Santa Dash - Christmas must be close

Good evening all, or good morning to those reading at work on Monday, hope you had a great weekend

Looking at the conversations the Santa Dash was a great success

A big thank you from James and Sally for all the organisation that was put in by everyone to help them out, They said 'what a fantastic santa run, how lucky we were with the weather, we hope everyone enjoyed it'

Ready to go...

Going Well with a Ho Ho Ho

Next race Inca Trail Race, check it out on our web site and pass the word we need to get the numbers up............

The Inca Trail is a fantastic race, I loved it last year and you will too. Nigel has set up a Facebook Page, become a follower. Lets DOUBLE the entries in 2013, the race deserves it. My entry will go in tomorrow!


The FB page is here

The race details and entry forms are on the web site click here

Today was also the final race of the Wessex League Cross Country at Canford Magna

Matt sent in the following...

Many thanks to ALL who have run the Wessex League Cross Country this year. Our Ladies team were successful winners overall, with an age category win for Jill and 3rd overall, age second for Aimee. Although Tim won the Senior Race, a fantastic performance, with Wimborne targeting the series YTRRC men just missed out and had to settle for second overall. Wimborne will fall next year, no doubt, the Green and Whites WILL be back!

Matt continued...'Lower down the field, unfortunately the day was spoiled for Nick and Lee when a youthful Matt out-sprinted them both. Matt will be enjoying this for some months to come...you have been warned.'

So good and sporting of Nick and Lee to give Matt a little bit of glory at the end of the year! I thought my sweeping duties, making sure all the Green and White were home safe were carried out to the highest standard. (I was last of the Yeovil Senior Men!!). I knew I went off too fast when I could still see Nick ahead after 300 yards!!

Lesley told Matt to enjoy the glory and sent a huge well done to everyone, and well done to you Lesley, part of the winning team.

Lee Holloway did reply with 'Enjoy the moment Mr.Driver, my road to recovery has commenced, revenge is a dish best served at approximately the 5 mile marker!!!

Rachel could not make it but sent a massive well done to the rest of the team

Jill said 'Good run from Matt, who had shown extreme XC etiquette in giving me the dry ground to run on earlier in the race, however Nick didn't do his 30m bike to the event warm up this time!'

Some of the Team

Go Chairman Go

He's behind you!

The Pub Run is from the Sonny's, (Royal Oak) Hardington Mandevale with Nigel


Couple of things from Tim

Monday 24th dec, Hill Training at Goldenstones using some of Ninesprings, midday. That gives everyone time to do last minute shopping before training!!!

Fri 28th Dec, Track, I will do a festive parluf relay, Christmas hats optional. This will be an ideal opportunity for some of our members to a have a taster session of the track without the worry of the word speed.


Anyone fancy a drive to Poole on Boxing Day there is a cracking little 10km in Poole Park, a bit of fun and a good atmosphere, maybe I will see a few of you there.. Round the Lakes
