Oct 18 ~ Results
from Pattingham have now been published, though there are a number of
errors amongst them. Worst of these is the complete omission of
ELLIE HOOPER, whose time would have put her in as third F50. We
have added her in, pushing everyone else down one place at the moment.

being shown as Telford Harriers (hands off, they're ours) and two
ladies shown as Amazing Feet RC, who are not members. We have covered
everything hopefully and details are on the RESULTS page |

definitely coming, than for all 94 club members |
|
Oct 17 ~ Numbers
for the Quiz & Curry night currently stand at 48 - to ensure we have
enough food, can you please let JANE PYE know that you are coming if
