NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB
Our first mob match of the season will be at home to Orion Harriers on
Saturday 24th October. Orion, above all the other mob match clubs, will be
out to avenge our defeat of them last year. We can expect large numbers of
Orion men and women to make the trip over from their Epping Forest home,
and we'll have to meet them with equally large numbers to stand a chance. If
we can outnumber them, so much the better. The more of us there are, the
better our chances. We need absolutely everyone to turn out if you possibly
can.
MOB MATCH COMMEMORATIVE T-SHIRTS
Many of the pre-ordered t-shirts were collected and paid for at the Thomas
Cup or Page Cup races, but if you haven't picked yours up yet please try to
catch Michele Gibson or Andy Hayward at the clubhouse. Please pay on receipt
or send a cheque for £20 payable to Ranelagh Harriers to 79 Thames Side,
Staines, TW18 2HF. Unclaimed t-shirts will shortly be sold off.
SURREY LEAGUES
Our men's and women's teams both start their Surrey League Division 1
campaigns on Saturday 10th October. The men are on Wimbledon Common, though
the start and finish is in a relatively rarely-visited part of the common at
Caesar's Well close to the end of Sunset Road (SW19 4UL). Car parking close
to the start is limited. Juniors run first at 2.30pm (4km), followed by
seniors at 3pm (8km). Everyone is welcome to run, register with our team
manager on the day. Note that there is a Division 2 race taking place at
1.30pm. Course map:.
The women are at Roundshaw Common, Wallington, organised by Collingwood AC.
Their HQ is at Croygas Sports and Social Club, Mollison Drive, Wallington
SM6 9BY - approximately 2 minutes walk from the start. There is no parking
at Croygas, but plenty is available in local side roads. Senior women start
at 12 noon (6km), under 17s and under 15s run at 1pm (4km) and under 13s are
at 1.30pm (3km). All are welcome, register on the day. Details:.
SURREY VETERANS CHAMPIONSHIPS - ENTRY DEADLINE NEXT WEEK
We are once again hosting the Surrey Veterans (aka Masters) championships in
the Park on Saturday 17th October. This is open to all Surrey qualified over

LONDON MARATHON
For the ninth successive year the London Marathon has set a new world record
for an annual single day charity fundraising event. Runners in the 2015
event raised £54.1 million for charity, the total since the race was founded
in 1981 now standing at more than £770 million. A record number of 247,069
(42% of them women) applied for the 2016 race on April 24.
FUNDING FOR JUNIOR HANDICAP
Roy Reeder writes:
"The Stragglers host a junior handicap each month in the summer which is
enjoyed by 60-80 children, a large number of whom are members of Ranelagh
Harriers. Stragglers have applied to the Skipton Building Society for a £500
Grassroots Giving grant. They've made it through the first stage and it's
now down to a public vote!
To vote, all you need to do is click here:
and enter your email address at the bottom of the page. It takes less than
one minute, so please vote now! Thanks."
CHRISTMAS PARTY
All right, I know Christmas is a long way away still, but it will as usual
be upon us before we know where we are. So our Social Secretaries Michele
and Andy have already reserved the venue for our Christmas Party and are
taking bookings. We're trying a new venue this year, the Lass O'Richmond
Hill at the top of Queen's Road. It's less expensive than our previous
venue - the cost is £40 to include a three-course dinner, wine, a disc
jockey and dancing. There is a limit of 80 people, so get your booking in
early. E-mail Michele Gibson micheleagibson@hotmail.com or add
your name to the list in the clubhouse, where you will also find a menu.
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:.

