positions count in the scoring. If we can do this, then I'm sure we'll come home with the bacon (especially if Ian Hamilton runs).

Some individual trophies have already been decided:-

Mary-Anne has won the overall Ladies Inidividual Trophy - congratulations Mary-Anne.
Brenda has won the Ladies V45 category - she doesn't need to race at Gin Pit if she's not fit. Again a big well done.
Pete Chan has come 4th overall in the Men's category and 2nd in the V45 category.
Ian Hamilton has come 2nd in the V55 category.Just one last effort - let's get out there to support our club and to win the trophy.
Thanks.
