Fanny Adam’s Catering at the MUGA, East Rudham and any other local refreshment outlets. Save our Parishes You may have heard the suggestion that the number of parochial clergy in rural Mobile Post Office East Rudham Green parishes should be reduced. This would be very damaging to the life of the Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays 9.20 -10.20am local church. The reason lies partly in the supposed need for more urban Wednesdays now 3.10-4.10pm and Fridays 10.20-11.20am priests. However, the proportion of people attending churches in rural areas is Post office service, free cash withdrawal facility, a small selection of stationery, considerably higher than the proportion of the resident population attending in sweets and cakes, and orders can be taken for items from Massingham PO urban areas. May I urge you to support your parish church from misguided actions from those who do not understand the church in the country.

JIM HOGAN (Polytechnic Harriers) “ My Sometime Friend ” NORMAN HARRIS HERE is a story in the Bible of an army of Gideon, an army reduced from T 30,000 to a mere 500 by sending back all those whose heart was not fully in the battle and those who showed imprudence in a special test. The 500 who remained remind me of marathon runners. It makes me think of getting together an army of runners, of turning away all those who are not really keen on the idea of running 26 miles, of then offering a guarantee of success in any other event. There would not be many left—but there would be some. It is an argument by those who are not fully in sympathy with the decathlon that this competition attracts only those who cannot be the best in any one single event.

  • Roll of Honour PDF
    Roll of Honour The sport of athletics is overwhelmingly an amateur sport run by volunteers, without whom the sport would not exist. Welsh Athletics firmly believes in recognising those who have given outstanding service to the sport in Wales and the following list contains the names of such individuals. Contents [Click on text to go straight to that section] Lifetime Achievement: ............................................................................... 2 Life Members: ........................................................................................... 3 Award of Honour ....................................................................................... 4 Meritorious Award...................................................................................... 7 Athlete Achievement Award ...................................................................... 12 Historical Note An award scheme for athletics in Wales was inaugurated by the Welsh AAA which was formed in 1948, and was the first body to control athletics throughout Wales. The Award of Honour was the first to be established in 1952 to mark outstanding service over a “long period of time”. The Meritorious Award followed two years later to reward individuals for a shorter period of service. For individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to athletics in Wales, further recognition was introduced in 1989 with the introduction of a Life Member category, with the number restricted to a maximum of ten individuals. In the major re--‐organisation of 1990, the Athletics
