Although we will miss her hugely, this is a great opportunity and we wish her much success in her new career. Lucy’s progress in her running since she joined the club has been staggering and an inspiration to us all. Thank you for your contribution to the club Lucy, particularly with the cross-countries and the South Downs Relay. Over the last few months, there have been a few significant changes to the committee. As Ruth now concentrates on her studies and juggling various things in her life, she has stepped down from the committee and from being newsletter editor. A massive thank you, Ruth for your many long hours of effort, which have provided us with the Liss Runners newsletter for the last few years. In her place, David Robbins has enthusiastically taken on the role of newsletter editor, this being his first one, so please send all future articles to him. Thank you David! This means that his previous role as membership secretary has now been passed over very efficiently to Sarah Wade. Thank you Sarah for taking on this crucial job. Sarah at- tends both Wednesday and Thursday training sessions, so is the ideal person! Wednesday Training: It has been good to see so many people out for Wednesday and Thursday training sessions and I would like to welcome all the new members we have recruited recently. For the last few Wednesday’s, Pete Turrell has been at the St. Patrick’s estate early to give advice on technique before the main session starts. These sessions have proved very popular and Pete has very kindly offered to keep doing them whilst there is sufficient interest. Do pop along – I have learnt a lot! Handicap Series: The summer handicap series came to an end in September with Stu Lavalette winning the last race on September 14th. Congratulations to Becky Hazlett, the overall winner of the series!! Around 30 of us enjoyed a well deserved curry following the last race. If anyone would like to help out in taking the timings on the night, please let me know as it would be nice to give the usual organisers a chance to run the races next year. It is very easy!! A big thank you to Dave Auger, Derek and Anne Carty in ensuring that all the races ran so smoothly. The full Handicap series results are included later in the Newsletter on page 10. 3 Recent Races: There have been various races in the last few months where Liss Runners have produced a great turn-out. The impressive list of results can be seen on the results page, but I would particularly like to congratulate Jan Farmer on gaining a silver medal, coming 2nd in her age group at the World Duathlon Champs! Wow! Also Sarah Wade and Rose Lewis competed in the mad race up the Spinnaker Tower, Pete Turrell came first in the Alton Downland challenge recently and our ladies came first team in the Butser challenge. Well done to all our race enthusiasts! Cross Country Season: The Today’s Runner league is soon to start, with the first race at the Queen Elizabeth Country Park on November 13th. It would be great to see a mass of red shirts at this race to start the season now we have so many members in the club. You will be around like minded runners of the same ability as our club. The distances are around 4-5 miles. A fun morning out and it is great to feel part of a team. Come and give it a go!! See the web site for more details. And Finally …. A few modern twists to the club: Tom and Will are working hard on giving the web site a new look and amongst other things, you will soon be able to view the newsletter on the web site. Emma Bramley is kindly setting up a Liss Runners facebook, which is almost up and running. Watch this space! We have been given two club places for the London Marathon 2012. See the article later about how to put your name forward for one of these places. Tom is once again organising a Boxing Day Hash, so it would be great to see as many people as possible supporting this, a great way to shake off the Christmas dinner! An important date for your diary: On February 19th we will be hosting one of the Today's Runner cross country races. It is called the "Rogate Common" race on the cross country dates page later in the newsletter. For this race we will need people to volunteer to be marshals. Please check the date now and let Tom know if you are available to help, or sign up your name ASAP on the list in the Triangle. Hopefully more than enough people will sign up to marshal, enabling the team captains to then also put a team of runners together for the race as well.
