Boothy’s Bit

Relays In my third Boothy’s Bit (Nov 2008) I put forward the opinion that taking part in relays was one of the best things about being a member of Clayton-le-Moors Harriers. Accordingly, I encouraged members to volunteer to Captains to run—as I wrote the words I suspected, realistically, that this was a forlorn hope.

CleM entered 8 teams in the 2010 Calderdale Way Relay. When the postponed event finally took place on 8th May 2011, we managed to scrape together only 5 teams. Things were so desperate that, at the grand age of 60, I made my debut for the Senior A Team. (Partly because of the Committee’s policy of aiming to select only Senior runners for the A Team and a dearth of under 40 runners.) Great, you might think, but Fell Captain Neil thought that the Vets B Team might beat the Senior A Team. In the event, it was a fairly close-run thing—not healthy!

It has to be said that the (postponed) 2010 CWR was not a great success. Many clubs struggled to put out their best teams—if any teams at all—and would regard fielding five teams a triumph. All were agreed that the difficulties in turning out teams were due to the time of year, competing family commitments, too many other events/races, so I was fairly relaxed about the situation, especially when our Vets Teams won the 1st & 2nd Vets Team prizes (contested by only 3 vets teams!). Reports on p6 & p20. Results p22.

BUT, with the British Masters’ Road Relays, always held in mid May, at which CleM has enjoyed great success over the years, once again, we had a situation where the event was advertised in the New Year, teams were selected and advertised, only for members who had promised to run to melt away, the nearer we got to 21st May. As with the CWR, we then had harassed captains ringing round in the days/hours before the event, desperately trying to fill places: combining teams; cancelling teams. In the end we had only 3 teams: M35, M55 & M65 (out of 5 entered). It was in just such circumstances that a CleM team was disqualified from last year’s Northern 12-Stage Road Relay when, under severe pressure to put out a team (and not to disappoint 12 members who were keen to compete), our Road Captain allowed an unregistered runner to compete. Embarrassing and disappointing!

In the not-too-distant past, there was intense competition to qualify for relay teams and you got into road relay teams only via a time trial. It was an honour to represent your club. More recently, with fewer members, competition has not been so great and more than a few capable, committed captains have thrown in the towel, worn down by the repeated struggle to put out relay teams—on the road, cross country and fell.

The process follows a familiar pattern: initial agreement—enthusiasm, even—by more than enough members to make a decent team; a few withdrawals (not unexpectedly) over the weeks, due to injury/illness/family commitments; THEN lots of late withdrawals in the days immediately preceding the event, giving the team captain huge last-minute problems. Discussing the state of affairs with long-standing members, they sense a relative lack of pride in, and commitment to, being a member of Clayton-le-Moor Harriers (apologies to the members who can always be relied on to turn out, when selected).

As Chair, I feel that one of my most important tasks is to maintain the profile and high reputation of CleM Harriers, hard won over many decades. Sadly, I’m beginning to wonder whether we ought to withdraw from relays for a while because the present situation isn’t doing a great deal for our reputation - and before the club no longer has any captains to select and organise teams.

GREAT NEWS Me and my big mouth! Our magnificent M65-74 team: Barry Mitchell, Dave Scott and Ted Orrell returned from Sutton Park with GOLD MEDALS, having won their relay by a convincing margin, to be hailed as British Relay Champions. A full report will appear in the July Harrier.

The M35 and M55 teams also had a splendid day out, witnessing the M65 team’s triumph before taking part in some excellent racing. Thanks to all who represented the club so well; every runner gave his all (special thanks to Richard Lawson, who was drafted into the M55 team at the last minute). I did consider changing ‘Boothy’s Bit’ (written before the event) in the light of Saturday’s results, and the ‘feel-good factor’ it engendered, but have decided not to do so, because much of it, I feel, remains valid.

What do you think…….?

Tony Riley

On Monday, 16th May, along with a number of other CleM members, it was my sad duty to attend Tony’s funeral. Tony joined CleM in the mid 1980s, but succumbed to a rare form of motor neurone disease on 6th May, at the age of only 63. Our condolences go to Tony’s family and friends. Paul Healey has written a short appreciation on p12.

Calderdale Way Relay 2010 May 8 th 2011.

