 Reminder Round-the-Park
Tuesday 4th September Harmondsworth Moor start 12:30 #
The event starts near the wooden bridge beyond the main car park.
It is a two lap course and is approximately three miles in length, so
just a bit shorter than five km. This is a fun event and ALL levels of
runners/joggers are welcomed. If you are not quite up to the full
course you can do it as a one lap, two mile run.
If you think you can make it then please let me know, although
you won’t be turned away if you just turn up! Any questions, please ask.
And bring a friend! Get to the start ready for a 12:30 off.
Neil
Frediani
The course shown is from last year but is likely to be the same for
this.

 The highlight this week was the gathering at Bedfont Lakes to celebrate Trish
McCabe’s 250th run with a turnout of at least a dozen past and current members
and several more helping with the run or the party afterwards {picture from
Facebook}. It was just
a joyous morning in the sunshine.
The restless tourist drive continued with Ian Cunningham (21:04) and Janet Cunningham
(28:07) going to the south coast and trying Lancing Beach Green just one week
after its inaugural. Sarah Gordon (31:28) went to Dishley, Loughborough
which started just a few weeks ago after years in the planning.
Roderick Hoffman (29:14) returned to Banbury where he had been once before to
be on hand to congratulate his friend Gregory Bailey (25:08) on not only his
250th parkrun but also his perfect sequence of 250 different parkruns.
That is a hard act to follow! Gregory currently runs in the MV50-54 group
and he ran his pb of 21:34 at Southampton in 2016, his home club being Wakefield
District Harriers.
Benita (32:25) and John Scaife (32:26) were at Livonia (Michigan, USA) for
the first time. The parkrun there has been going for six years and the
turnout of 78 runners was fairly typical for this time of year.
Lesley Chamberlin (25:59) achieved a course pb and set a new female club
record at Milton Keynes. Paul Timms (23:48) scored a pb on his 9th run at
Cirencester.

PACER 1st across the line (WINS !) at Black Park last Saturday !
I was delighted to have our first 18min pacer last Saturday 1 September.
Chris Bradfield, who despite taking a wrong turn briefly still managed to do his
'job' and come in just a couple of seconds over target, taking first place and
"beating" the other 667 runners. Chris is a very accomplished runner and
ran nearly the whole distance on instinct with only a couple of glances at his
watch – something again to prompt developing ‘instinctive pacing’ !! He is
hoping to come back again next month, and I suspect when the word gets round,
that there will be a lot of sub-18 hopefuls on his tail !
As a reminder, the BP precision pacer squad are on duty first Saturday of
each month, now covering every minute fro 18-40 plus run/walk. BP is one of the
most scenic parkruns around, it’s a 1-lap fast course, and being alongside
Pinewood Studios there are often film sets that you may just find yourself part
of while running - make sure you visit and put in your diary that next pacer day
is 6 October #PB@BP
Joe Nolan
The popularity of the pacer week is demonstrated by the attendance last
Saturday at Black Park - not a record but the largest week-on-week increase of
any UK parkrun by 191 from 477 to 668.
The Hoffman Club
 The
photo is from the first serious gathering of "Hoffman Club" members at Banbury
on Saturday. Eight people who are linked by their freak parkrun record of having
attended fifty different parkrun venues on their first fifty parkruns. The club
was named by others as the Hoffman Club after me, since I was the first to
achieve 50 in 50. I'm in the sweaty yellow top and to my left is Gregory Bailey
who on Saturday was the first to achieve "The Full Bailey" of 250 in 250. Glenn
Barden on the left of the picture achieved 100 in 100 on Saturday - and was
disappointed to finish third proving that we are not all middle-of-the-pack
runners. Far right is Sherry (Barbara) Budin who had become the 20th
member of the club just the previous week. The photograph was taken by
Chris Dalton who could have joined the club at Banbury but choose to delay his
50th in 50 until next Saturday at Valentines where he will also be completing
his alphabet. Chris is clearly mad enough to join us.

News from Tom (and a political comment from the editor)

I think you are aware that Woking AC has been kicked out of
the Sheerwater track after 60 years, myself been there 49years
in Nov., so a little sad but with many happy memories for me*.
Today 2nd Sept. was our annual YA meeting also the final meeting
so the club organised a few T&F events for older athletes that
Kay Trinder/Jacqui Musselwhite contested.
We can use the track for one more week then we start
training at our new stadium (almost a replica of Walton) during
Sept. That is a new senior school too. The football
pitches/gym/track are all owned by FREEDOM leisure so is open to
public. WAC will be allowed to train Tues./Thurs.
evenings free, any other time we pay. The School is called Hoebridge, the rest is under the name of The Sports Box.
Tom Rowley
* The Sheerwater Track is
being redeveloped by Woking Borough Council along with the whole
of the recreation ground and existing affordable dwellings.
The new development will include 522 new dwellings to be sold on
the open market, there will be just 13 additional "affordable
dwellings". The arguments by the Council for bulldozing
the track and recreation ground is to be consistent with "the
ambitions to improve health and well being within Sheerwater
following consultation on the recreational needs of the area and
its residents". Locals need not be upset by the loss of
green space - both the golf courses to the north and south of
Sheerwater are unaffected by the scheme.
