CLUB SUBSCRIPTIONS and ENGLAND ATHLETICS REGISTRATION...
...for 2018-19 are now overdue.
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 here:.
Alternatively post a cheque to Membership Secretary, Ranelagh Harriers,
135a Petersham Road, Richmond, Surrey TW10 7AA or leave it in an envelope
at the clubhouse. For any queries, e-mail the Membership Secretary
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

These are Andy Bickerstaff’s annual promotions on Wimbledon Common. I can
think of many less pleasant ways of spending a summer Wednesday evening.
Andy writes:
“It’s back for the 5th year and yet another iconic mug featuring a part of
the course is to be had. It would be nice to see a few more of my team mates
from Ranelagh giving it a go this year for five fun filled and challenging
Wednesday night miles! Remaining dates are 6th June and 4th July. Enter the

25th THAMES HARE & HOUNDS PARKLAND RELAYS
Wednesday 13th June 2018 at 7pm in Richmond Park
Peter Fordham writes:
“I am again organising the men's entries for the annual Parkland Relays in
Richmond Park. This is one of the best summer events in the area, where 100
teams from the major clubs in the area compete in a four leg relay of about
2.9 miles. It starts at Spankers Hill Wood and near to Pen Ponds car park.
Last year we put up four teams, with our 'A' team coming a creditable 8th
overall, The Vets 'A' team placed 16th, the 'B' Team 28th and the Vets 'B'
33rd overall. Let's see if we can beat the turnout and positions this year.
As demand from clubs is high, please let me know as soon as possible if you
can run, so that I can secure team entries. If the 7pm start puts you under
too much pressure, it is possible to run one of the later legs. I’m happy to
handle entries for the ladies race too if there is any interest.
Prizes will be awarded after the race from about 9pm at the TH&H clubhouse.
Food and refreshments will be available. If you’re interested please contact
me at peter_fordham@yahoo.com.”
LONDON DUATHLON Sunday 16th September in Richmond Park
Rick Jenner writes:
“The London Duathlon is held on closed roads in Richmond Park every autumn.
This year it is on Sunday 16th September and incorporates a new Club
Championships to find out who is the best sports club in London and beyond.
Lots of Ranelagh people have taken part before and are again this year, so
it would be great to put in a team. If you’re interested there are more details
here: and you can enter
here: and receive £10 off with
the code CB_RANELAGHHARRIERS. Please note this is the day after the Surrey
Road Relays so anyone targeting that may want to steer clear, and I must
declare my interest as the event is put on by my company.”

WHAT’S HAPPENED

RANELAGH RICHMOND HALF MARATHON Sunday 6th May
Surrey county championship medals not specifically reported in the last
e-news include W35 gold for Holly McGuigan, women’s team bronze for Holly,
Fiona Ford and Michelle Beaumont and M50 silver for Seiko Angelo.
SUTTON 10km Sunday 20th May
Ranelagh numbers were down for the second race in the Surrey Road League,
owing to the clash with the Green Belt Relay. We were represented by just
ten men and three women and inevitably we finished well down the field for
league points – 7th for the men and 16th for the women. Fortunately the
League allows for a club’s two worst results to be dropped so there should
be little damage to our prospects for the season.
There were some good individual performances, notably from our first
finisher Seiko Angelo whose 36.12 placed him second overall in the over 50
category. Neil Rae and Martin Halvey also defied the hot conditions to duck
inside 40 minutes, while our leading woman was Carol Aikin.
1 Andrius Jaksevicius (Bel) 32.20 (chip time 32.19)
18 Seiko Angelo (Ranelagh) 36.12 (36.11)

