This
is a new initiative started by the club. We made a profit from the Christmas
Party and will distribute the proceeds over the year by giving £25 of
vouchers to a member of the month.
The
member of the month will be decided by the committee at the monthly meeting.
The
member of the month can be for pretty much any reason, an excellent personal
performance, going the extra mile to help out, making you feel better on a
training run when you were feeling like you could just stop. Anything goes.
If you have somebody you’d like to nominate for a member of the month see
a member of the committee and put your nomination forward or email secretary@westburyharriers.co.uk.
The committee meets on the first Friday of every month.
The
April member of the month is…………
Nick
Elliot for providing such good support
to the girls’ training group.
Once
again the Westbury Harriers Committee have agreed to support a team for this
year's Welsh Castles Relay. This event has been a great success over
the past few years with a mix of runners and a real team spirit.
This year the event will be taking place the weekend of 13th and 14th June. For
those that are unfamiliar with Welsh Castles it is a series of 20 races
from North to South Wales, starting
and finishing in the vicinity of a Welsh Castle! 10
legs are ran on Saturday and 10 on Sunday including the notorious mountain
legs which are particularly challenging, however the majority of legs are
of the hilly variety with the occasional flat and fast leg scattered between
them. There is a strict cut off time imposed for each leg.
The team will travel up to North Wales on Friday afternoon 12th June in
the minibus (although some cars follow) and will return Sunday afternoon
after the prize giving in Cardiff. The team stay in bunk houses on
Friday and Saturday night. Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be
provided over the weekend and we eat in the pub on Saturday night. The
cost of the weekend is £55 per runner. There are plenty of
photographs of previous events on facebook and on the Westbury Harriers
website. If you are interested please contact Jane Thornton at
the club or via minutes.secretary@westburyharriers.co.uk
or 07761943927.
AGM
This
year’s AGM will take place on Monday 27th
April at Coombe Dingle. A buffet will be provided.

Welcome
to the club!
A
full list of fixtures is available on the website.
The
races that have counted towards the table below are; Victoria Park 4, Bridge
Inn Winter Series, Gloucester 10, Gloucester 20, Christmas Cracker, Stroud
Half Marathon, Ironwood Challenge, Hogweed Hilly Half, Gwent League.
As
the Weston Prom runs are still in progress, these points have not been
included. See below for the current times or positions to beat in the
series.
The
first male home in any race is awarded 35 points, 2nd 34 points
etc., all the way down to 10 points for 25th place. If there are
more than 25 male runners in a race they will also score 10 points.
The
first female home in any race is awarded 25 points, 2nd 24 points
etc., all the way down to 10 points for 15th place. If there are
more than 15 female runners in a race they will also score 10 points.
As
for last year the best 8 results will count. The difference this year is
that if somebody who runs 7 races has more points than somebody who’s run
8 races, they win. So it’s your total points from (up to) eight best
performances.