When the new date was announced for the Calderdale Relay I bet every team captain thought that they would have no trouble putting a team together: no winter colds and flu, no niggles turning to injuries in the frost, nice sunny weather to get everyone up for it and make recce’s easy…

And then you speak to people at training or read the website forums…people can’t be bothered, have other ambitions and other races to run…

“Shack, you’re on leg 6 with so and so” ..a few days later..”change of plan you’re running with so and so”…Friday night before the race..” Shack, you’re running with me”…

It was a beautiful day, Sunday the 8 th and I arrived in Halifax around 9.30am. I recced the last mile of the altered route as requested by Captain Worswick, “Just to make sure” and chilled out with the Raynet radio lads, hassling them for news of team number 96, Clayton Vets A team.

Calder Valley had stormed into a five minute lead on Leg 1 and team number 96, Andy Stubbs and Mark Aspinall, were already leading the vets race, in 24 th overall. Vets B runners Lee Clough and Andrew Foster were in 60 th position and 3 rd vets.

Vets A Leg 2 runners: Ian Greenwood and Mark Wightman ran well to record 8 th fastest leg of the day, pulling back ten places to hand over in 14 th place. Vets B runners, fresh from warming up in the Pendle Cloughs the day before, pulled back twelve places into 48 th .

You hear stories, well I did, of runners phoning their captains on the morning of the race to pull out. And then, we have lads like Steve Bury and Richard Bellaries who can do a tough race like Pendle Cloughs and still run well the day after. Well done lads, I take my hat off to you. I couldn’t do it, the Pendle Cloughs the day before, no chance. I couldn’t pull out on race day either.

Leg 3 and my nomination for run of the month, Alan Life, flew round with Geoff Gough in 39.36, 7 th fastest leg bringing Vets A into 10 th place. He’s a good runner is Alan, you would expect him to break forty minutes on this leg, but consider that he was 4 th at Pendle Cloughs the day before…

Dave Bate and Stephen White for Vets B kept the pressure on Calder Valley vets pulling back seven places into 41 st . At the front, Calder Valley had a fourteen minute lead.

Leg 4: Dave Edmondson and Simon Thompson ran the 6 th fastest leg taking Vets A into 7 th place. The Horrocks brothers for Vets B pulled through to 36 th place, taking over from Calder Valley vets as 2 nd vets team. On Leg 5, Andy Orr and Dave McMullan dropped to ninth place for Vets A and Vets B runners John Roche and Nick Roscoe had a blinder, almost embarrassing the Vets A runners, finishing in 12 th fastest leg of the day and moving Vets B into 28 th place.

So, accompanied by the indestructible Neil Worswick (I’ll explain later) I’m off on Leg 6, round the well marked detour in the woods and heading for Halifax via the picturesque Brighouse. It’s not the Langdale Valley, although having raced the Ben and Langdale without a scratch, I was embarrassed to finish a race through quiet lanes and fields with my shin covered in blood. Neil and I held 8 th place and brought Vets A home in 1 st place in the vets race. This ended a busy week for Neil, having raced the Three Peaks on Saturday, Hameldon on Sunday, another fell race on Monday and Pinhaw Moor on Friday. Like I said, indestructible. Jeff Pickup and Mick Toms ran well to keep Vets B in 2 nd place in the vets race and in 30 th position overall.

Captain Neil Worswick would like to thank everyone in the Clayton vets teams for running and in particular those who withstood niggles, injuries, fatigue and family/work responsibilities in order to run.

Paul Shackleton

Message from the President

Post script to the 3 Peaks. Several people commented that they thought I'd set off too fast in the 3 Peaks this year. My times to the top of Pen-y-Ghent over the last 5 years would appear to disprove this thought.

2007 - 43.20 2008 - 43.44 2009 - 43.30 2010 - 43.45 2011 - 43.33

Also this year I managed not to get cramp on Ingleborough and had my fastest time since 2003.

El Presidente

[Well done, Dave, on your 44th completion of 3 Peaks.]