GREEN BELT RELAY Saturday 19th May / Sunday 20th May
Ranelagh team co-ordinator Ashleigh Ferris reports:
“On the weekend of May 19th and 20th, 33 of Ranelagh's finest gathered at
Hampton Court Palace for the 22nd Green Belt Relay. Hosted by Stragglers the
event attracted 50 teams this year - which, at five more than last year, is
the most teams they’ve ever had. For those not familiar with the race the
Green Belt Relay is a 22 stage, 220 mile relay which circumnavigates the M25
and is run in teams of 11 with an overnight break in Essex. While this might
conjure up images of miserable motorway running it is exactly the opposite -
the route takes in some of the most beautiful landscapes and pretty towns in
the area from Hampton Court to St Albans through Epping Forest and back by
Box Hill finishing at the Hawker Centre.
This year we fielded three Ranelagh teams - Women’s, Men’s and a Mixed Team.
With 22 stages, 2 minibuses and 2 cars, 33 people, 6 marshal posts and food
and accommodation this is a full on weekend with runners averaging 20 miles
of running, but it is a really fun weekend and its appeal to runners of
mixed pace adds to its charm. It was particularly great to welcome several
new participants this year.
Serpentine won overall, and won the first Men's Team and Women’s Team prize.
Thames H&H won the Mixed Team prize. Ranelagh Men put in an excellent
performance and were 2nd Men's team for the first time in many years! They
placed 4th overall, with the Women's team coming 38th and the Mixed team
placing 42nd - a great result with fantastic runs from all. We had some
stage wins over the weekend, with Becky Curtis-Hall, Ted Mockett and Nick
Impey all taking home the sought-after yellow 'Stage Win' t-shirts. Becky
and Marie Synnott-Wells also broke stage records for their categories!
The weekend itself was great fun. The buses were full of team spirit and,
this year, a substantial amount of beer and wine too! The warm weather,
whilst a bit trickier for running, was lovely for spectating. Everyone
brings something to share for the buses so our running calories were
replaced with various homemade flapjacks, some delicious brownies and a very
tasty ginger cake! On Saturday night we had a fantastic dinner in a pub near
Stansted, before staying over in a local hotel. Despite the early start and
tired legs on Sunday morning the morale was still high and we had some great
performances on all the legs before the finishers’ barbecue at the Hawker
Centre.
Special thanks to Ellen Van Keulen, who didn't run over the weekend but was
an absolute star driving around and helping on all the marshalling points.
Ted and Mark were also extremely helpful with transport, getting everyone's
license details, and the picking up and dropping off of the buses. We had
eight minibus drivers this year which really helped the weekend run
smoothly. Leeanne Bryce and Karima Graham both gave up their Saturday
mornings to marshal at Chertsey Bridge despite not taking part in the run -
which was greatly appreciated. Thank you very much to everyone who helped
out.
We are already looking forward to next year and if anybody is interested or
wants to know more about the event please contact us by
emailing mailto:ranelaghgbr@gmail.com. The race attracts some really strong
teams and we will definitely be fielding another three teams next year!”

EUROPEAN MASTERS NON-STADIA CHAMPIONSHIPS Friday 18th May – Sunday 20th May
at Alicante
Alan Davidson reports:
“Embarrassing but despite being almost a one-legged runner now I thought no
use to the team and wished to have probably my last GB&NI Vets outing at a
Euro non-stadia event to savour the atmosphere again and also visit
somewhere new to me. The Costas have a reputation for being ugly tall blocks
but I found Alicante quite pleasant with tree-lined promenade walks, a
marina for Abramovich-type yachts and spectacular views over the Med and
inland to the Sierras from the castle perched high up on a rock at the edge
of town. Signposting to the TIC (registration centre) and to the 10k and
cross-country relay course was non-existent and the tram stop they gave to
the venues was not even the nearest one! 24C made pleasant running
conditions and my aim had to be to just get round the flat 10k course (2
laps of mainly uninteresting territory). I really appreciated the terrific
(surprising) support I got from Swiss people at the roadside and though it
sounds awful I was happy(!) with 58.20 (17th M70 out of 24). I was in the
M70 B team in the cross-country relays running leg 2 (it was teams of 3) on
the 2k course of mainly stony trails in a pleasant park. Our B team came 3rd
but as it should be only one team for each country can win a medal and our A
team came 1st. It was good to catch up with some old friends, see somewhere
new and enjoy the atmosphere of these great events.”
STRAGGLERS / RANELAGH JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES Race 2 Thursday 24th May in
Richmond Park
We were the hosts for the second of the six-race series. See above for
details of the remaining races. The Flaming Penguins team fairly swamped the
competition this time and have built up a well-nigh unassailable lead
already. Nevertheless, the thirteen Ranelagh runners fared well. In
Alexandra Bramwell and Mia Lambakis we provided first and third over the
finishing line, though as first-timers they didn’t contribute to the team
score. Tom Armstrong came in down the field in 33rd place but his 6.44
clocking was the fastest of the day by an impressive three-quarters of a
minute. We finished third team on the day but remain in second place
overall.

Phil Killingley writes:
“A stonkingly hot day to run a 10km. Our men’s team was made up of Nick
Impey in the late 33s (good enough to get inside the top 200!), Peter Haarer
in the late 34s, but impressively 4th in the M50 age category and Marc
Leyshon not far behind him. Captain James Whistler was next with 35:33,
with Ed Perry and Vaughan Ramsay following on in. Nice also to see Richard
Holme back in the fray :)”
Ranelagh women outnumbered the men on this occasion, led by Abi Weeds who
ran an impressive 40.08 in her first race for a long time. Fanny Vein and
Suzy Whatmough made up the threesome for the team race. Abi finished 10th in
her W40-44 category, as did Marie Synnott-Wells in the W50-54s.
The official results give 5k split times, and It is noticeable that many
runners appear to have run negative splits. The likelihood is in such a big
field that time was taken to cross the line, rather than we’re all suddenly
masters of pace judgement!
