 ****************
 BANK OF ENGLAND INTER-CLUB RACE CANCELLED
 We were due to visit the Bank of England Sports Ground at Roehampton on
 Saturday 17th January but this race has unfortunately been cancelled. 

 THE SEASON'S LAST MOB MATCH
 We have never won all four mob matches in a single season. Now is our
 chance! On Sunday 15th February we visit Blackheath's stronghold at Hayes
 (Kent) to run their 7.5 miles course. Yes, Sunday morning (at their
 insistence) starting at 11am. Everyone is needed! If we can repeat those
 hordes of blue vests we have seen in the other mob matches this season we
 can certainly upset the 'heathens and bring home the Pelling Ratcliff Cup. 

 This gives the location of their HQ:.
 Note that the start is a 10 minutes jog away. Trevor Maguire adds the
 following travel details:

 Travel to Blackheath club house may not be easy on a Sunday morning 
 (location 56 Bourne Way, Bromley BR2 7EY).  From Richmond travel by road
 will take about 1hr and 15 mins depending on traffic on the way there
 (probably use the South Circular) but could take longer on the way back.
 By road you have two options:
 * Drive direct to the Blackheath Club House in Hayes in Kent (please
 consider car sharing if possible).  
 * Or sign up for the Minibus by emailing Trevor Maguire trevor.maguire@bt.com 
 to book a seat at a cost of £3 or £4 a head
 (pay on the day) and gather at 9:00 in OLD DEER PARK Car Park in Richmond
 (next to the A316) - we will return to the same location at an estimated
 15:00 (after shower, tea/cakes and presentations)
 By public transport you should aim for Hayes (Kent) train station which is
 about 10 mins walk to their Club House.  
 * Rail travel has been made more challenging as the train service from
 London Waterloo East to London Bridge is closed on Sunday 15th February.  
 * In simple terms the way to get to Hayes (Kent) train station is to
 take either the 9:10 or 9:40 train from London Bridge which takes 36min.
 Taking the 10:10 is probably too late unless you run hard from the station -
 arrives at the station at 10:46 and after a 5 min jog to the club house you
 have another 10 mins jog to the start (the race starts at 11!!).  [There are
 several rail routes with multiple changes via Clapham junction, Denmark Hill
 etc. but I think they are too confusing!]
 * Catching a train from Richmond to London Waterloo will take about
 half an hour (8:09, 8:35 or  8:38 should be fine - later trains mean relying
 on a fast connection to London Bridge).  
 * Then travel by tube or bus to London Bridge.  Jubilee or Northern
 Line tube lines for London Bridge (Jubilee Line is direct, but for Northern
 Line change branches via Kennington) - both will take train tickets because
 of the rail closure.
 * The Jubilee line is quickest tube route (also has engineering works
 but will be closed only from Waterloo going North so it should be OK going
 South to get to London Bridge) but please check nearer the time.  
 * As a guide a return rail journey from Richmond to Hayes (Kent) costs
 £11.
  
 THURSDAY NIGHT TRACK TRAINING AT OSTERLEY
 The club is subsidising for an experimental period track sessions on
 Thursday evenings at the Osterley track. All groups and all abilities are
 welcome! The sessions started last week and will run for three months, every
 Thursday 7.30-8.30pm.  Link to the map is here:.

 2XU SURREY LEAGUES 
 The climax to the Surrey League season is on Saturday 7th February when the
 women compete at Coulsdon and the men at home in Richmond Park. The women's
 race is 8km starting at 12 noon, followed by the junior events. The men run
 8km at 3pm, with the junior race preceding it at 2.30pm.  

 QUIZ NIGHT
 After the League races we'll be holding one of our popular quiz nights in
 the clubhouse - that's Saturday 7th February, starting at 7pm. It's teams of
 four, make up your own team or just turn up on the night. Cost is £10 to
 include a fish and chip supper. Put the date in your diary and let Andy
 Hayward andrewhayward@catalinare.com  know if you're planning to come.

 SATURDAY LIVE
 Paul Sinton-Hewitt CBE - recently placed number 93 in The Daily Telegraph's
 Britons of the Year 2014 - was a guest on Radio 4's Saturday Live programme
 last Saturday morning. It's well worth a listen - you can catch up with it here:.
 Paul's interview starts at about 18:09.  