Covering Old Ground

25 years ago (June 1986) It was announced there was to be a 4 mile Fell Fun Run from Sabden with all proceeds going towards new equipment for the Physio Dept. at Burnley General Hospital following Peter Lord’s illness and his current treatment at the unit. It was rumoured the event would be on Television??? Amongst the new members were Lou Myers of Sandy Beds; Steve Green of Gt.Harwood; Monica Shone of Altrincham; Eric Frost of Colne; and Paul Carradice of Nelson. In the Results: Coniston 14 – Winner Roger Brewster 71.49 – 1124 finished Burnley Boys 10K – 1st V40 Dave Scott 36.44; 1 st V50 Don Barton 37.39

20 years ago (June 1991) • Our Road Team captained by Mark Briggs had two teams in the Manchester- Blackpool Relay. The A’s achieved their best position ever – 5th overall, and the B’s were first in their class and 15 th overall. The Editor reported some disappointment in regard to our fell achievements – “We continue to turn out large numbers of club vests in and around Lancashire, but in a much wider field can we continue to claim Clayton as a top fell running club any more??” [Sound familiar? - Ed] • The Run of the Month went to Alan Heywood for his Three Peaks run. • The ‘Captain’s Corner’ featured Dave Scott our Vets Captain. Asked when he started running he replied “12 years old when I discovered that I was one of the best at Burnley Grammar School….I was head-hunted by Stan Bradshaw when I was 15….the next week I was at Padiham Town Hall to be picked up by Stan in his red Volvo, with Alf Case in the front seat. My heroes became George Brass, Alistair Patten, Denis Hopkinson, and Stan Bradshaw.” In the Results: 11 th London Marathon – John O’Connor (607 th ) 2.41.13; Mick O’Connor 2.58.08; Mark Brown 3.07.02; Frances Wood 3.15.10; Alison Lee (Martin) 3.18.04; Ray Martin 3.19.23; Michael Frost 3.23.39; Doug Munroe 3.25.00; Brian Leathley 3.32.30; Jim Davies 4.08.28; Kitty Garnett 4.09.00; Mike Owen 4.16.00; Eric Frost 4.22.00 Calder Valley FR – 1st Lady: Wendy Dodds 2.26.15

15 years ago (June 1996) The club competition to design a new logo and Secretary Pete Browning reported back. The Committee found it really tough to choose a winner as the submissions were all of good standard. The winner was to be announced in due course but Pete wished to thank those who submitted designs (some members more than one) – Richard Bellaries, Jon Sharples, Phil Taylor, Mike Wallis, and Gwilym Williams. Amongst the new members – Anna Kelly, Michael O’Donnell.

In the Results: In the Manchester-Blackpool Relay we had two teams – V40 and V50. The V50’s finished third. London Marathon – Mick Green 2.54; Adam Durkin 3.06; Robert Kay 3.27; Derek Roberts 3.28; Frank Gee 3.50; Colin Farnworth 4.06; Derek Stott 4.18; Kitty Garnett 4.51; Alan Calvert 4.57; David Rowlands 5.01; Tom Pate 5.30. MLXC Hyndburn – Ladies 1 st team; Ladies Vets 3 rd ; Senior men 2 nd ; Men’s B 1st; V40 1st ; V50 1 st . Ovenden & Stanbury Splash – 1st V50: Keiran Carr (10 th & 25 th ). Boulsworth & Bolton-by-Bowland – 1st V50: Barry Mitchell (20 th & 14th); Bolton BB – Vanessa Peacock 1 st Lady (76 th ).

Run of the Month went to Val Lawson for her achievement in the London Marathon (at the age of 59) 4.33 (including a 9 minute walk to the start line).

10 years ago (June 2001) Andy Stubbs, Road Captain, was the focus for the newsletter editor. Andy said he started running whilst at University in the late 80’s charging around the Chester City Walls as a means of battling hangovers. Andy normally ran 20-25 miles a week but seeking quality rather than miles. When asked if he preferred training alone or in a group he answered “it depends who is in the group!!!” When asked for his views on our club he replied “I can’t think of any other club in the country with such a large membership, a flourishing social calendar and as much success on fell, cross- country, and road. I also can’t think of any other club or institution which can boast such a colourful mix of eccentric characters.” ( I can’t think who he means!)

