It was a gravity assisted slow remembered, as well as steeper.

The Frog was accosted by Vet runner Brenda Ford with a “Is that you Jim?” The quintessential Jim White, top runner, but always the actor, was revealed. The girls in the photo happen to be Brenda’s granddaughters Tameika and Kayleigh. Kermit was spreading happiness and goodwill with the children and was last seen heading towards the lily pond to join his mates.

Mullins Trophy

Pat Mullins donated trophies to runners finishing closest to the 50th percentile as a fitting way to remember husband Reg, for although he was a talented long distance runner he rarely finished better than mid-field in most of his seventy- five handicap runs.

Encouragement Award

This is one of our three most prestigious club-person awards, (others being the Clohessy and Johnson Trophies for service and participation in the monthly throwing handicaps and track and field respectively). This award was proposed and donated by life member Mike Adler in 1980. Over time its criterion has gradually changed to honour “a member who has contributed to the success of the run/walk handicap program s well as benefitting through their own participation.”

On 24 April 2010 Greg Stretton married Karen Fogarty [another vet who competes only rarely]. Whilst the photographer was taking photos on Tathra beach the familiar figure of Roger Stewart emerged from the deep with an unknown mate who insisted on joining in for the attached photo.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Narelle, I wish to correct an error in the report on the CT Fun Run in the "Canberra Times". I was not the oldest male to finish this year. That distinction goes to our Rad Leovic and I congratulate him on his effort. After being the oldest finisher in 2009 my thought was "Where are our keen 80+ members?" I'm delighted that Rad answered my question at last. Good on ya' Rad.
