I did my bit pacing Shane Kennedy and Jenny Shard to 3k PBs . Paul Shard put in another workmen like performance showing he's over his recent 100 miler . So many great efforts .

2 In this club, have you ever wondered...

Who puts up the nets? Who puts them away? (I’d love to help, but just now I can’t stay.)

Who fills the urn? Who makes the tea? (It isn’t my job, don’t look at me)

Who collects empty bottles? Who washes up? (What a nerve. She asked me to bring back my cup!)

Who fills the icebox with all those cool drinks? (What, no bitter lemon? The service here stinks!)

Who is the mug who is always umpiring? (I’d try it myself, but find it too tiring)

Who locks every lock? Who shuts every gate? (What does it matter? She’ll be right mate.)

Who does all these things? I really can’t say ---- What’s more I don’t care. I just came here to play.

Sun Safety

As our summer weekend competition moves into full swing, it’s an appropriate time to remember to bring a brim hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and shirt along with you to the track. UV. It All Adds Up We usually think of sunburn as something that happens at the beach. But did you know more of us get sunburnt during day-to-day activities like hanging the washing, weekend BBQs or heading outside to grab lunch? We might not think of these everyday moments as times we need sun protection, but this “incidental” UV damage also contributes to our risk of cancer. Your skin is like a memory bank – it remembers all the sunburns, all the tans and all the time you spent exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, without sun protection. Over time, this UV damage can result in premature ageing, eye damage, sunspots, and ultimately, skin cancer. To prevent UV damage – and cut your risk of skin cancer – protect your skin this summer.
