Boothy’s Bit
A huge THANK YOU to the 34 senior members who answered last month’s pleas by running in the Mid Lancs League XC fixture at Leyland on 3rd March, including a few who had never done a cross-country race before. The number of Clayton runners in and around the tent generated a great atmosphere and it had the desired effect—the men’s ‘A’ team preserved our first division status; the M40 & M50 teams won bronze medals; the M60 team, silver. Results and final league standings are on p26-28. It just shows that, if we can field sufficient runners, the club has the quality to achieve success.
Tuesday Summer Training One of my favourite days comes up on 3rd April, this year: the start of summer training—no more running in the dark! There are some changes to the format. Coach Roche will supervise training on the roads and trails around Worsthorne on Tuesdays throughout the summer months, while fell training (almost) follows the traditional pattern of a different venue each month. Because of the earlier start (6 .30pm) in April and September, we have chosen Sabden as the venue, owing to its central location. (Full details on p24.) Because of the lack of pubs in Sabden, post-run re-hydration will be at the Four Alls, Higham . From mid April junior runners will join us on the fells. Andy Armstrong is looking forward to being overwhelmed by offers of support (see p20). The Summer Series begins on 1st May at Barley. This year, there will be five races, including a relay and we will be joined by run- ners from Trawden AC & Accrington RR (full details on p4).
Mention of running in the dark reminds me of a campaign to adopt British Summer Time throughout the year (2 hours ahead of GMT in the summer months), which would give us more light in the evenings all year. If you would like to find out more, or give the campaign your support, go to www. lighterlater .org for more information.
News Update • My apologies for omitting news of the 2012 Club Championship Races from the February Newsletter. The format will be a single race on the fell, road and country (details on p4). • Just in: new long-sleeved lightweight training tops, complete with club logo. See p14 to find out how you can get your hands on one. • Pendle FR, including the Lancs & English Junior Championship takes place on 7th April. RO, David Bailey needs help—see p15.

JACK BETNEY 1933-2012 As I was putting together this month’s Harrier I received news of Jack’s death. Jack overcame serious injury in his youth to become a member of Clayton-le- Moors Harriers in 1968. He achieved great success at a great range of distances and across all disciplines, especially as a vet, despite suffering very serious injuries in a car accident.
Our condolences go to Jack’s wife, his family and friends.

