NEXT EVENTS IN THE ROAD GRAND PRIX and ROAD LEAGUE
The next race is the Elmore 7 miles, which will be held this Saturday, 18th
July starting at 2pm. The race is on a rolling country lanes course and is
held in conjunction with the Chipstead Village Fair and Flower Show.
Pre-entries are closed but they will accept entries on the day:
Details:..
Next on Sunday 26th July comes the Elmbridge 10km, with a 9am start at the
Xcel Leisure Centre by the river at Walton-on-Thames. It's a flat course,
part road and part Thames towpath. Entries here:.
2015 ROAD GRAND PRIX
The first six events in Ranelagh's Road Grand Prix have taken place and the
leading scores to date are: (Open) Steve Whitehead 51, Ted Mockett 38, Kris
Davidson 35, Phil Killingley 33; (Men Over 40) Steve Whitehead 29, Kris
Davidson 25, Stewart Anderson 20, Duncan Mallison 7; (Men Over 50) Paul
Rider 23, Mick Lane 16, Bill Neely 15, Richard Holme 11; (Women) Marie
Synnott-Wells 21, Megan de Silva 18, Becky Hall 13, Carol Aikin 9; (Women
Over 40) Ellen Clague 16, Wiebke Kortum 12, Mel Davison 11, Kirsty Bangham
and Tanya Allen 7; (Women Over 50) Marie Synnott-Wells 24, Carol Aikin 13,
Deborah Blakemore 11, Lynne Barber 9.
Next event is the Elmore 7 miles this Saturday, see above. Full details of
the Grand Prix here:.
2015 SURREY ROAD LEAGUE
After four events in the Road League and with three to go, Ranelagh's men
hold a handy five point lead over Clapham Chasers. Ranelagh has one first
place and three seconds to Clapham's one first, two thirds and a fifth.
However, only the best five out of the seven races count, so Clapham stand
to make up ground if they can discard that fifth place. Hercules Wimbledon
are also in contention with a first, a second, a fourth and a ninth. In the
women's League Guildford and Godalming are in a commanding position with two
firsts and two thirds. Clapham are next and then Ranelagh in third place
with two seconds, a sixth and a ninth.
In the individual tables Steve Whitehead still leads the over 40 division,
but Ryan Harris of Reigate has three first places to his name and will
surely displace Steve if he runs two more races. Kris Davidson is currently
third in the over 40s and Paul Rider is third in the over 50s. In the
women's tables Marie Synnott-Wells is currently only 4th in the over 45
class, but will be in a strong position to retain her title if she runs two
more races. Megan de Silva is in a similar position in the senior women
category, currently second but with a good prospect of taking the title.
Full details are on the Surrey Athletics website here:.
NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB - WEDDING DAY 7Km Friday 31st July
Included in our Grand Prix but not in the Road League is the Wedding Day
7km, the always-popular event to be held this year on Friday 31st July
starting at 7.30pm in Bushy Park. This race usually reaches its limit, so
enter early. We're the current holders of the mob match trophy for the
greatest number of finishers (excluding organisers Stragglers) and the men's
team trophy. Already there are 80 Ranelagh names on the entry list - come
and join the fun! Details and Entries:.
PERSEVERANCE WIMBLEDON DASH 5km Sunday 9th August starting at 9am in
Wimbledon Park
The climax of both our Grand Prix and the Road League is the Perseverance
Wimbledon Dash 5km. Details and Entries:.
CHRIS BRASHER PONDS RUN Tuesday 21st July in Richmond Park
Owing to how the calendar has worked out this year, we have been obliged to
push back the Brasher Ponds Run to Tuesday 21st July. This is our annual
tribute to the late Chris Brasher, Olympic Gold Medallist, founder of the
London Marathon and long-time member of Ranelagh Harriers. The Ponds run -
visiting all 20+ ponds in the Park - was a favourite of his. We'll set off
in groups, some to tackle all the Ponds (9 miles-ish), others to settle for
a sample.
WHEATSHEAF and PIGEON 5km Saturday 1st August at 1pm in Staines.
For something a little more low-key than most road races, Andy Hayward
writes:
" I would like to encourage entries into the above run. Whilst the
Wheatsheaf & Pigeon (affectionately known locally as the "Wee & Pee") is a
great community pub, publicity is not their strongest point, and I
volunteered to try and help them get a better turn out for the run this
year. It is a very low key but fun event, and the only entry fee is a
(suggested £5) donation to charity (Help for Heroes) supported by the pub,
and last year we even got a free drink thrown in for that! It was a shame
that there were only six entries last year, and it would be great to get
more out to support this worthy cause, especially in this year of continuing
to remember the centenary of WW1, and the 70th anniversary of the end of
WW2. It ties in with a charity 'fun day' at the pub (bouncy castle, music,
BBQ etc.). Note the start is at 1pm.not 12 noon as previously stated.
