Page 2 LnBinnan S Chat —Derek Goodchild (Reprinted from Chairman's Report AGM, 1999) Derek, standing.... This is not the first time Ihave risen from awarm seat with apiece of paper in my hand, surrounded by fellow runners. Neither is it the first time I have looked across aroom at acrowd of Lordshill Road Runners, with aglass of red wine in front of me. It is, however, the first time I have ad dressed the AGM ofthe club as ifs Chairman and I am pleased to report that the Club continues to thrive. Derek takes hisseat...your relatively large Committee has met on eight occasions during the year and used ifssize to set up smaller working parties to organise various events, all as far as I am aware, having been successful. The two road races, the 10 miler and the 10km, were well attended by runners and our members and their friends and families turned out in force to help make them asuccess. We have failed to find any ma jor sponsors for the races, which causes headaches for the race organisers, but Dave Clothier, Paul Bur- nage, Jenny Dawes and Terry Prynn deserve the Club's gratitude for all their efforts and the income those efforts generated. The fine evening of the 10km event and the absence of any major sporting event on Revision that evening saw something like 80 entries on the day, making aconsiderable profit Our two off-road events, the CC5 and the RR10, were equally successful, particularly as we moved the RR10 to a new venue. Thanks are due to all who helped atthese events, and all the social events as well. It is worth mentioning again the part played by many ofthe members' children at our events, which was acknowledged at the annual prize giving bash. The usual major social events were the post-Christmas bash and Club awards ceremony, this year at a new venue, and the New Forest 10 Barbecue, blessed with warm weather that almost always makes this agood day out for all the family. Another barbecue was held after the last race ofthe RR10 series, with quite acrowd ofhungry members benefiting from Ryan Letheren's culinary skills, and Dad, Mike, ar ranged a successful skittles evening at the Mortimers at Ower. The Club Newsletter continues to improve thanks to the efforts of the Editor and his Publisher, Roger and Jim, but I must echo Roger's recent plea for race reports from other members; it would make Roger's job easier and avoid him having to write about events he did not actually get to! The year has seen the development of the Lordhill Road Runners French HQ, courtesy of Geoff and Jenny Dawes, whose generous hospitality has been enjoyed by several members. The race profits for the next ,jwyears will have tobe increased to pay for the installation ofmore showers and toilets chez Dawes be cause the queues before and after runs have been particularly long and smelly. Geoff also arranged a house in Anglesea for the large contingent who went tothe Snowdonia Marathon last year, booked the whole ofthe lamb and Flag' at Rhayader for the Round the Lakes 20 Miler in March, and found another very pleasant Gite for the trip to Caen. Several members have gone 'ultra' in the last year. Laura Savill, Mike Newman and Roger Bradley have all covered distances longer than the marathon and the Medoc team have recently covered the marathon distance in an ultra-time ofalmost six and aquarter hours, with the solo finisher taking considerably longer after drinking beer (on a wine race) with some of the 100-Marathon Club. Various individuals have won prizes ata number ofevents, the major success ofthe year being our women's team atthe South Coast Marathon, who picked upa team prize aswell assome individual prizes. Keith Langford had a great 8th place atthe New Forest Marathon, with 3rd vefs prize as well; all on a training run! Numbers are well upwith a steady stream of new members being signed up and even some old faces re turning to the streets in their kit. Training nights still have a variable turn-out but theTuesday effort ses sions, coached by Laura and Dave are still the biggest draw for numbers of runners and the results can be seen inthe improvements shown by manymembers I hope that the new yearand the new Committee will see the Club to continue to thrive. 4 fy?§» *. e J%. tog* ^ ~*Z^t*W^fi&**$k'*t> )V^v,vvtwT t:-V/F7) fc't * *"' rvt'-?