Peter Browning reported on the trip for the Manx. A party of 17 Club members made the journey to the Isle of Man. Unfortunately the event was cancelled because of Foot & Mouth and so their interest was transferred to the Easter Athletics Festival. To add a bit of fun to the occasion Clem members introduced a ‘no wearing of watches’ and had to predict their competition times (putting a £1 each into the pot). Andrew Orr took the £11 prize in the 5 mile race (1second out). A new rule was introduced later much to the dismay of Andrew – the winner had to buy a round of drinks! Steve Whitaker and Pete Browning won the second pot. Pete went on to win the third pot. The group enjoyed a 10 pin bowling session and arm wrestling later. In the results:- National 12 Stage Road Relay our men came 39 th out of 69. London Marathon: Jason Harbour (220 th ) 2.41.59; Neil Worswick (287 th ) 2.48.50; Mick Green (483 rd ) 2.51.25; Lindsay Hudson (3801) 3.28.19; Peter Thompson (3950) 3.28.49; Dany Robson (6900) 3.46.24; Derek Stott (7247) 3.48.03; Kitty Garnett (14142) 4.19.18; Martin Ritson (17245) 4.33.01; Val Lawson (17312) 4.33.20. Southport 10K : 1 st V45: Roger Brewster (5 th ); McDonalds Waterloo 15K: 1st V40: Paul Brannon; Blackpool 10K: 1st LV55: Val Lawson (1220) 3259 finished.

5 years ago (June 2006 ) The Club’s Poet Laureate, Mick Green, wrote;

A man Called Alan Heaton Ran thirty-eight times The Three Peaks Race in Yorkshire When he was in his prime.

This set people thinking That they could beat this feat But none of them could do it All attempts met with defeat

But Dave Scott kept on running He ran it year on year Then he began to realise The record was very near

So now he’s gone and done it He’s run it thirty-nine times The Three Peaks Race in Yorkshire An achievement to stand all time.

Run of the Month went to Dave Scott for his Three Peaks achievement.

In the Results:- Kitty Garnett sent in her annual report of the London Marathon : Jamie Baldwin (325 th ) 2.44.27; Peter Butterworth (683) 2.53.22; Martin Terry (1151) 2.59.11; Mick Green (1174) 2.59.22; Alan Clarkson (2363) 3.12.53; Dave Bate (2522) 3.14.08; Donna Riley (11787) 4.00.15; Kitty Garnett (25253) 4.57.44. 34000 ran.

Tony Riley

Tony joined Clayton in Jan 1985. Whilst never a top competitor, he always loved the outdoors and wildlife. Tony and I ran many races together including the Haworth Hobble and Calderdale Way Relay. He was usually a little quicker than me but to my advantage if he spotted ‘an out of the ordinary bird’ he would stop to watch it and this gave me the chance to catch up and sometimes go in front. He was a great friend with a laid back social manner. Whoever met him found him easy to chat to and good fun.

Tony started to be ill three or four years ago with a very rare form of Motor Neurone disease. This illness progressed until he could no longer enjoy his favourite past- times of wandering around the countryside with friends and family. Tony died on Friday 6 th May. He will be a great loss to his family and to those of us in Clayton who knew him – but some happy memories will always be there.

COMMITTEE NEWS th Monday 9 May

17 members were present.

Main topics for discussion and decisions were: • Flag design agreed upon, flag to be ordered from Imp Sports at ~£100 • Treasurer has re-applied to the HMRC for Community Club status. • Membership Secretary reported problems accessing the EA database for affiliation of members and updating existing records. • Fell – CWR on 8 th May struggled to get teams, although on the day fielded senior, 2 ladies and 2 veterans. The vets were 8 th overall; 1 st Vets. • Road – Ted Orrell continues to put in some excellent times, breaking records for the Pinhaw Moor race and UK best times on road for10M

• Junior: New venue at Padiham Unitarian Church causing problems for some parents, however as a venue it is excellent and we hope to continue in its use.

• Coaching Report from the sub-committee, Courses identified as: For the juniors:1-day Leadership in Fell Running and 2-day Coaching in Fell Running For seniors. 1-day Leadership in Fell Running and 2-day Coaching in Fell Running; 1-day Leadership in Running Fitness and 2-day Coaching in Running Fitness The senior courses are new and specifically designed for endurance running. Costs £370 for the 2-day and £90 for the 1-day courses. The defined structure for coaching at Clayton was agreed as: 1 – Junior coach; 3 – Senior coaches. To be reviewed after 12 months in terms of the value to members and the level of coaching staff per member.

• Lancs Fell Championship The Pendle Fell Race in April hosted the Lancs Fell Championships, however the results for teams could not be resolved on the day so Richard Taylor joined the meeting to present prizes and share his thoughts for Lancs athletics. Prize awarded to Dave E for 1 st Lancs Vet, and Clayton for 1 st team of 4 men and 2 ladies. The intent is to expand the awards at next years fell championship to more team categories. For the Lancs XC it is always down on numbers compared to the MLXC races e.g. Hyndburn XC. Thoughts to encourage more entries include awarding extended team medals, T-shirts, vets awards and overall club award, also use of on-line entries.

