 REMINDERS
 We have been requested by the Dysart to remind everyone of a few safety
 rules:
 • Please don’t drive into the Dysart car park at any time.
 • When arriving or leaving on a bike please dismount and walk across the car
 park.
 • When starting or finishing runs, please walk rather than run across the
 car park.

 CLUB SUBSCRIPTIONS and ENGLAND ATHLETICS REGISTRATION...
 ...for 2018-19 are now due.
 The club membership fee includes the England Athletics registration and 
 despite another increase in the England Athletics registration fee to £15,
 we are keeping our subscription rates unchanged for another year. That's £40
 for seniors, £20 for second-claim members and those who are retired and
 over  60, £10 for under 20s and students and non-running members. There is
 also a  £70 family membership. Preferred method of payment is by Bank
 Transfer: our account is at HSBC, sort code 40-23-29, account number
 81109847; please add a message, for example SubscriptionJSmith. A Standing
 Order form is available from our website aachrisowens@yahoo.co.uk. 

 Once a member has paid her/his Club Subscription for the year, then the 
 Club pays to England Athletics the annual registration fee. When the Club
 first registers a member with England Athletics (EA), apart from paying the
 registration fee, the Club provides to EA the member’s title, name, date of
 birth, competitive status and address. 
 Please be aware that only EA Registered athletes may compete in competitions
 under UK Athletics Rules. The EA registration expires annually on 1 April
 each year and athletes are considered Unregistered by UK Athletics and hence
 ineligible to compete in UK Athletics sanctioned events if the registration
 fee remains unpaid after 30 June. So, please pay your Club subs promptly!

 DR. IAN MILNE
 We’re sorry to report that Ian Milne died on Friday 4th May at the age of 77
 following a massive stroke a week earlier.
 Bill Harvey writes:
 “Ian was from Whitley Bay, north of Newcastle, a geordie through and
 through.  He and I met at Birmingham University when we both ran as freshers
 in the cross-country second team. As northerners who enjoyed an argument and
 a pint, we hit it off immediately of course.  He was a keen runner and less
 prone to health problems then, eventually becoming XC captain.  After
 graduating with a PhD in Metallurgy in 1965, he had three years in the USA
 as a postdoctoral research scientist at Case Institute in Cleveland, Ohio.
 We met regularly after I went to New York a year later, running the Boston
 Marathon together twice.  He was active in the local road running scene over
 there. On his return to the UK he joined the CEGB, the national electricity
 generating authority,  rising to a significant level in management of this
 crucial part of our energy industry.
 After the Thatcher-Major privatisation of 1990, he joined National Power as
 Controller of Power Technologies, but moved on in 1992 to set up a private
 consultancy. He was a prominent member (over three decades) of several
 international bodies coordinating work in Europe on the structure and
 integrity of materials. The huge upheavals caused by the politics no doubt
 had a bearing on the timing of his retirement to Matlock in Derbyshire,
 where he scaled down his work although he continued as consultant for
 various businesses like Rolls-Royce.  

 Ian always said that he fell in love with the park and Ranelagh Harriers
 after taking part in an inter varsity race organised at  Petersham one
 Wednesday in the early 60s between Ranelagh, Birmingham, Oxford and others
 for which the Brum Fixtures Secretary John Walmsley, a familiar name to
 some members, was responsible -- John had competed in several Ranelagh
 School Races.  On Ian's return to the London area from the US in 1968, he
 joined Ranelagh because he liked the informal, unpretentious feel of the
 club.  He was instrumental in introducing me to Ranelagh when I arrived back
 in the UK in 1972, and later John Pratt also joined after a chance encounter
 at the National.  Ian and I both enjoyed the relaxed attitude to training
 and competition, the warm atmosphere of the Dysart Arms and the active,
 sometimes animated discussions on Wednesday evenings. 

 As a runner Ian was good enough to lead the Birmingham first team as a
 student but frustratingly was never able to fulfil his potential later
 because of chronic health problems, not properly diagnosed at the time, and
 very likely related to his stressful and demanding job. He was nevertheless
 a keen participant at club level and always in his element under the most
 challenging conditions.  I recall him winning the Clutton one year in over a
 foot of snow.  

 After his retirement to Derbyshire in 1998, Ian joined Matlock AC, helping
 out with the same sense of commitment and enthusiasm that he had devoted to
 Ranelagh over 30 years; he was made a life member.  He was always welcoming
 to his many old friends in the running fraternity; we shall all miss his
 particular strain of geordie humour.”

 Ian actually won the Clutton Cup twice, in 1982 and 1987. He served at
 various times as the club Hon Sec and the clubhouse manager and he provided
 technical services for the construction of our clubhouse. But probably his
 most memorable contribution to the club was in 1971 as prime instigator of
 our first adventure in the Pennines, where our team of 24 runners beat the
 existing record for the Pennine Way relay by over an hour. In 1975 Ian
 attempted the run solo, but unluckily had to pull out with sunstroke. Other
 relay attempts followed, before we transferred our attention to the South
 Downs Way and Offa’s Dyke. Ian’s contribution to the club was recognised by
 his appointment as Vice President.