 RANELAGH HARRIERS RICHMOND HALF MARATHON  Sunday 3rd May
 Entries are already coming in steadily for our Half Marathon on May 3rd.
 Over 400 have already been received, and the race usually fills up well
 before the closing date. So if you're planning to run, don't delay in
 submitting your entry. If you're not running, note the date anyway - we need
 large numbers of marshals on the day.

 LONDON MARATHON ENTRY
 Janet Kugele writes:
 "I was fortunate enough to obtain a Marathon Bond Place to this year's
 London Marathon but sadly due to injury I am unable to compete. Therefore I
 am asking If anyone else in the club would like to run for a local charity.
 Although the charity haven't asked for any money, they did pay £380 for the
 place, so ideally if you could raise this amount or above, they would be
 very grateful.

 About the charity - Geoffs Place is a registered charity (no.1151020) and
 has been supporting a group of people with learning disabilities, many of
 whom have no family contact. This enables them to have a break away from
 their sometimes isolated environment, thus allowing them to interact with
 their peers and be part of wider society. Originally they rented holiday
 accommodation, but as costs rose, it become more difficult to cover
 expenses. They soon realised that escalating costs would put the cost of a
 holiday out of the reach of the group; this is when they decided to purchase
 a holiday home at Parkdean on Hayling Island to provide low cost
 accommodation. Fund raising and donations from supporters have provided the
 deposit and some repayments, but they still need to raise more funds to
 complete the purchase. The aim is that the caravan will eventually become a
 self-funding holiday home exclusively for adults with learning disabilities.
 The holiday home is available to rent for families, organisations, etc who
 are involved in supporting adults with learning disabilities. See www.geoffsplace.org.uk 

 If you are interested, can you please let me know by 5 February, as I need
 to advise the charity of the name of the runner who will be replacing me -
 jdkugele@sky.com."

 WHAT'S HAPPENED
 ***************
 SURREY COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS  Saturday 3rd January at Lloyd Park, Croydon.
 There was a bronze bonanza for Ranelagh in the Surrey Championships at Lloyd
 Park. Third place in both the men's and women's races went to runners in the
 blue and gold, and to put the icing on the cake our women's team also
 finished third. "Gloop" was how Will Cockerell on the Belgrave website
 described the conditions at Lloyd Park. Just so. It's a venue that tends to
 the wet at the best of times, but today it provided particularly gloopy
 going. 

 Last year's Surrey Championships saw the debut in Ranelagh colours of Gill
 Sanders and she strode into second place leaving spectators and runners all
 wondering "Who's she?". As triathlon is Gill's main sport she remains -
 twelve months later - comparatively little known in cross-country circles.
 But perhaps it didn't come as quite such a surprise this year for the
 cognoscenti to see her forming part of the leading group in the early
 stages. The Aldershot pair of Bruinvels and Wicks soon moved clear but Gill
 established herself in a clear third place which she held to the finish -
 another great run. Estelle Damant - herself a former silver medallist on
 this course - backed up well in 11th place, four ahead of Megan de Silva.
 Then it fell to skipper Becky Hall to complete the scoring team of four,
 though she had Bonnie Morgan breathing down her neck. 

 Aldershot - with four runners home in the top nine - ran away with the team
 race and SLH took the silvers but we were delighted to find that we had held
 off Clapham and Belgrave to secure the bronzes. 

 In the senior men's race it was Belgrave's Olympian Pascar Owor who was
 always in control despite there being only one second in it at the finish
 between him and Pearce of Tonbridge. It was great to see Ralph Street mixing
 it with the best of them and finishing in third place only a little over 20
 seconds behind the winner. This performance qualifies Ralph for the club
 Honours award - congratulations!  Behind Ralph there was something of a
 scratch Ranelagh team with Steve Whitehead leading the rest home in 68th
 place. Rick Jenner, David Lawley, Trevor Maguire and Mick Lane closed in the
 team in 11th place. 

 Leonie Kennedy, Frida Roper and Euan Sinclair all performed well for us in
 the Under 13 events.         