To celebrate my forthcoming change of circumstances from 'Insurance
Professional' to 'Professional Brewer' and the impending launch of Thames
Side Brewery, I am also expecting a good turnout from my other (lunchtime)
running club - Raven Racers. It was even suggested by Andy Tucker (also of
Blackheath Harriers) that we have a Ranelagh v Ravens mini mob match within
the run, which I thought was a great idea if we get the numbers from both
clubs. I will be doing a BBQ myself in the afternoon/evening, and would
invite all attending Ranelites and Ravens back to ours (about 200 yards away
from the pub) for an afternoon/evening summer party with eats and drinks."
STRENGTH and CONDITIONING SESSIONS
Head coach Karen Weir writes:
"The Ranelagh coaches will be putting on monthly strength and conditioning
sessions on a Tuesday evening after training. These consist of a few short
but very specific exercises for runners, that can then be repeated at home.
If the weather is good we'll be outside where there is a little more room,
however if it's wet we'll try and cater for as many people in the clubhouse
as possible. Sessions will start at 8.30pm and be led by different coaches
each month. Remaining dates/coaches are as follows:
Tuesday 28th July - Chris and Peter, 25th August - Karen ".
THURSDAY NIGHT TRACK TRAINING AT OSTERLEY
The club is continuing to subsidise track sessions on Thursday evenings at
the Osterley track. All groups and all abilities are welcome. The sessions
are every Thursday 7.30-8.30pm. Link to the map is here:.
CONGRATULATIONS...
...to Kate and Andy Woodhouse on the arrival of Eve Elizabeth on Monday 29th
June.
RALPH STREET...
...has been selected to represent Britain at the upcoming World Orienteering
Championships in Inverness. Ralph is down for the Forest Relay event to be
held on August 5th. Best of luck Ralph!
THROWING THE....???
Nobody ventured an answer or even a guess at my little question in the last
e-news, so I'll give you another couple of weeks. You'll have difficulty
finding the answer on the internet, but if you think about what kind of
society China was during the Cultural Revolution, you might be able to make
an inspired guess.
Here's the question:
During the Cultural Revolution in China in the 1960s, which new throwing
event was added to the domestic athletics programme?

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Tuesday 7th July at the clubhouse
Our AGM was conducted at a brisk pace with little controversy. The
Treasurer's, President's, Captains' and Secretary's reports were circulated
before the meeting and were accepted unanimously. It was noted that there is
some overlap in the content of these reports, and it was agreed that all but
the Treasurer's should be amalgamated into a single report next year. Most
of the club officers were kindly prepared to continue in their posts, the
exceptions being the Trophies Steward Alan Hedger and the Kit Stewards
Heather Martingell and Jane Craigie-Payne. Instead, Heather has volunteered
to replace Alan with the Trophies. Michelle Davies takes over the kit. In
addition, Andy Woodhouse has given us notice that he does not wish to
continue after this year as Fixtures Secretary, and Simon Burrell has agreed
to take over. We now have a new post of Welfare Officer and Rob Curtis has
kindly agreed to take this on. David Rowntree has served us for 25 years as
Hon Treasurer and as ever his accounts report was detailed and clear and
showed that we are in a healthy financial position. Wally Garrod requested
that we double check our rights of access to the clubhouse.
Carol Barnshaw kindly provided refreshments for those who attended the
meeting and we were also able to taste the output from of Andy Hayward's new
Thames Side Micro-Brewery. Excellent!
COAD CUP 5 miles handicap Tuesday 14th July in Richmond Park
Record attendances have become quite commonplace for us recently and here
was another. The clubhouse was packed well before 7pm and the poor hard
working officials thought the queue to register would never end. Finally a
record for a handicap race of 95 members and guests put their names down and
by 7.15pm we were able to set off to the start and before long get the race
under way. Unfortunately the rain that had been threatening all day chose
that moment to make its presence felt with a steady downpour which however
did little to dispel the high humidity.
Most of the waiting runners were huddled under a tree near the start line in
a vain attempt to keep dry, and some were understandably reluctant to
emerge! Add to that the sheer number of runners and the start lists
gradually turning to papier maché in the rain and the result was a handicap
start that was not as crisp and efficient as it might have been. Everyone
was sent on their way eventually but unfortunately two or three missed their
assigned starts. Apologies to them!
As already mentioned it was humid, warm and wet but most found the
conditions favourable for running. Bev Ali was first away. "In handicaps I
usually start first and finish last," she said. In 26 handicap races over
nearly 20 years of membership Bev had never placed, let alone won a cup. All
that changed today! Bev was the first starter and that was the last anyone
saw of her until she rounded the last corner in glorious isolation to finish
some four minutes clear of the rest. Congratulations Bev, patience is
rewarded!