 GREEN BELT RELAY  Saturday 19th May to Sunday 20th May  Hampton Court to Ham
 Roy Reeder writes:
 “Green Belt Relay - Helpers needed.
 It's less than a month to go to this year's GBR and it looks like it will be
 the best ever with three Ranelagh teams amongst a record field of 50 teams
 entered. If you want to be involved but haven't already signed up to run,
 don't worry you can as we are looking for volunteers! Currently we need
 someone to drive one of the first aiders round the course, ie a job for the
 whole weekend, through to if you can spare just an hour or two marshalling
 the first or last stages locally. Email me if you can help:
 mailto:royreeder@hotmail.com.”

 WHAT’S HAPPENED
 ***************
 RANELAGH RICHMOND HALF MARATHON  Sunday 6th May
 Entries were well down on previous years, probably owing to the growing
 number of Half Marathon races being organised in this area. Conversely the
 percentage of no-shows was down, so that our total finishers today numbered
 a respectable 517 against 661 last year. Some non-starters probably balked
 at the weather. The forecasters predicted high temperatures and they were
 not wrong. Conditions at the 8.30am start were comfortable but the mercury
 was soon rising and in the later stages the temperature reached 25 degrees
 or more. Not, then, a day for PBs. The leaders did not hold back, however,
 and it was last year’s winner Ollie Garrod who set the pace into Twickenham.
 But he was unable to escape the attentions of Belgrave’s Lithuanian Andrius
 Jaksevicius, who confusingly was sporting a Vegan Runners vest (Yes, there
 is such a club!).  The pair built up a sizeable gap to third place and as
 the runners approached the finish it was clear that Jaksevicius had the 
 edge over his opponent. He crossed the line 20 seconds ahead, with Woking’s
 Ben Goddard over a minute and a half further back in third.

 First Ranelagh finisher was Ted Mockett in 14th . He was followed by Seiko
 Angelo who had to settle for second place in his M50 category, beaten once
 again my his nemesis Mark Rabbetts of the Windmilers. Kris Davidson was our
 third man home, chased in by Ed Perry and James Riley who had their own
 little battle down the home straight. In 53rd overall was the leading woman
 Olivia Matthews of the Chasers who ran 85.21, comfortably ahead of South
 London’s Susan McDonald. In third place there was a Ranelagh vest, though
 few of the onlookers would have been able to put a name to the occupant.
 This was new member Holly McGuigan who made a most auspicious debut for the
 club, finishing third overall and taking the gold medal in the W35 category
 of the Surrey Championships. Hot on her tail and taking the W35 second prize
 (but not eligible for the county prizes) was another relative newcomer
 Adrienne Baddeley and defying the conditions both set big PBs. Their times
 of 88.03 and 88.17 place them 23rd and 24th respectively in Ranelagh’s
 all-time list. Holly and Adrienne were backed up by Fiona Ford to win the
 open race team prize. 

 The club Half Marathon championship was included in this race, so the JF
 Williams Trophy and the Chalkie White Rose Bowl will go to Ted Mockett and
 Holly McGuigan respectively.  

 Winning the men over 60 category by a country mile was David Wright, though
 on this occasion he wore the colours of his first-claim club Cirencester. He
 has retained his Surrey qualification so a county gold came his way too. 

 Many thanks go to Race Director Sandra Forrest whose attention to detail is
 unequalled. She and volunteers co-ordinator Trevor Maguire, would like to
 thank the dozens of willing helpers who ensured that the race went ahead
 smoothly and all the runners enjoyed themselves even in the tough
 conditions. Well done everybody! One satisfied customer e-mailed soon after
 the race: “Thank you Sandra for a lovely event and a super, well organised
 and marshalled course. Lots of smiles and encouragement all the way round,
 and I was never in any doubt about where I had to go. Congratulations and
 thank you”.

                                                         
 THE STRAGGLERS / RANELAGH JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES Race 1   Thursday 26th
 April at the Hawker Centre
 There was a sizeable field of 78 youngsters for the junior race, plus
 another 9 in the Minis event. The Flaming Penguins team swamped their
 opposition but Ranelagh fielded a respectable 15 runners. First home for us
 in second place overall was Tate Lawler but as a first timer he doesn’t
 count in the scoring. So our top scorer was Cian O’Brien – “first boy” in
 6th place overall. Another first-timer Osian Jones was next, followed by
 “third boy” Angus O’Brien. Close behind Angus was Francesca Baty-Symes whose
 8.49 time gave her the distinction of being the fastest girl. As usual the
 Rushby and Beal families were well represented. We wound up second in the
 team scoring, though well behind the Flaming Penguins.
