I'm assuming all you party goers are now up and about. Seems I have inherited another club role - Lost Property Assistant.

So, who has mislaid the following:
Brown Leather Jacket by Phaze Eight
Dark Grey Jacket by Burton 
3 Pin Plug with a 1 metre lead and unusual end connection
A Garmin 305 Forerunner Box with a Hi Vis Vest, Loo roll, cakes and weekend washing and shaving kit
Last but not least a Running Shoe Trophy with the inscription - YTRRC 2014 Senior Male Yeovil Half Marathon

Give me a shout if you own any of these items.

Well Done Kimberley 

A massive well done to Kimberley for 12 Half Marathons this year. 

She posted before her last one:

"Hello lovely people! Guess what I will be doing Sunday? Half marathon number 12! Yayyy I've nearly done it!!! If you have a spare pound and would like to sponsor me (pretty please) here's the link...www.justgiving.com/Kimberly-Weston1/

 Thank you xx oh and don't let me drink too much Friday otherwise Sunday's race may end up more of a disaster than Argentan! Lol"

Now completed today she has posted:

Well that's that then. 12 half marathons in 11 months and £1,500 raised for the Yeovil Macmillan unit. To say I'm happy is an understatement. I've finished on a high....did it in about 2:32 ish which is about 20 minutes quicker than Argentan lol. I'm so pleased. Couldn't have done all 12 without the support of all of you (and obvs my lovely family) so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Joining YTRRC is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done. Xxx

The Races Continue

As the Awards and hats start again some did not waste time and hit the races.

Brent Knoll 10k

This in from Simon Rayner:

After what seemed like the worst ever week at work, some inspirational stories on Friday night (and some inspirational drinking...) today was the perfect finish to the weekend. A glorious race in a glorious location with some excellent company (what better way to spend a Sunday?)
Thanks to Nathan for convincing me to enter, Rob, Richard,Richard,Lesley,Helen,Jo and other Simon for making me feel welcome in the Green and White.
Big love must also go to the Friday night tracksters ,it really works - and next race I dont expect to see anyone hiding their "reaching for height" warmups away in the car park ;)

 

Medal Case

This in from Pete for those with a few medals or wanting to get some more.

The website can be found here. 

The email from the company:

Dear Sir/Madam,
As a runner myself and a parent of a regional club swimmer I have developed a product for displaying, storing and logging medals. As we are all aware the medals can soon mount up and in my daughters case they were piled into a shoe box!
With the ‘My Medals Case’ presentation folder competitors can proudly display up to 36 medals and their ribbons as well as log the details as a reminder of the date, venue and competition where the awards were earned.
I am hoping you would be able to assist us by networking this product to your club members in some way either via your website, noticeboard (see flyer attached) or by simple ‘word of mouth’. Please also pass on that we have a website www.mymedalscase.co.uk and Facebook page (FB search: My Medals Case Ltd).
Anyone joining our Facebook page and clicking ‘like’ will be automatically entered into a prize draw on the 1^st of December to receive one of two free My Medals Case display folders. (Normal RRP £18.99).
This is a very small venture and any help at club level would be greatly appreciated, plus they are easy to wrap for xmas!
Good luck to you and your club and we wish you every success with future training and competitions!!

Kind Regards,

My Medals Case Ltd

Cross Country

We had this email in from the Cross Country League organisers:

"Hello Pete

Thank you very much to you and your team today.

The event couldn't have been any better and the weather was perfect.

Please can you pass our thanks on to the rest of the team.

The venue is perfect, hopefully we can use it again next year.