Prelini Chiechi took the silver medal with a fine run and then Simon Burrell
charged in to third place. There was only the briefest of pauses then before
the deluge (runners, not rain). Mike White came in just ahead of Bruce
McLaren and Cindy Croucher and then nearly seventy runners poured across the
line in the space of four minutes. Well done, Mr Handicapper. Up to now
we've never found it necessary to use a finishing funnel for a handicap race
but if this number of runners becomes the norm then we'll have to consider
it.
Scratch man on the day was Ralph Street and he must have had an exhilarating
run through the crowds to finish 16th in the excellent time of 26.02. I'd
say something along the lines of "Streets ahead" but I'm sure Ralph has
heard every possible variant on that! Phil Killingley was well pleased with
his 27.24, which carried him up to 29th place, while third fastest was Ted
Mockett on 28.41 for 51st place. The fastest nine men beat the half-hour,
which was very encouraging. Fastest woman on 32.13 was Megan de Silva,
although that only got her up to 44th place in the handicap. Marie
Synnott-Wells's 34.01 brought her in 47th but third-fastest Becky Hall
climbed up to 13th place with her 34.41. Also inside 35 minutes was Suzy
Whatmough, with Gwen McCormack just a few seconds outside.
After the race the opportunity was taken to make the presentation of club
honours to Ralph Street for his third place in the Surrey Championships back
in January. A presentation was also made to Lorna Smith. Lorna won the Coad
Cup back in 2011 but the trophy itself had been accidentally damaged. It was
thought to be a write-off but a craftsman was eventually able to restore it.
This process took some time and meanwhile another Coad Cup race had been
run and the trophy went to the new winner. The upshot was that Lorna never
actually held the trophy - until today when she was presented with a
miniature replica to keep.
Those who started late in the handicap, please note that the actual times
shown are calculated as if you had started on your correct handicap mark.
TOUR OF EPSOM & EWELL Monday 8th - Friday 12th June
As usual the "tour" took in a race every night for five days in venues
including Horton Country Park, Nonsuch Park, Hogsmill and Nescot College.
Phil Aiken was the only Ranelagh competitor, finishing 95th, 102nd, 83rd,
85th and 69th in the five races, each of 3-4 miles. Overall winner was
Croydon's Alex Penfold who secured five straight wins in an aggregate time
of 1:33.24. Phil placed 57th overall in 2:29.43.
ALETSCH MOUNTAIN HALF MARATHON Sunday 28th June in the Swiss Alps.
Peter Fordham reports:
"Ranelagh 'A'(lpine) Team lead Britain home in Aletsch Race - start at 1,950
metres, climb 1,235 metres, descend 530 metres.
After a winter of Mob Match glory there is still no stopping Ranelagh Men.
The elite mountain squad of Alexander Fordham, Mike Peace and Peter Fordham
were the outstanding club trio from Britain. Stiff opposition was expected
from Blackheath and Bromley, but a demoralised club only mustered one
entrant and he then withdrew, presumably on hearing of the Ranelagh threat.
The Sheen Shufflers entrant was easily overcome in the first 5k."
1 M Petro (Eritrea) 1:26.36
Mike Peace 3:04.00
Alexander Fordham 3:05.50
Peter Fordham 3:14.40
KINGFIELD CANTER 2.85 miles handicap Wednesday 1st July

10 Sonia Rowland 28.29 (22.29)
11 Louise Piears 29.08 (23.38)
WIMBLEDON TRAIL SERIES RACE 3 8 miles Wednesday 1st July
...and it hadn't cooled down much by 7pm for the final race in the series
organised by Andy Bickerstaff and the Good Run Guide. Temperatures were
still well into the 30s and even the wooded areas seemed to hold the heat
rather than provide any respite. Perhaps not surprisingly, about a third of
the pre-entries thought better of it and stayed at home, and a dozen or so
more called it a day after one lap. All credit, then, to those who made it
round the 8 miles, especially to Megan de Silva who was the leading woman by
about a minute and a half. This completed a clean sweep of three wins for
Megan, a feat she only missed last year through running off course in the
final event. Congratulations too to Wiebke Kortum who was the leading over
45. Leading Ranelagh man was Al Morgan in 5th place.

places her in third place in Ranelagh's all-time list.

WYCOMBE HALF MARATHON Sunday 12th July
Mick Lane reports:
"Not sure how, but I managed 3rd V50 in the High Wycombe Half last Sunday in
an incredibly slow 1.31.13 for 33rd place. Nobody else from the club seems
to have run and I kept recalling what Clive Beauvais said about it when he
ran it years ago : 'The worst bloody race I've ever done!' To be fair, they
have changed the course slightly but it's definitely not one for the
connoisseur."
