CHRISTMAS PARTY Saturday 5th December at 7pm
It's a new venue this year for our Christmas Party on December 5th: the Lass
O'Richmond Hill at the top of Queen's Road. Book your places now! 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 now. E-mail Michele
Gibson micheleagibson@hotmail.com or add your name to the list in
the clubhouse, where you will also find a menu. Michele adds:
"I need to receive payment by Tuesday 17th November! For anyone who has not
paid by then, I will assume that they are not coming, and I will take their
names off the list."
NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB - SATURDAY 28th NOVEMBER ON WIMBLEDON COMMON (KINGSTON
VALE)
Phil Killingley writes:
"The blue wave rolls on and on and Thames is the next club in line to be
washed down the river. If we pull this off it'll be nine in a row. Two years
ago it was at this fixture on Wimbledon Common that we lodged the first win
in that series, by a tiny margin. Last year they ran a six month mob
recruitment operation in a bid to win in Richmond Park, thwarted by our
sheer numbers.
Come and join the Blue and Amber runners for another classic battle on the
wrong side of the A3 - 2.30pm from the football pitches near Asda. It's a
fun course with a fair amount of flat dry running interspersed with some
muddy undulating bits including the Rifle Butts (don't expect your shoes to
come out clean) over the regulation mob distance of 7.5 miles. As always,
all speeds and all ages welcome. Hobble Gobble!"
VIRGIN LONDON MARATHON BALLOT
London Marathon organisers have substantially reduced the number of
guaranteed places on offer to clubs - citing the increase in "good for your
age" qualifiers, most of whom are club athletes. Our allocation has
accordingly been reduced to just two. If you have been rejected in the
public ballot and meet the club's qualifying criteria of having run in two
mob matches during the past twelve months (or run one and marshalled club
events twice), please contact our Hon Sec Wyn Williams
wynfordwilliams@icloud.com before the Christmas Party on 5th
December.
FUNDRAISING FOR PETER WRIGHT - RAFFLE TO BE HELD AT THE CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY
Peter has an inoperable brain tumour and is seeking urgent funding for
treatment to prolong his life. His family are also hoping to raise awareness
of the condition and contribute to charity.
As previously mentioned, Anna Reichwald is organising a raffle for Peter at
the Christmas party on December 5th. Anna writes: "Some people have already
kindly offered to donate raffle prizes and I can be contacted on anna.reichwald@blueyonder.co.uk if you need the prize to be picked up or
please bring it to a Tuesday evening training session. The businesses that
have been contacted already for possible donations (although I have not
heard back from all of them yet) are:
Sporting Feet Richmond - who have kindly offered to donate a £50 voucher
Sweaty Betty Richmond
Lululemon Richmond
Sweatshop Teddington
Runners Need Kingston
If anyone has any direct contacts or connections with these companies or can
suggest any other businesses/ shops who may be able to donate a raffle prize
then please let Anna know on anna.reichwald@blueyonder.co.uk."