Ladies’ Fell News
The fell season is picking up well now - Black Combe, Bleasdale, Studmarks from the Summit, Mr Sparkles Dark Un and the Stan Bradshaw Round to name a few races that have seen Clayton ladies competing over the last few weeks. It is great to see Jean Rawlinson back to racing well - first LV50 and LV60 in the Stan Bradshaw Round, well done Jean. Linda Bostock has also been having some good races, first LV50 at Bleasdale for one. Wendy Dodds was third lady and first in all Vet categories at Black Combe. Lisa Richardson was the only Clayton runner at the Dark Un - a night race on Darwen moors - and came in third lady. Well done to everyone!
The first of the English Championship races will have taken place by the time you read this (see below) ; if you are thinking of doing the Coledale Horse- shoe, the second race in the championship, it is pre-entry by 2nd April. Entries are also now open for the Great Lakes Run - one that looks like it will benefit from a recce! Jean
Captains Lead by Example
English Fell Championship – Lad’s Leap (A Short: 6M/1700’)
Fell Captains, Jean Brown & Dave Motley led by example at Saturday’s English Fell Championship opener in sunny Derbyshire.
Bingley’s young star, Emma Clayton eclipsed her 111 rivals, but Jean ran brilliantly to finish in 22 nd place; 8 th vet in a time of 61.20. Our second counter was Wendy Dodds (37 th & first LV60 in 65.05). Anna Kelly completed the team in 47 th place (68.18). The team finished 9 th overall, 2 nd LV40 team and was well supported by: Lorraine Slater (59 th ; 70.47), Alison Athroll (63 rd ; 71.16), Lisa Richardson (64 th ; 71.26) and Alison Dugdale (76 th ; 73.50).
The men tackled the 6 miles of bog, rock and heather an hour later than the women. The high quality field was led home by ex-champion Simon Bailey in a time of 44.16. Captain Motley finished in 97 th place (54.23) – it’s no mean feat to get into the top 100 of over 300 starters in the first race of the championships. Cross country captain, Dave Edmondson was our next finisher (108 th ; 55.35), closely followed by Paul Shackleton (114 th ; 56.12). The MV50 team, comprising Geoff Gough (119 th [8 th MV50]; 56.37), Mark Aspinall (148 th ; 58.34) and Jack Holt (165 th ; 60.31) finished a close second to Burnden RR in the men’s MV50 team competition. Jack was 3 rd MV60, while Pete Booth was 5 th (172 nd overall; 60.55), just behind Ivan Wigham (169 th ; 60.44).
6
In his first championship race, Dominic Carr ran strongly to 190 th place (61.49) defeating dad, Kieran, who was 3 rd MV65 (208 th ; 63.00) and Mark Nutter (218 th ; 63.49). The next English Championship race is Coledale Horseshoe on 15 th April – a classic Lakeland ‘horsehoe’. If you haven’t already entered, you can do so until 2nd April. Let’s have an even more Clayton members there and improve our team positions.
Pete
Calling all Witches!
Would any CleM ladies be interested in following the trail of the condemned Lancashire witches as they went to their fate to Lancaster Castle from Pendle in 1612? This year is the 400 th anniversary of the arrest, trial and hanging of these unfortunate women, and to commemorate the event, I would like to organise a relay from Pendle to Lancaster. As yet, this is only the germ of an idea, and nothing is set in stone, but the route would be approximately Barrowford Heritage Centre, Barley, Downham, Grindleton, Waddington Fell, Dunsop Bridge, over the Bowland Fells to Quernmore, & Lancaster, using off-road footpaths, tracks and trails. The route would be split into roughly 7 or 8 legs, of varying length from 4 to 12 miles. I have no particular date in mind, but the women were hanged on 20 th August, so a possible date would be Sunday 19 th August, (avoiding Saturday 18 th which is Weasdale Horseshoe, English Champs race), but any other date more suitable to those interested would be considered.
The relay wouldn’t be a race, so speed isn’t important, just getting the black cat and broomstick (miniature versions) from East Lancs to Lancaster, so don’t worry if you’re the slowest of the slow, or have raced at Weasdale the day before and need an easy few miles to loosen up; everyone is welcome.
It’s many years (1982) since the ladies’ Pennine Way relay, and since then we’ve had Coast to Coast, Bob Graham, Pendle Way and other relays but none recently. So ladies, let’s take the initiative and make this a day to remember.
If you’re interested, give me a call asap on 01282771907, or email [email protected] so we can meet, determine a date and sort out details.

The XC rules state “All members must wear club colours….failure can lead to disqualification”. Pete went on to report he always wore his vest but on one occasion when doing the Tour of Pendle on a very misty day he had the thought that if he didn’t want runners from other clubs following him he shouldn’t wear the vest – in the event it didn’t work they just followed ‘Big Pete from Clayton’. In the results:- St.Anne’s 10 M – 1st V60 Richard Lawson (72.19)

THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE 9-10th JUNE 2012
A team of young, energetic, good looking and talented volunteers, and Clayton Harrier Mark Wightman, are taking on the challenge of summiting the 3 highest peaks of England, Scotland and Wales in less than 24 hours. As most of you will know, the plan is to climb Ben Nevis (4,409ft) first, then Scafell Pike (3,206ft), and finally Snowdon (3,560ft).
All members of the team, called ”Are We There Yet?” are work colleagues at Whittle Eastern Europe Logistics in Clitheroe.
And why are we doing it? To raise money for Action Medical Research, the leading UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of babies and children, giving them a better start in life and stopping suffering. As you can see on the website, www.action.org.uk , over the last 60 years the charity has been instrumental in numerous successful breakthroughs, but because it receives no government funding, it has to rely entirely on donations.
Our target is to raise £2000 and any of you kind souls wishing to sponsor us can do so on the following link:-
www.action.org.uk/sponsor/weell
Many of us take our good health for granted, but some little ones are not so lucky. So please give generously: your kindness can do so much!
Thanking you in advance for your kind support.

