NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB - 8th OCTOBER
Phil Killingley writes:
"With 11 mob wins in a row under our belts, we'd better hope the Blue Wave
has not got complacent over the summer hols. Thames Hare and Hounds are
coming to Richmond Park on 8th October in mid-rutting season for the first
mob of the year. Put on your antlers and join us! Fast and slow, young and
old, men and women, all are welcome. Please also remember (remember) to
stick 5th November in your diaries for the away Orion fixture in Epping
Forest. Our spy in their camp suggests this represents the biggest risk to
our unbeaten run. There will certainly be fireworks."
FISH and CHIP SUPPER
Following our mob match against Thames we will be hosting them to a fish
and chip supper in the clubhouse. All are welcome. 6.30pm start. Price £10
per head to include beer and wine. Book your place with Andy Hayward
a-hayward4@sky.com .
FIXTURE LIST
Our full winter fixture list is now available on our website here:. There are printed copies at
the clubhouse. Also at the clubhouse are copies of the latest Ranelagh
Harriers Gazette, covering the twelve months up to spring 2016. Please help
yourself to a copy. If anyone would like a fixture card and/or a Gazette
posted to them, please reply to this email giving your postal address.

contact our Chief Race Official Andy Bickerstaff
andy.bickerstaff@goodrunguide.co.uk .
RIVER THAMES HALF MARATHON Sunday 30th October
Roy Reeder writes:
"October is a very busy month for marshalling with home events in Richmond
Park almost every weekend. However, if anyone could spare some time to
marshal at an additional event, the River Thames Half Marathon on 30th
October, for which I'm Race Director, I'd be very grateful. Most of the help
is needed in and around the start at Walton Bridge but I also need
volunteers around Molesey. For each volunteer, I'm happy to donate £25 to
the charity of your choice or give you a free entry for next year. The race
has proved to be very popular: in 2014, the race generated £3500 for
charity, last year it generated £3700. This year, with a record number of
entries, it looks like we might even top £5000! To volunteer or for more
details email me at royreeder@hotmail.com. Thanks."
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 ROAD RELAYS Sunday 25th September at Bedford Autodrome
It was good to see Estelle Damant back in action in her first serious race
this year. She ran well on the opening stage to come home 21st in a time of
17.15 for the 4.5km lap. Charlie Hyde, Becky Curtis-Hall and Natalie Thomas
brought the team home in a very respectable 33rd place. Fastest Ranelagh
time though was from newcomer Nichola Jackson, who ran the opening stage for
an incomplete B team in an outstanding 16.21. Nichola's change of
first-claim was not approved in time for her to run in our A team.
With many popular road races also on this weekend we did not field a team in
the men's race, but Rob Curtis ran the opening 6km stage in 27.14 finishing
70th.