 2XU SURREY LEAGUE DIVISION 1  Saturday 9th January at Wimbledon Common
 (women) and Streatham Common (men)
 Wimbledon and Streatham Commons would appear to have little in common.
 Indeed the route from one to the other - for those who tried to attend both
 - was particularly tortuous. But today they shared one unavoidable
 characteristic - mud! 

 Our women were in action first over a heavy and hilly two-lap course
 starting at the University Playing Fields in Putney Vale - usually Thames
 Hare & Hounds territory, though the main organisers on this occasion were
 Wimbledon Windmilers. Appropriately it was the Windmilers who mustered the
 biggest team on the day, but Ranelagh's 21 runners was the second-best
 turnout - an excellent effort and very encouraging. 

 Megan de Silva led our team once again, and after running in the teens
 throughout the race a typically spirited finish took her into 13th place.
 Marie Synnott-Wells and Bonnie Morgan were never far apart in the 40s and
 50s and then a few places further back Becky Hall and Julia Bailey fought
 amongst themselves for the fourth and fifth spots in the scoring team.
 Backing up not far behind was Gwen McCormack, and then Gemma Cory and Lara
 Werrett led in the rest. Our B team which placed  20th overall (and fifth B
 team) was completed by Marilyn Horne and Michelle Davies. A special mention
 for Viviana Uyaban who had only just become a member and had never run
 cross-country before!        

 Our A team placed 10th on the day, 9th amongst the 'A's, and they hold the
 same position overall with one league race to go. 

 Izzy Atkins made her club debut with an impressive 4th place in the Under
 13s race, with Frida Roper finishing 46th.

 Captain Killingley - himself still relegated to the position of onlooker as
 his broken metatarsal slowly heals - takes up the story for the men's race: 

 "Facing the wind, hills and mud of Streatham Common, more than one person
 remarked that this was a proper cross-country course.  The third fixture
 last season was similar (Wimbledon Common in a storm and mudbath) and it was
 also our best of the season.   If only it had been two to score - we'd have
 won, with Ralph Street in 3rd and Jon Pepper (training run!) in 5th.
 Nonetheless, there were excellent runs from Eirin McDaid, moving through the
 field to claim an unexpected 18th in a return to form, Jordan Mungovan,
 clocking 44th in possibly his best race in ten years, and George Howard in
 46th - nailing his target of hitting the top fifty. Jackson Creegan was
 disappointed with 35th after promising form in the two mob matches was
 hijacked by Christmas illness.  Trevor Maguire's bid (judging by the first
 half mile) to make the top 20 turned into a solid 61st place, and he was
 shortly followed by a hamstrung Peter Haarer, evergreen Steve Whitehead, and
 anchorman Ted Mockett.

 We had 23 runners out, and probably (although I haven't checked) won the 23
 to score prize too, with some speedy individuals failing to make our top 10.
 Only Herne Hill's and Kent's 11th man beat ours - Mark Herbert.  Also, there
 was an excellent start for Michael Dorgan - racing for the first time for
 the club - in 100th place, and Ian Kenton returning to form.  Credit also
 goes to a horribly jet-lagged Carl Selya-Hammer for showing up having landed
 from New York that morning, though he never hit his usual rhythm.

 We are now 43 points ahead of Belgrave, having leapfrogged them into 6th.
 They tend to perform well in the last fixture, so holding them off will be
 tough. But unlike last season, Division 1 racing next year is assured before
 the final fixture. We are 646 points ahead of 8th place, each Croydon runner
 would have to beat each of ours by 65 points to overtake us, and given they
 only placed one runner inside the top 70 today, that seems a tad unlikely!"

 Streatham Common - though windswept and cold, as well as muddy - was popular
 with most of the runners for its combination of wide open spaces and wooded
 sections. Sadly, however, it may well not be used again, unless Lambeth
 Council backs down on its charge of £275 for the event to go ahead. League
 Secretary Martin Duff has sent the Council a well-phrased letter of
 complaint, so we'll have to wait and see what comes of it.      

                                                
 NEW YEAR'S DAY 10km  Thursday 1st January in Hyde Park
 Alan Davidson writes:
 "I gave in to the bitterly cold weather over the Christmas period and didn't
 race, instead doing short training runs from home. I stepped outside
 yesterday for the Hyde Park 10k but the rain and strong wind nearly made me
 step back indoors!"