Richard was keen on building more ties between the clubs… thoughts on combined relay teams or links to coaching please. Also a plea for a Clayton representative on the Lancs AA Committee, Kath Brady had been a rep for some time. Paul Thompson has been selected for the Lancs inter-counties fell team.

• Point of note for relays that runners who cannot compete need to contact the captains as soon as possible to allow arrangements for replacements.

• Hameldon race funds have provided £100 for juniors and £50 towards Mountain Rescue.

• Frank Goss wishes to support the juniors and it was suggested provision of funds for the medals.

• Andy Brown won the Pendle Cloughs fell race in a record time.

Ladies Fell News

Calderdale Way Relay 2011 Thanks to all the ladies who ran in the relay - those who were always running, those who agreed to run at the last minute, and those who were ill and really shouldn't have been running.

When the race was rescheduled for May I just thought how nice it would be to see the area in spring. In December, I had had no trouble finding two Ladies’ teams, but everybody had different plans for May – Pendle Cloughs race, holidays, family occasions, training for long distance challenges etc., etc. Luckily, several people took pity on me and agreed to run at short notice, so we still managed to get two teams out.

The start was a different place in the light and the rain had stopped by the time the runners set off at 8 o’clock from Clay House. Jean Brown and Katie Trickett for the A team, and Jean Rawlinson and Dawn Richards for the B, set off up the steep grass through the park to join the Calderdale Way. (I’m glad we didn’t have that start when I did Leg 1 many years ago.) Unfortunately, Katie had been racing on the track the day before and the tough ten miles was just a bit too much for her legs, so the A team were slower than they had hoped and both teams set off on Leg 2 in the mass start.

A team runners, Lorraine Slater and Alison Athroll, and Linda Bostock and Vicki Pratt for the B, ran well but didn’t manage to get in before the Leg 3 mass start. In fact, all day there seemed to be more teams than usual in the mass starts.

Just a minute separated Leg 3 A team runners Tracy and Josie from the B team – Lisa Richardson, just back from injury, and 16 year old Helena Leathley in her first Calderdale Way relay. Both teams came in before the cut off time. Wendy Dodds and Gayle Whittaker, meeting for the first time at Blackshaw Head, ran Leg 4 for the A team, with me and Sarah Clarke doing synchronised running for the B. We still had time to appreciate the bluebells in the woods and the lack of bog underfoot.

The Leg 5 mass start had set off some time before we arrived. Dany and Debbie Wilson had an excellent run, followed by Irene Roche and newcomer Rachel Robinson.

Anna, still suffering from food poisoning, and Donna Riley ran Leg 6 for the A team with Jane Murphy and Juliet Horrocks for the B. Juliet has been concentrating on her cycling this year, but in a rash moment agreed to run Leg 6. She intended to take it easy, but the sight of several ladies’ pairs ahead near the end was too much for her, and her competitive nature took over. Unfortunately, her calves were so sore afterwards that she was hardly able to walk, but she still managed to complete the 112 mile Etapes du Dales the following week in horrendous weather.

The A team finished 5 th in 8.09.05, half an hour behind Ladies’ winners, Holmfirth. The B team were 10 th in 8.52.23.

Mearley Clough The second race in the English champs was our own Mearley Clough from Worston. After a wet start the weather improved and, although it was very windy, the rain held off for the actual race. Ten Clayton ladies ran. Alison Dugdale was first Clayton home, followed closely by Wendy (1 st V55 & 1 st V60) and Jean Brown. They were our ladies’ team and our lady vets team. In such a short race we were unable to repeat our success from Long Mynd, and by my reckoning we were 3 rd Lady Vets team, well behind Ilkley and just a point behind Wharfedale. We just hang on to 1 st place overall. The next two races are Duddon on 4 th June and Loughrigg & Silver Howe on 26 th June. See you there. Katy Thompson

Date Time Venue 7, 14, 21, 28 June 7.00pm Village Square, Worsthorne 5, 12,19, 26 July 7.00pm Calf’s Head Hotel, Worston 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 7.00pm Peel Park Hotel, Accrington August 6, 13, 20, 27, 6.30pm Bridge Inn, Plough Inn, September Barrowford Oswaldtwistle

Tuesday Fell Training

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 yourself 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.
