Skipton AC News October 2007

 

Our heartfelt condolences to the Hunn family, our thoughts are with you

News_____________________________________________________

Welcome to new members: William Peryer, Edward Newbold, William Smith & Eileen Boothman

Congratulations on excellent marathon performances by Triss Kenny 3.14 in Berlin and Claire Pearson 3.50 at Loch Ness

Well done indeed to Claire Lilley 7th overall in the England team helping them to gold in the U18 Home Nations junior fell championships in Abergavenney.

After last year’s horrendous weather which lead to he course being shortened, the Great Whernside Fell Race was blessed with a superb day for this British and English FRA Championship counter. In spite of clashes with Langdale and the Ian Hodgson relay next day 246 runners set off – including Alan Stockdale the lone Skipton AC vest. Alan’s position and time? Please, he pleads, it’s the taking part that counts! Well done Alan and thanks for the report

Richard B set off as he intends to continue with an excellent run in the first West Yorks XC

Well done at Bowland boys, beaten by the 4th official (just like England’s rugby team!)
