Membership Fees

Yes, folks!  It's getting to that time of year again.  October is the month for the renewal of membership which remains at £25 for the year.  The membership secretary should be issuing forms soon.

TESCOS

TESCO have a voucher offer-deal-campaign type thingy on at the moment.For details go to http://www.tescosport.com/

The bottom line is the more vouchers a club can collect the more equipment they can get FREE with them.

The club is collecting these vouchers to get equipment for the junior section.

If you have any vouchers please give them to Anne Hay who is collecting them.

Thirlestane.

Lauderdale Limpers are holding their "Thirlestane Castle Run" on the 9th October.

This is a 5 mile Multi Terrain race through "the majestic grounds of one of Scotland's oldest inhabited houses".

It's a great precursor to the cross country season.

Entry forms will be on the notice board soon.

However, if you are on "t'internet" (which you must be or you wouldn't be reading this) if you email Stuart at stu.hay@gmail.com he will forward one to you.

It's a really good course - but don't lean against the fences when you finish. They're electric!!

BRING IT ON

Stuart Hay is today recovering after the shock revelation that he was the fastest County Veteran at last Saturdays Haddington 5.

 

If he had known he had won something Stuart says he would have stayed for the prize giving, adding "I may even have taken my lucky acceptance speech out of its envelope where it has lay dormant these many, many long lonely years".

 

Responding to the fact that Ian Sills will be a veteran next year, and therefore a potential challenger, Stuart declared, "Bring it on. I'll take on anybody"!

"DROOCHET"

Four runners took to the rain lashed country roads on Saturday for the Haddington 5.

Ian Sills took 29:19 to swim around.
Stuart paddled in at 31:14
Frank splashed home in 33:55
And Anne dived over the line in 35:30

At least three of the runners hope that stupid aquatic metaphors will not be required for next Sunday's marathon.