-^f^5^^' Page 3 Sunday September 19th 1999. The Great South Run Southsea. We were up early after avery wet and windy night to get to Portsmouth in time for the children's event starting at 09.35. As weapproached Portsmouth on the Motorway the weather started to im prove but Southsea Common was pretty squelchy for parking acar on. We watched our children run along with nearly athousand others in the Junior Great South Run which they manaqed to complete in the dry. i * r Over 5000 runners packed the starting compound for the main event to be told that there was aten minute delay. The heavens opened and we were drenched before we set off. After some urgent clapping from the runners we were sent on our way. It was not quiet as bad as the London Mara thon but it took some minutes before everyone cleared the start. As the publicity tells us the route passes many points of historical interest but Ido not think that many of us took them in. The heavy rain persisted until well past the Victory in my case. There are two large switchbacks on the route. The second one on Southsea front allowed me to see the leaders pounding back to the finish. Afew ^ears ago Iwould have missed that sight Although this is aflat course it was not fast in these conditions. Unless you are near the front there are just too many runners on the course, and the organisers want to attract 10,000 next year. It is not clear how all those people are going to get into the city on time. While Dilys, despite aloo stop, managed avery respectable time, Iwas rewarded with apersonal worst and the help of a first-aider a short while after the finish. Our day was made, however, when the children's results were collated Their race was held over two miles and was open to 7to 15 year-olds. Esme, our 8year old won the under 11 trophy for girls and Laurence was third boy home under eleven. They both received Golden cups and we were naturally very proud Perhaps we will now have to ease out gracefully, become spectators and take up bridge! JerryGartside. Sunday September 26* 1999 - Nottingham Marathon and HalfMarathon. Soistance running is not dying, as entries were up for the fifth year running on what has become a big day in Nottingham. With a large piece of lace as a momento, two different patterns for the full and half, runners do have the incentive to run both races in their running career. The full Marathon uses the same course asthe half for its first thirteen miles which, after taking the runners through the old market place and round Nottingham Castle, threads it'sway out to Wollaton Hall. After running through the Hall's parkland and then round the outside we all had a look at Nottingham University before heading south tothe River Trent, but not crossing itas this isleft tothe Marathon runners. As thetwo setsof runners parted atthestart ofthe finishing straight the longer course heads east for a big loop round Colwick lake and Nottingham Race Course before crossing the Trent for two smaller loopssouth of the river. The conditions thisyear were good for the start after heavy overnight rain but did geta little warm towards the end for the Marathon runners. Thewomens Marathon was won by Mandy Spink, aged 34, in 2 hours 52.31. This was Mandy's first Marathon ever, two years after having a child, which she won by 11 mins.Apart from a five mile race it was her first competitive race for four years! There's hope for us all yet. Roger Bradley Page 4 October 3rd 1999 The Blandford Tower Half Marathon. Dorset. Advertised as a'Multi-Terrain Half Marathon' and based at an Army Camp, in my opinion the course was more ofagentle cross country run; all on wide paths, no cobbles or pebbles, no streams to wade or cross, no acres of mud to negotiate or steam banks to crawl up or down. Just avery pleasant jog in the rolling Dorset countryside, 90% off-road on grass, chalk, sand and gravel tracks. As with all races organised by the forces there was abriefing before the race where aman with abig stick described the course in great detail. The route, after alap and aquarter of avery good quality running track, takes the runner east through Tarrant Monkton before two loops up and down dale across some lovely countryside. Eventually you follow agrass path from Little Down which connects with the outward route back through Tarrant Monk- ton. Here, as on the outward journey, the runner has the choice of running through the stream or crossing the foot bridge. The finishing few hundred yards are down hill and Wcross the centre ofthe running track. Good parking, baggage-storage, shower and changing facilities are provided along with a chuck wagon. On the course were separate drink and sponge stations which were well ad vertised in advance. Next October when you have decided that the Clarendon Way Marathon is abittoo far, why not have ago at this well organised event - only 50 mins from Southampton. Roger Bradley August 15tkl999 - fate ofWight Half Marathon, Sandown. Even a warm, sunny tlay did notattractmany runner* to the Isle of i^JTight HalfMarathon. There were only 109 finishers, amongst which Garry GUtss ran in in53^ place, 16th \ret40, outof27 vet finisher*. Per haps runners from, past years stiilhave memories ofthe long stretches ofun-policedroads with lots oftraffic that form mostofthe first halfand last few miles ofthe race. Garry found the trip overto Sandown via Portsmouth to Ryde ferry andtrain to the startvery pleasant. Running the race and making the return trip got him back In Southamptonjust in time for him to watch the Saints put four goals in against Newcastle United! Sandown Schoolat which this lowkey race is based has reasonable fa cilities, but ifyou fancy a tlay out nextyear, take yourown food A medal in a plastic wallet, no ribbon, is yourprize at the endofthe race.

