Sharon Houghton Road rankings Press Reports From the Editor Welcome to the April edition, and thank you to Sharon Houghton, Julie Clayton and Jenna Wheatman for their contribution. After months of weather that required some additional determination to get out and train, I think most club members will be looking forward to the traditional spring road races and the start of the Track and Field season. I hope that our fell and off road specialists, who seemingly revelled in the mud and adverse weather will cope with the warmer and hopefully at least drier weather! The club seniors who ran the London Marathon and got sunburnt whilst doing so, must have had mixed feelings about the return of the sun! I hope everyone has a good summer at whatever their favourite discipline is. Mick Thompson 01723 864442 [email protected] Minutes of Annual General Meeting Held on April 19, 2012 at Scarborough Rugby Club Meeting opened at 8.30pm 26 members were in attendance.

Chris Clayton delivered the Chairman’s report - (see appended pages) Tony Tomaszewicz delivered the finance report.

The proposal was unanimously accepted by vote of the members present.

Chairman’s Report – 2012 From: The Chairman - Scarborough AC. 2012 – Another very good year for the club - more fantastic performances by our club members both young and senior. We still have a healthy number of members and quite a few new ones. Overall membership has decreased slightly at 206 members, 52 juniors and 154 seniors – juniors have shown a small increase in numbers due to Pickering AC merging. Thanks to all of those people and club athletes that volunteer their time and effort to keep the club running – first of all the committee. President – John Watson – keeps the committee advised on matters and welcomes new members. Secretary - Simon Valente. Treasurer - Tony Tomaszewicz Chairman - Chris Clayton Vice-Chair – Harry Forkin Chris Wade – Junior SPORTSHALL Julie Clayton – Membership secretary and Social sec. Ralph Broadley – Committee &10k race committee organisation. Sharon Houghton – Committee & Junior SPORTSHALL Shaun Tymon – Committee member Standing down this year from the committee, but remaining Child protection officer: Jo Monty Special thanks must also go to all those volunteers and helpers that we couldn’t manage without or even hold club evenings: All the junior coaches - endurance Ian Johnson, Mike Willis, Diane Herrington, Sue Louth. Track and Field coaches, - Jenna Wheatman, Chris Wade, Sharon Houghton, Sue Lawal & Vickie Lockey, Sarah Scarborough & Tom Gillon. Officials and also those that organise and transport juniors all over: Dave Parke & John Watson for running the very popular club handicaps and fell running organisation, albeit the winter handicap suffered with the bad weather. Mick Thompson – Press Officer and XC co-ordinator. Works tirelessly to produce numerous race reports and the monthly athletics magazine. There are also all the athletes that help out with marshalling at events such as our 10k race, race for life, handicaps and others. Athlete achievements: Some fantastic achievements over the year by club athletes. We do very well at most veteran categories in Endurance and Fell running, Neil Scruton, Mick Thompson, Sue Haslam to name but a few. Some great performances by the younger athlete’s team of Bronwen Owen, Louise Taylor, Leah Ogden and Sarah Ogden deserve a special mention, as well as Jack Robertson, Bobby Scarborough and Kawser Ahmed. Junior Sportshall, Junior and Senior Track and Field. Chris Wade, Sharon Houghton, Sue Lawal & Vickie Lockey who all run the junior session and Jenna Wheatman who has run the core training for seniors. We’ve had a good turn out in T&F in both juniors and seniors, and hopefully this will continue this year and we’ll get a lot more young athletes out at the YAL and other Track and Field events. Volunteers and extra coaches. The club is always looking for extra volunteers to help with juniors, especially females to ensure the club can comply with new Child Protection policies. If you feel that you could help with looking after the juniors or seniors then please contact any of the current junior coaches. So, what for the future? We’ve got to keep the good links with the juniors and encourage more of them to take up and keep doing sport and to join SAC We also need to ensure that we continue to encourage and cater for members at all levels, Harry, Tony and John do a great job at Senior nights, and there are discussions on how we might have a faster group on an evening. Continue to host our seafront 10k, McCain have pledged to support us again this year and we will be busy organising it for Oct. Your support and help will be much appreciated again!! Finally before we discuss the two proposals for the AGM – can I just say that at the end of the day it is your club – the hard core amongst you (30 or 40) that turn up to most sessions, seniors and juniors - you are the heart of the club. Without you the club would not exist. Give us your feedback – chat to any committee member at any time - if you have suggestions please let us know. Chris Clayton. Chairman – Scarborough AC.

  • Read 334 Inspiring Stories
    Inspiring stories from AudioFuel customers Since I've been an audiofuel customer, running has helped me deal with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even when I feel low, tired and like I don't want to carry on, listening to audiofuel tracks helps to give me the motivation I need to get out and run. When I run, it helps improve my mood and this in turn helps me to live life to its fullest. ______________________ I lost 3 stone after running to audio fuel pyramid 200 and went on to complete a half marathon having only trained for 10 weeks ! My proudest moment was when I planned to go out for a 3 mile run, got lost and managed to run 5 miles! My first distance larger than 3 miles, and I kept at the same pace. I was so proud of myself! ______________________ Inspiration from Team AudioFuel Page 1 of 79 I'm 62 and have been exercising routinely for decades. However I amped it up with the interval training and not only did I peel off a few pounds, but my energy is great! I love intervals and so does my dog. (I also out ran my 37 year old son, and it inspired him to amp it up too!) ______________________ Having come back from 8 months of injury and operations, all my running has been done to audiofuel, without it I don't think I would be back running 4 times per week. The speed session is slower but I can see improvement, the long runs painfully slow.

    SPORTS MONDAY, APRIL 14, 2014 Kenyans dominate as Farah toils in London LONDON: World record-holder Wilson Kipsang won the men’s London Marathon in a course record two hours, four minutes and 29 seconds yesterday as Britain’s Mo Farah found life tough on his debut over the distance. Kipsang’s smashed the previous London record of 2hr 04min 40sec set by fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai in 2011. It was a second London victory for Kipsang, the 2012 champion, who outpaced compatriot Stanley Biwatt in the finishing straight. Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia, last year’s winner was third, and Ayele Abshero of Ethiopia was fourth. Kenya celebrated a race double as Edna Kiplagat, runner-up for the past two years in London, won the women’s event. In the men’s race Kipsang and Biwott surged away from a leading group of eight after some two-thirds of the way round the 26.2 mile (42.2 kilometre) course. The two Kenyans were all but inseparable until, with just over a mile left, Kipsang broke his compatriot’s resolve with a finishing burst. KUWAIT: The KBC Football League final match is scheduled on Friday April 18, 2014 between Kuwait Finance House and Gulf Bank. The match kicks off at 7:30 pm at the FARAH VOWS RETURN Sadaqa wa Al-Salam (Friendship and Peace Stadium) at the Kazma Sports Club. “It’s really great to win the London Marathon Abdulaziz Al-Zair, head of the sports committee at the Kuwait Banks Club, urged again,” said Kipsang. “It was around 31km that I banking sector employee to attend the match.
