Yvette Baker Trophy

A reminder to any SROC juniors that the Yvette Baker Trophy qualifying round is at Torver on Sunday. Sarah Watkins requests that you let her know if you are taking part so that she can make sure everybody has a start slot allocated. Anyone is welcome - some of our juniors at an England selection race - so SROC needs your help!

OMM

There were a number of SROC members that took part in the well publicised OMM event at the weekend. Jo Hamilton-Taylor has found an article that strikes a balance compared to the sensationalist reporting from the mainstream media. There is also a thread on the message board where you can share your 'experience' with everybody.

A message from the Chairman

I would like to say a big thank you for coming and supporting the club, and putting in a highly creditable performance. Coming 7th is very good indeed, and perhaps it's a bit like the Olympics - the first time it's all new and strange, and you don't do your best performance - next time. . . ! The main thing is that we all enjoyed ourselves, see the photos in the Gallery. Let's hear your experiences on the message board - triumphs and disasters. And what were the funniest moments?

This day only went off so successfully because of the effort put in by some club members - notably Sarah Watkins our Club Captain and Steve Wilson - stats analyst extraordinaire! So a very big thank you to them.

A Grand Day Out

A coach load of South Ribble runners had a grand outing to Sutton Park today (19th October). The occasion was the Compass Sport Cup Final, hosted by OD. Many enjoyed their runs, but a few had nightmares of varying degrees. When the points were counted we had finished 7th, not bad for the first time at the final! Full results are available here.