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
SOUTH OF ENGLAND AA ROAD RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th
September at Rushmoor Arena, Aldershot.
The site of the former Army display ground at Rushmoor has been the venue
for the SEAA Road Relays for many years and also hosted the Fleet Half
Marathon for a while. In many ways, it is a perfect venue - easily
accessible from the motorway network, plenty of parking and a good testing
traffic-free course which allows active spectators to see the runners
several times per lap. Sadly, since the venue has been more or less
abandoned by the Army it crumbles away a little more each year. I'm told
that the Aldershot club often puts together a work party on the Friday prior
to the races in order to effect emergency repairs to the worst potholes, but
by the next year the holes are back again. With so much history attached to
this course it would be a shame to move the race to another venue - if
indeed one can be found - but I wonder how long it will remain tenable.
The senior women's event and all the junior races take place on Saturday
with the veteran and senior men following on Sunday. We started two senior
women's teams but on the men's side we entered only the M50 race this year.
The first surprise in the women's race was that the leader rounding the
first corner was a young man. The vest he was wearing was that of the City
of Norwich club. I don't know the back story to this, but my original guess
was that one of the Norwich junior teams missed their race and were given
special dispensation to run with the women. Fortunately the lad in question
didn't stay ahead too long -his team might have affected the unfolding of
the women's race.
The second surprise, after Master Norwich had fallen back, was that no
Aldershot team could be seen in the sizeable leading group. After nine
straight wins in this championship, and with a B team more often than not
well placed too, you could not have got good odds against them making it ten
in a row. But as it turned out, minus any of their real star names, they
never got into contention for the win, though they did fight their way up to
third place on the podium. It was the largely unheralded Cambridge and
Coleridge team who held on to secure their first win in this event.
Becky Hall took on the tough opening stage for Ranelagh and ran well to
finish just inside the top half of the 78 teams who set out. Julia Bailey
then took the metaphorical baton and set a time just a couple of seconds
faster than Becky, gaining four places in the process. Michelle Davies ran
strongly on stage three and though losing a couple of places she set up
Megan de Silva nicely for a storming anchor leg. Megan's 14.22 gained ten
places for the team and brought us home 26th. That time places her 11th on
Ranelagh's all-time ranking list for this circuit (see seaa_best for the full list).
Our B team of Lara Werrett, Karen Weir, Victoria Elbourne and Ellen Clague
stayed in much the same position throughout the race and finished in 62nd
place, promoted to 61st after the disqualification of the City of Norwich B
team ahead of them. The plot thickens...was this in fact the boys team
running under their female team-mates' names? Did they think no-one would
notice?
On Sunday the weather was still dry but a little cooler than on the
Saturday. All the vets teams ran together, but amongst the M50s Richard
Holme completed the first leg in a solid 12th place. Trevor Maguire gained a
couple and then Paul Sinton-Hewitt took us into the top ten. Finally, an
eye-opening anchor leg from Colin Brett swept us into an excellent sixth
place.
PAGE CUP 5 miles handicap Saturday 26th September in Richmond Park
There was a surprisingly small field for the Page Cup this year, only 30
runners toeing the line. It was a fine day, most un-cross-country-like, and
perhaps that encouraged people to make alternative plans for what remains of
our Indian summer. That, and the traffic chaos expected in Twickenham for
Saturday evening's England v Wales rugby world cup match! A small field
increases your chances of winning, of course, and though there was no
outstanding favourite, the marshals out on the course could clearly see that
one or two in particular fancied their chances.
Corinne Bishop had been first away and she held on to the lead for quite
some time. Indeed, she was still ahead when she reached Sidmouth Wood on the
way home, but that's a long drag from there to the finish. Philippa Kitchen
was one of those who were really going for it and she swept past Corinne
with half a mile still to run. Anna Reichwald was next in line but she was
overhauled first by Andy Bickerstaff and then by Mark Herbert. Andy and Mark
had Philippa in their sights but she was too far away to be caught. This was
Philippa's first handicap win, though the Page Cup has previously resided in
the Kitchen household - hubby Rob won it in 2012.
In typical all-action style Mark passed Andy on the run-in to take the
silver medal, leaving Andy with the bronze. Mark's time of 31.03 was
officially the second fastest of the day behind Nick Twomey's 29.15.
However, it's possible that Nick, who missed his official start time by 5
minutes, may have inadvertently run off course. Third fastest was Bruce
McLaren on 33.06. Fastest woman was Wiebke Kortum who recorded a course
personal best of 35.14. Second and third were Karen Weir on 37.44 and Verka
Lafeuille on 40.34.

MIDDLESEX YOUNG ATHLETES RELAYS Sunday 13th September at Hayes
The under 11 girls event was held as a straight race rather than a relay.
Lydia Louw - fresh from an impressive track 1500 metres clocking of 5:23.5
