Presentation Night and Final results for 2011-12

Posted by Rob

We had a splendid evening in the Running Hare last Tuesday, nearly 30 of us turned up for food, beer and the annual presentation of awards. A cheerful and pleasant evening.

The highlight of the evening was Steve Bellis, resplendent in his white tracksuit with his Olympic torch. It was a delight to see so many people, especially young people, reacting to the torch. It brings the Olympics a bit closer. I hope it inspires some of the youngsters to go on and achieve their potential. Thank you Steve, and congratulations for your efforts on behalf of Barnados. I am sure that as a Buckley Runner you managed to keep a decent pace without getting tired!

Rob spoke briefly to thank the staff of the Running Hare for the evening and to congratulate all the club members on a splendid season and thank them for their efforts throughout the season.

The final award for the evening was the Buckley Runners Members award. 

There were nominations for a wide range of members including: -

Jane Lindley for consistent enthusiasm and support for other runners (several nominations)

Dave Boothroyd for supporting new members and doing some big races

Les Coathup for keeping everything together

Simon Robert for his performance across all the disciplines

Jez Brown for outstanding efforts

Sue Ridings (and Ellie) for looking after John

The awarded went to Matt Rose. there were many nominations for Matt for his outstanding effort and performance throughout the year. The results below show just what he has achieved. Add to that a series of PBs, representing North Wales and Wales, and winning the Border League companionship. Congratulations to Matt.