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
2XU SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUE DIVISION 1 and LADIES LEAGUE DIVISION 1
Saturday 7th November at West End Common (women) and Wimbledon Common (men)
As usual, the women were in action first on League day. Conditions at West
End Common in Esher were showery but very mild for November - some contrast
to our last visit here when there was ice and snow! Once again there was a
huge field contesting the two divisions, and despite a preliminary short lap
there was a tremendous bottleneck as the runners queued to negotiate a
narrow plank bridge into the woods. There were other narrow parts too, but
the main problem for the leaders was to successfully pathfinder the route
through the woods. SLH's Steph McCall, who had narrowly beaten our own Gill
Sanders in the first League race, did not have Gill to contend with this
time and seemed to be cruising to a comfortable win...until she missed a
turning. Her pursuers almost made the same mistake but spotted a flag just
in time. Steph was out of sight so it was some time before she realised her
mistake. Backtracking desperately, she lost well over a minute before
rejoining the correct route.
Overall winner, then, was Division 2 runner Phoebe Law of Kingston and Poly.
Lucie Custance of Clapham was second across the line and Steph McCall was
fourth but these were the 1-2 in Division 1. Megan de Silva led the Ranelagh
team with another excellent top ten run. Julia Bailey had been carrying a
slight injury since the last League race and so was not quite breathing down
Megan's neck this time but finished a fine 23rd - and had Becky Hall almost
breathing down her neck instead! Becky just made it into the top thirty, a
good ten places higher than in the first League race. The five making up our
'A' team was made up by Gwen McCormack 59th and Suzy Whatmough 64th - also
both improving on their positions last time. We finished 7th on the day and
slipped a couple of places to 7th overall. But it's all very close - we are
no more than 12 points behind the fourth-placed club.
And the story doesn't end there. We had an outstanding 18 runners
altogether, including several League novices - more than one of whom was
talking about investing in some spikes before the next race! Our 'B' team -
Wiebke Kortum, Anna Scally, Becky Northmore, Elisa Ferrua and Lara Werrett -
closed in 9th 'B' team. 'C' teams are no longer officially counted in the
results but our next quintet - Karen Weir, Natalie Thomas, Hannah Doyle,
Ashleigh Ferris and Amy Sillitoe - would I am sure have been well placed.
Finally we had 60% of a 'D' team in Deepa Sharma, Ellie Lawley and Louise
Wapshott.
According to the Athletics Weekly report, the League is expected to think
again about their insistence on keeping both Leagues within a single race.
Next season might see the two Divisions at separate venues or in two races
at the same venue.
Phil Killingley reports on the men's race:
"As the rain lashed down on the morning of Surrey League fixture 2,
Ranelagh's runners were optimistic they could overhaul Clapham Chasers and
climb to 7th place, out of the two relegation spots. We started the fixture
4 points behind Belgrave and 45 points behind Clapham, the two clubs in
touching distance. These margins are tiny in Surrey League terms, and with
a far stronger team on paper we looked ready to sail clear.
The course was a splashy, mainly flat 2-lap romp round the top of Wimbledon
Common with a single descent and rise providing scant compensation for those
that call themselves real cross-country runners (Eirin McDaid was seen
crying into his lemonade in the Fox and Grapes after the race). After
Archie St Aubyn's fast start last time, it was fellow Optima Tri-club member
Oli Murphy's turn to start at the pace of a bike rather than a runner. He
still lodged a gritty second lap run, to finish 8th in the team, with Archie
hanging on for 7th. Jackson Creegan declined the offer of a warm-up jog and
proceeded to score first for Ranelagh, albeit slightly further down than in
fixture 1. Eirin, Richard Gregory (great to see him back) and Captain Phil
ran completely separate races only to finish 2 seconds apart in positions
37-39, proving there's more than one way to skin a cat (another 50m and I'd
have had them both!). Performance of the day was arguably George Howard's
(81.3% and a record for him), finishing 5th scorer only half a minute
further back, and he was closely followed by Carl Selya-Hammer in another
good display (79.2% - best ever x-c for Ranelagh). Steve Whitehead was 9th
and Rick Jenner astonished himself by closing the scoring positions. Rick
subsequently changed his Facebook profile picture to the Anchorman Trophy -
classy! Commiserations to Marc Snaith who wasn't far behind in 11th, and
even more so to Peter Haarer who left home at 12.30pm and due to traffic
pulled up in his car just as the race started. Excellent performances also
from Dave Lawley (73.5%), Lars Lundqvist (72.2%) and Bruce McLaren (73.5%)
for setting x-country record percentages, and a superb turnout from the team
in general on a soggy if warm afternoon.
So did we do it? Well we were 7th in the match, but near rivals Clapham and
Belgrave were 18 and 31 points ahead respectively. Surprise 8th place was
for Thames, usually a top three team. Guildford and Godalming look
thoroughly relegated already. The gap to Clapham and Belgrave is now
slightly larger I'm afraid - 63 and 35 points respectively. But on the plus
side, I feel our potential is better than either of those teams, and if we
can get a strong team out in races 3 and 4, we will survive. We just need a
bit of luck to go our way! Thanks again to Sonia and Steve, Andy Bicks,
Alan, Chris Owens, Jim Forrest, sickly Ian Kenton and Marcus Atkins for your
superlative support on the course, and Ken for the results and stats yet
again."
This was something of a red-letter day for Hercules Wimbledon who claimed
their first Surrey League Division 1 victory since 1978.
In the junior events we were represented on this occasion only by the Atkins
family, who both ran strongly: Izzy 12th overall and 11th Under 15 after a
fast start; and Greg 25th overall and 14th Under 17.
HAROLD LEE CUP MOB MATCH v ORION HARRIERS Saturday 24th October 7.67 miles
in Richmond Park
Here's the result of the club veterans championship and sealed handicap
which was incorporated with the mob match. Peter Haarer won the Spendlove
Cup as the leading vet overall. Trevor Maguire took the McDowell Cup for the
leading over 50 and Chris Owens won the Maslin Mug for the top over 60. The
sealed handicap was a clear victory for Bert Grieco ahead of Chris Read and
Peter Fordham.

CRISSY FIELD parkrun 5km Saturday 31st October
Lloyd Camp reports:
"I ran the Crissy Field San Francisco parkrun (one of only four in the USA)
on the 31st October, Halloween Day. It was a small field of only 34 runners
(parkrun has yet to take hold in the USA as it has in many other countries,
but when it does, watch out!), and most of them were Brits from Bristol. But
what makes the SF parkrun interesting is that because of the time
differences around the world it is the last event anywhere on the planet to
be held each Saturday so the final runner is the last parkrun finisher in
the world that day. It was characterised by runners in Halloween costumes
and we all had startlingly garish cupcakes afterwards. Well worth the effort
if anyone is in that part of the world."

From Athletics International:
"One Kenyan who definitely will not be bidding for an Olympic berth is
Julius Njogu (28), who cheated his way into second place in the Nairobi
International Marathon on October 25. Officials discovered that he had run
little more than one kilometre, joining the leading runners just outside the
stadium. Instead of claiming prize money of about $7000 he was arrested and
charged with fraud."
