A dull but dry day at Alton Towers for this premiere English XC event. The venue was spectacularly muddy, so much so that there had been injuries in earlier races and the courses for both senior events were changed and slightly shortened (though still 10k for the men). Wilmslow raced well…
Emma Stafford – a casting agency – are seeking male runners for a TV advert to be filmed in Macc area. If interested, the info is on the Cheshire AA site at this link. Some payment is involved – not clear how much! Andy

Not the most scenic of venues – but no worse than Wythenshawe Park. Awesome results – and the Holiday Inn was a good venue for the presentations – superbly organised by Nick. The Ladies team were all conquering: Division 1 1st seniors and vetsDivision 2 1st and 2nd seniors and…
There will be a Sunday club run in Lyme Park (starting at the car park opposite the Boar's Head, 2 Shrigley Rd N, Poynton, SK12 1TE). This Sunday (13th Feb) 9am (not next Sunday as stated in the Club Calendar). A group will probably also go from the Rugby Club…
As an alternative to Alsager, 5 of us opted for this jaunt to the home of film director Danny Boyle ( Slum Dog Millionaire, 127hrs) Used to be 12 miles now shortened to 10 along a disused railway line – muddy ++ and undulating loops round a couple of parks…
Sunday February 6th. Alsager attracts a quality field, I seem to remember Mike Halman finishing 44th. Nevertheless it has never been that popular with Wilmslow runners; those who are not training for London have their eyes on the Wilmslow Half and a five-mile Sunday does not fit the schedule. We…
I have, at present, two training days planned, probably in April and September and also some more local ones. Last year's went well, the Snowdon day causing the most interest. All who completed the day responded brilliantly to what, I know, was, for some, a severe challenge. Again this year…

Ladies took the first three places in January. Nicky Mowat “Turns up for everything and generally wins it; Cheshire Cross Country, 4 Villages……….” and that included 1st.L50 in a quality field at Helsby, but, at the last gasp, she had to settle for second place. Sharon Jones was third; a PB…