While aparty ofLordshill Runners were drinking their way round 'The Ballard' having staggered round the Medoc Marathon the previous day, one lone runner (me) plus wife and baby braved the sun and heat of Dorset. With it's new slogan 'Simply The Beast' this popular race winds for roughly thirteen miles around the Isle of Purbeck touching on the villages of Worth Matravers and Kingston. Between the two villages the route takes you out to St. Aldhems Head with itlovely view across Chapmans Pool before the stretch across the fields with the view ofCorfe Castle in the distance that takes the runner back to the finishing line. The two drink stations, the first coming quite early in the race, proved to be inadequate on one ofthe hottest days of the year. The race was started by acount down. Three, two, one and then from the front could be heard a host of runners and spectators shouting 'BANG'. As Ijogged past the starter, he was looking at the starting pistol and Iheard him say 'funny, it did not work last year'. Many runners were having to reduce their pace before reaching the second lot ofwater. Atough but scenic race that this year attracted agood turn out from other local clubs including runners i^/ho had been atOverton orThe Test Way the previous day. RogerBradley Sunday September 12th 1999 New Forest Half and full Marathon, New Milton. The two annual runs around the New Forest started off in sunshine which continued for much of the day. Marathon runners certainly found it a bitwarm towards the end of their race. Lordshill's only finisher in the marathon, out of the 295 who did finish was Keith Langford in 2.53.17, in 8th place - not his best time for amarathon but very good for the hilly course that the New Forest provides. Keith was amongst the prize winners as he was 3 vet and received a piece of china which was made locally. Atthe end ofthe half marathon, Dave Clothier was our first runner home in 170th place 01.32.56, followed by Ian Whitcher in 1.34.45. Other members times included: 286 Mike Letheran 1.38.33 307 Phil Angel 1.39.51 O 400 Roy Mc Loughlin 1.44.17 538 Helen Backshell 1.49.37 (P.B.) 720 Chris Dawes 1.56.32 (P.B.) Roger Bradley Saturday October 16th 1999 Weymouth 10 mile. After thegales ofthe day before, winds strong enough tostop sailing boats venturing out, Saturday turned out to be alovely day for arun around Weymouth Bay. Based inWeymouth Pavillion alongside the docks thecourse isa'there and back* with two loops at the eastern endofWeymouth Bay. Nice and flat for the first two and last two miles, the two loops over Purzy Cliff and through theWaterside Holiday Park before running down thesideoftheA353 are alittle bumpy. The club had four members running with Dick Baines in 59th place being first to the finish. Dick Baines 66.34 (59th), Dave Clothier 69.24 (78th), Phil Angel78.06 (141st), Roger Bradley 82.16 (170th).

The day of the race was dry and cold and began in mist in Dunfermline - runners being bussed out to the start. The route then worked its way back to the Firth of Forth, crossing the Forth Road Bridge to follow the road along the shoreline for much of the race, before turning onto adisused railway line that curved back into Edinburgh city centre at Princes Street Finally, the runners passed through Hollyrood Palace, to finish in the Meadowbank Stadium, where they were presented with a medal and T-shirt Although anumber of aspects of this race were fine, including the pre-race information, registration arrange ments, directions to the start and parking facilities, Geoff found that they ran out of water and energy gel, and due to the nature of the course, there was very little public support out of the city centre. Added to that the roads were reopened far too early, causing a problem with traffic, and it seems the last few runners to cross the line found that much of the facilities had closed. ghis race is being billed by some as 'the new London', with big ideas for the future - although the expected 000 runners seem to have been somewhat reduced with just 3500 finishers. It was the first attempt, but as Geoff says, they will have to 'buck their ideas up' if they want to compare with London. Geoff completed the marathon in 5.21:00, but he says he won't be heading back next year. Lefs hope they can sort out the nicies, because it can only be agood thing that we have more big events available, espe cially as races such as marathons appear to have been reducing in number in recent years. Geoff Ford/Jim Shepperd LORDSHILL ROAD RUNNERS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 1999 OnThursday September 23rd another very successful A.G.M. washeld atOaklands towhich 22 members attended. Last years officers were all willing tostand for another year and as there were no other nominations all were re-elected. Three committee members asked to stand down as they felt lack ofattendance at committee meetings during the year (due to othercommitments) did nothelp the club. The floor thanked Jerry Gartside, Helen Kinrade jiid LizRowden for their help during their time on the Committee. Three new members were ^ected onto the Committee; Anne Francis, Sue Jewsbury and Helen Backshell, thereby main taining the Committee at it's current size. A list of Committee members is shown below. Wine, biscuits and cheesewhere takenthroughout theevening during which discussions were heldonvarious items including members fees -which as long as theClub has ahealthy balance inthe bank, will stayat £6.00 - Saturday Cross Country League entryfor which the entry cost has gone up from £25-00 to £40.00. The club will pay the £40.00 this season but will only pay next year ifenough members turn uptorun this season. For list ofX-Country dates seeelsewhere inthis issue. Ideas were also sought to promote Thursday nights as atraining night for runners ofall paces - with some success! Come along onThursdays and hopefully you'll see the difference!
