Summer Series after Pie & Peas
Despite the Pie & Peas race being in the start of the holiday season, we had the second highest turnout in this year with 27 runners. There appears to be real commitment to complete the minimum 6 races with the likely prospect of over 30 club members this year making the grade. 5 more runners have completed the minimum 6.
Jim Pendrill appears to have had a great race with a rare scalp of both Stuart Parrott and Rob Downs. This has jumped him to second place in the league. Mike Cooper also has had a good race closing the point gap with Ian Smallwood
In the ladies league only 1 point separates Jane & Kate but Sally and Katy are still contenders for the top spot.
Next race 21st August: Birchwood 10K.

Group 4/5 Summer Challenge (10)
The wonders of modern science enabled instant delivery of Nick’s report to the Andes. Paul’s second victory of the season and second and third place for Don and Sean mean it’s going to be very close as to who inherits Roy’s crown as individual 4/5 champion.
The Ladies; Sally, Tracy, Kate and Julie took three of the next four places, split only by Roy. It is good to see Susan back after injury and Stephen making a late venture into the Summer fray. This year’s being a struggle for Trevor but he continues to quietly pick-up the points.
I’ve been confident all season that the Men would eventually overhaul the Ladies, it is getting closer but time is running out.
Ladies – 201 points
Sally (15th= in the Series, 36 points), Nicky (36 points), Tracy (34), Kate (33), Julie (32), Penny (30), Susan (13), Angela (9). (Six to count)
Men – 180 points
Ian (38), Paul (37), Roy (31), Trevor (29), Bill (23), Peter (22), Don (17), Sean (14), Rod (12), Gareth (10), Stephen (8).
