News from the Striders
28th March 2005
Not a bad Easter weekend weather wise. And also the clocks have gone forward.
Maybe not good for cash machines, but lighter evenings for us runners. Hope this
is giving everyone that little extra push to get out on the roads. I even made
it three days over the weekend!

the Home page banner.
Also check out the race calendar. A few extra races have been added here.

Road Relays yesterday. No news of
results yet. Also awaiting full results from the Brentwood Half.
I believe the first Handicap of the year has now been moved to the 3rd April. I
will confirm at the end of the week. If true, the good news is I can't compete
(Bet you are all relieved to hear that bit of news!!!!!!!!!!)

Well, your Web Master has a
Confession to make! What I saw yesterday was the second finish onwards in the
Brentwood. The winner won by over a minute. Did not think anything of it until
I opened an email from Jamie tonight, suggesting he was first Strider home.
Hmmmm! How did I miss Jamie. Well, quite easily, (and not helped by modest Mr.
Nunn who did not point it out in his email), because be winner of the Brentwood
Half Marathon was in fact JAMIE NUNN. Congratulations (and apologies) to Jamie
for a fantastic performance. I look forward to seeing the trophy! I know editor
Kevin is on the case of the results. The results are on the Brentwood-a-becket
website, but no Clubs are listed. Once Kevin has done 'the buz' I will post the
Striders Results.
13th March 2005
First Club Championship event of
the year with the Brentwood Half. Good turnout of Striders. I toddled round the
Fun Run with my Daughter (Thanks Elaine for the picture, don't think Ella was
too impressed!!!) and finished in time to see Chrispian come home as first
Strider in eleventh place (To be confirmed). Next Strider home was Ian Parkin
(very impressed!). Full results to follow. Hope you all had a good run! AGM
: I thought Dave was 'avin a laugh' when he sent me a note about the AGM
this week, as it is two months away. But it is time to give these things some
thought! Do you fancy yourself on the Committee? Do you think some things
should change? Well, now is your chance! Contact Dave to put your name forward. Oh, yes. The date for
the great free T shirt debate? Thursday 26th May @ 8pm.
6th March 2005
Final Cross Country today. Didn't
make it myself but I believe that we finished runners up to Thrift Green. Full
results will be posted when I have them. Don't forget Brentwood Half next
Sunday. Postal entries close tomorrow (Monday), but I am sure you can enter on
the day. Entry form is on the Race Calendar. Preceeding Brentwood on the
Saturday is the Essex Seniors Road Relays. You may have noted on the Home page,
the latest edition of 'The Strider' is available now. Click on the scrolling
