Pub night and Hooded Tops

Just a reminder to everybody that next Tuesday (November 1^st) is Pub Night. Meet in the Running Hare from 8.30 onwards as usual.

Jane will have some sample of Buckley Runners hooded tops. Ideal for winter races! How smart will we all look in our warm, colour coordinated tops with “Buckley Runners” emblazoned across them? We will be taking orders “up front” so if you can bring your cheque book it will be great.

See you there

Border League at Prestatyn

A great day for us. 23 runners in total, first lady and first man home,. Seven runners finished in the top three of their age group. The Ladies were second just one point behind Deeside. The men had a good run, disappointingly only 4^th but there were some amazing performances by other teams.

The sun shone on us and it was an excellent day. Well done everybody and thanks.

Flintshire 10 Km Sunday 9th October

This year the race was organised by Nightingale House instead of Flintshire County Council. I was really pleased to see that it has got even better, with even more runners taking part. The change has gone a long way to put behind them the perverse way the event was staged in the early days and how money was spent on it. I hope that the races raised plenty of money for this most worthwhile charity and that they want to do it again next year.

The arrangements for the race were similar to previous years and the course was the same. The weather was a bit of challenge; the head-wind going up the hill out of Mold on the second lap was “interesting”. But it was the same for everybody and made for a good race although I think it slowed most people down a bit.

Buckley had a superb turn-out. I made it 9 men and 8 ladies. Results as follows

5^th Jez with 1^st MV35

12^th Erika with 1^st Lady

18^th Jon

22^nd Mike with 3^rd MV40

24^th Les with 1^st MV55

25^th Jeff with 1^st MV45

37^th Steve with 2^nd MV55

58^th Mike with 3^rd U17

115^th Margaret with 3^rd LV45

164^th Rob with 2^nd MV60

201^st Sue with 3^rd LV50

317^th Fiona

324^th Phil

365^th Ann

Both the men and the ladies got 2^nd team prize.

I know Ell and Alison were running too but I don’t have their positions (sorry). I think they both finished just under the hour. Anyone got their result?

Congratulations to everybody who ran and thanks for the support from many others.