The aim is partly to introduce the more able runners to more challenging terrain and also to make the work of the junior section more visible to the rest of the membership. For these sessions to be a success we really need your help. Last year we called on all members to consider donating just an hour of their time on one Saturday. To say we were underwhelmed by the response would be an under- statement (but thank you to those that did help out). This year I'm giving all you lucky people a chance to redeem yourselves. If you're planning to attend Tuesday sessions then please give some serious thought to helping out on just one day at least. You won't be required to do any actual coaching, It's just a case of having an extra pair of hands in case the wheels fall off; they haven't yet! I'll put more details on the website closer to the date but feel free to contact me sooner if you have any queries. We'll be covering around four miles or more, but there will be plenty of opportunity to push yourself if you want. The sessions will be properly structured and include those well known delights; Warm Up, Cool Down and Stretching!
These guys and girls are part of Clayton's future, let's make them feel part of our community and give them all the help we can. Andy Armstrong

COMMITTEE NEWS February 2012
15 members were present. The main points of discussion and decisions were: • Club Mark sub committee had met, and a further meeting was planned for 19.3.12. Agenda item for next meeting. • Jim H now had the Gift Aid and other envelopes from the Presentation Evening and would report to the next meeting. Jim also requested that our next meeting considers the distribution of charity funds raised in 2011. • Chairman mentioned that UKA regulations had now changed so that only one month “suspension” now had to be served for athletes changing clubs. • Marion reported that the 2012 junior race series had been sorted, with a variety of races over trail and fell, culminating in the track race at the AGM in August. • Park Runs (a la Heaton Park) would be starting in Towneley Park, Burnley in May 2012 • Junior Member, Natalya Irvine, had been featured in the latest edition of the Fellrunner. • Marie reported on recent presentation evening: 112 tickets sold, food good, good value, no real ale, would have been better on a Saturday. Had already begun planning our 2013 “do” and also the FRA “do” set for November 2013. • Small junior vests ordered and expected in the near future • Long sleeved white technical training shirt with club badge shown to the meeting. Val to see if we can produce long sleeved top with club colour bands. • Dave presented initial analysis of age range and geographical location of our membership. Would try to circulate it via email in due course.
Next Meeting: 7.00pm, Monday 2 nd April, 2012 at the Peel Park Accrington

Tuesday Summer Training Venues 2012
There is a change to the format of our summer training sessions for this year. Each Tuesday throughout the summer, John Roche will lead training groups on the trails and roads around Worsthorne. Members who prefer not to run on the fells in April should meet John in Worsthorne Village Square at 6.30pm.
Summer fell training will follow the usual format of group runs from the following venues, at the time stated:
Date Time Venue
3, 10, 17, 24 April 6.30pm Black Hill Car Park, Sabden Post run: The 4 Alls, Higham
1, 8, 15, 22, 29 May 7.00pm Barley Car Park
5, 12, 19, 26 June 7.00pm Village Square, Worsthorne
3, 10, 17, 24, 31 July 7.00pm Calf’s Head Hotel, Worston
7, 14, 21, 28 August 7.00pm Peel Park Hotel, Accrington
4, 11, 18, 25 September 6.30pm Black Hill Car Park, Sabden
All members are welcome to take part in the Tuesday Fell Runs, The usual arrangement is for three groups to run from each venue for between one and two hours, although this can vary according to numbers, weather and what members have done at the weekend.
If you are new to the Club/summer training runs/fell running, please make your- self known to a Committee member or group leader before the run and we will attempt to place you in the most appropriate group.
All members should ensure that they carry some emergency/extra clothing with them on the run: wind (water)-proof top, over trousers, hat and gloves. The weather can change very quickly on the fells. If you, or someone else in the group has an accident, you can very quickly become cold or hypothermic, even on the most pleasant of evenings. It’s also a good idea to carry a drink and some emergency food (sweets, chocolate bar), in case you are out longer than you expect—it has been known for a group leader to get carried away occasionally.
