Buckley Runners Annual Awards

I am delighted to report a thoroughly enjoyable evening in The Running Hare last night for the Annual Presentation of Awards, attended by about thirty of us.

 

Thank you all for attending and making it such a good event. Thanks must go to the staff at the Running Hare who make us very welcome every time.

 

It was particular pleasing to see Paul Stinton there, released from his fatherly duties for a while. Congratulations to Paul and Sarah (and of course to Erin Lily)

 

A special mention to the recipient of the Annual Members Award. By an overwhelming majority the members nominated Rup Lindley for all the work he has done for the Borders League and the club in helping at all the races. A very well deserved acknowledgement of a big contribution to the club. Thank you  Rup.

 

Although Rup’s nominations made him a clear winner, there was a wide spread of other nominations including Dave Boothroyd for completing the Lakeland Ultra Run, Jane for support for club members especially the newer ones, Jane and Rup for their combined efforts, Margaret Ludden for her outstanding performances (N. Wales Champion at 10 miles!) and for John Morris for his running (targeting 70 races this year before his 70th birthday) and his work on the championship. 

 

Also a big thank you to John Morris for work on the club championship, and his masterpiece of timing. John had run a fell race at Penmaenmawr in the evening and arrived back with the results of the championship at the exact moment they were required. John distributed the races for next year’s championship. I will mail them and post them on the blog as soon as I can.

 

And congratulations to all the trophy winners and everyone who has contributed to the club during the year.

 

I have posted all the results below. If you look closely there are some slight changes to the men’s BL results. I was made aware of the a problem last night and have discovered two errors in the calculations for third race. As a result Chris Higgins moves up to 9th  My apologies for the error and misinformation.

 

Thanks everybody

 

See you at the races soon! And don’t for get to find us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (@buckleyrunners)
