Newsieblack Combe Runners NewsieBlack Combe Runners December 2012: the round up issue Captain Pete’s Final Wave Once more the club has gone from strength to strength over the last year. We’ve had mass participation in races with 31 and Dunneredale and 22 at Kirkby, and we’ve been winning races with records set in the process (thanks to Lizzie and Anna). The club has won a few races as a team as well, ladies at Ulverston, men at Middlefell and Caw and a mixed team at Kirkby. Our 3 relay teams in the UK relay all achieved their highest ever placings (the open team was 36th) and with two teams in the Ian Hodgson our first team hit the top 20. We’ve had quite a few new members this year, particularly a larger number of younger people so the next few years of the club seem pretty assured. Remembering some of our recently departed friends, Pete’s well researched John Peel Trail was a great day out for the summer challenge and has since been featured in the Long Distance Walkers magazine. We also had a local winner of the inaugral Bob Grieve Trophy, for the lowest combined time across all four of our club races, Mike McI winning the mens class with Wendy Dodds taking the womens. So we’re all set for an even more successful 2013, starting with more competition in the winter league races, no noubt leading to more fun throughout. See you at Po House. Lizzie shows Ian Holmes how to ascend. AGM - 29th Jan, Kepplewray The usual pie and peas AGM will take place on the 29th January 2013, 7.30pm at Kepplewray, with a short run beforehand from 6.30pm. This time we have some interesting things up for discussion including election of pretty much all committee positions - Captain, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, ordinary members and the newly suggested post of Membership Secretary. Additionally we need to make an important decision about our affiliation to England Athletics and the impact that will have on club subs. See you there. The Bob Grieve Trophy for the Black Combe Series 2012 saw the introduction of a new prize open to both club and non-club 2012 Trophy Winners members. The persons with the lowest cumulative time for all four Black The Trophies were awarded at this year’s Christmas Do at the Coach Combe organised races, win these lovely trophies, as modelled here by House in Ulverston. The winners were: the first winners of the trophies for 2012 performances - Mike McIver (Black Combe) and Wendy Dodds (Clayton-le- Winter league Mens Paul Kingnorth (again) Moors).

If you do more than 5 then your best 5 count. A point score is worked out depending on how quickly you complete the race compared to the winner - so if you win the race then you score 100, and if you take double the amount of time of the winner, you score 50. A handicap score is also worked out for ladies (who gain 12%) and for vets who gain points for each year over 40. This enables everyone to compete together on an arguably level playing field for the handicap trophy. Its all very scientific. For the Winterleague (organised this year by Rich W) you must complete 4 from 6 to qualify. The winner is allocated a 1, second a 2 etc, and it is the lowest cumulative score which wins the trophy. The catch here, is that the start is handicapped, with the best runners having to catch the rest of the field to win. The view of the handicapper Winterleague is final in all matters, and poor excuses will be penalised.

A mile into the route there was a surprise for the others; at Whelpo bridge Jill and Jane were waiting for us, having got out of bed to cheer us on. After a short chat we were soon on our way again, passing more John Peel landmarks along the way. Just past Longlands we encountered a large, official looking sign saying ‘Footpath closed’. In true BCR style we ignored it, which turned out to be the right decision as we came to another sign saying work wasn’t due to begin till the following Monday. Eventually we reached Ruthwaite and handed over to Will and Mike. After returning to Caldbeck to pick up my car it was on to Ouse Bridge Sometimes in the spring we are asking ourselves what we should do as to rendezvous with Dave, Phil and Rob. Will and Mike soon arrived, our Summer Challenge. Not so this year. As far back as January 2011 my ahead of schedule, and handed over to the others. By now morning suggestion of doing the John Peel Trail met with broad approval. Back then, of course, the John Peel Trail didn’t exist, it being just an idea in my mind, but one I was determined to turn into a reality. So, after many trips north to gather information about the John Peel family history and survey possible routes the trail was ready for launch. Preparation for the Summer Challenge was very much as usual, dividing up the route into legs of various lengths and seeking volunteers. Two things were a bit different: one the personal aspect, that we were honouring the memory of our late President, the other a practical one, was breaking, and what a morning it was! A thin layer of mist in the that we had a detailed description of the entire route.
