Copy deadline for the January issue: Friday 15 December 2 LETTERS LETTER For me this (see letters below) is all about the marshals on the course, at the finish and in the village hall. Kieran Carr Thanks Keiran for a well organised event today, Please pass on our thanks to all the brave marshals who give up all there time, without them we could not have run today. Thank you Sharon and Shaun Godsman.(see you next year) Evening Kieran Just a quick one to say thanks for all your hard work and organisation of the Tour of Pendle last weekend, esp thanks too to the marshals who braved the fairly rubbish weather to collect the bread tags. It’s a great event and a real credit to CLeM as a club. cheers, Toby Cushion LETTER A big thank you to all the Clayton helpers at the Mid-Lancs XC League race at Towneley Park on the 11 November. There were record fields on the day. It ended up a good club effort - both running and helping. Richard Lawson LETTER I would like to nominate Wendy Dodds and Jo Buckley for the run of the month award. They had a magnificent result in this years OMM - Original Mountain Marathon - formerly known as the KIMM. Wendy and Jo finshed 1st. Ladies team in the 'A' class in a total time of just over 14 hours over the two days. They beat the first mixed team by a good half hour and were delighted as it was Cath and Steve Wilson! Well done to you both. Wendy continues to compete at such a high level and produce excellent results like these. Truly amazing and an inspiration to us all. Maureen Ashton LETTER I would like to nominate Richard Lawson for run of the month for October for winning the Lancashire V65 5 mile championships at the Green Drive 5 15/10/06 in a time of 35.07, especially as he had put in a good performance in the x/c at Leyland the day before. Graham A Cunliffe LETTER I think that the Run of the Month for October should go to the veteran men's team for their excellent winning of the vets category in the Ian Hodgson relay, beating many youngsters in the process (including CLEM 'youths') Wendy Dodds 3 WOMEN’S 4 STAGE NATIONAL ROAD RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 21 October at Sutton Park, Birmingham 4 x 4.314km Sent in by Tracy Mitchell Many thanks to the individuals who represented the Clayton Ladies in what I would term a ‘Giant’ event in the road running calendar. Everyone put in a great effort and we finished 55th overall (98 teams at the start). A commendable result – Well Done! Special thanks to Irene for being such a star and stepping in at very short notice. Leg 1 Maureen Laney (16:36) Leg 2 Sue Burns (17:21) Leg 3 Irene Roche (20:03) Leg 4 Tracy Mitchell (17:23) The fastest leg of the day was by Helen Clitheroe (14:11) – something to aim for next year perhaps…. WADDINGTON 10K 22ND OCTOBER Sent in by Richard Lawson Cool and blustery, this one but a good entry of 186 with 174 finishing including 11 Clayton. But what a start! If we wrinklies warm up too much (or at all ) we're in danger of not finishing, but the first half straight up the Waddington Fell Road! I set off on the front row but out of the way of the rush and promptly got passed by 100. By the turn off McAllister had disappeared with Vinny not far behind. The two Martins were sorting each other out but the three in form men of the moment, Messrs Freary, Tattersall and Hayman had all located the village and were already off the front. Mark Brown was 6th and yet only 3rd M40 but beat Paul Muller for consolation. And then Tony Chew! After the turn off the next mile or two are pleasant but then comes a quarter mile drag followed by a short and nasty one. After that it was plain sailing except for the opposition. Vinny and Nigel were beginning to come back as I had Bill Atkinson on my shoulder. They had their thoughts on Bashall Brewery enabling me to sneak past on the hill. Meanwhile John Amos was winning his battle with Howard Henshaw and Kitty ran exceptionally well to beat top-ranked Evelyn Elkington. Funny how a little country race like this can attract so much talent:- M60 38.07, W60 47.06, M70 45.43, and M40 33.50 and, after the debate re. prizes we've had in the club, 20% of the men's field were M60+ !!

Tony began entering road races in 1973 and joined Liverpool Pembroke AC, but two years later he became interested in fell racing and soon transferred to Clayton. Tony mainly preferred short and medium events, chiefly in the Pennines, though he did compete in the now-discontinued Three Towers Race, 20 miles over the East Lancashire moors. However, he will probably be best remembered for completing 27 consecutive Snowdon races, including this year’s event at the age of 76. He won many veteran prizes in all the age categories and did numerous runs for charity, including Snowdon, which he ran the last two years for a Breast Cancer charity after his wife Lil became afflicted with the disease. He and Lil did a lot of fell walking together and Tony often led walks for a local rambling club. He was also a keen cyclist and in his latter years used his cycling to maintain fitness for fell races. We extend our deepest sympathy to Lil and her family, which includes two sons, their wives and children. Tony Ball competing in the Edenfield Fell Race, 1977/78. Photo: Bill Smith LONGMYND HIKE 2007 Sent in by Simon Halliday This years Longmynd hike also happened to be the last counter in the montrail ultra races and needing one more run to complete the series I found myself sending the not inconsiderable entry fee (£17.50) and doing battle with the M6 on the way to sunny Shropshire. Several hours driving and the occasional profanity saw me in Church Stretton just in time to park up on the school play ground as the caretaker was locking up for the night. A glorious sunny morning and excellent forecast gave way to the first obstacle of this event, the kit check. This is a scout-organised race and they do ensure you carry full kit. No photocopies of 5 maps (even though one only has about 2” of the route on it), one guy got knocked back because his bandage wasn’t wide enough! And they even check the grip on your shoes. But don’t worry because they have their own shop as well. Once through kit check the start is at the rather bizarre time of 1pm where nearly 500 people mill around until someone sounds the klaxon, and there off, considering some of this lot are supposed to be walking they can’t half move. The first check is after only a couple miles and up a fairly stiff climb, which at least settles the pace down to a more sensible level.
