Vet’s League is now over for the year, but bear it in mind for four fun evenings next summer. In the meantime, let’s have a big turnout for our last inter-club track meet of the year, the Rosenheim League at Walton on Wednesday. See you there? (see below)
Steve Hillier
A second successive low turnout of men took part in the 4th of this season’s five Rosenheim meetings - but still enough for a men's relay team.
Thanks to all who turned out.
Hopefully we can finish the season like we did last year with a good turnout at Walton THIS Wednesday evening. It would be great to see some newcomers and you can take part as a non-scorer if you just want to experience track racing/jumping/throwing without the pressure. The weather looks great for a track meeting!
The events are as follows: {Club(s) responsible for officiating field events}
Neil Frediani
We had been planning to get together in Ruislip but unfortunately Harry Wild is unable to host us on that date due to an unexpected priority engagement. We will arrange to meet up in Ruislip another month instead.
But we have the date in the diary so we may as well meet up. I've created a Facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/504061883734981/ so please sign-up and indicate your venue suggestions.
Or reply to me by email:

You may have noticed that we've stopped mentioning the Great City Race due tomorrow. That is because we've got enough helpers for the event and refreshments afterwards! Report next digest.
Our final London Marathon related marshalling event of the year takes place on Sunday 4th August. Thank you to everyone who has already committed to helping on the day, but we still need more volunteers to help operate the crossing.
As usual, we will be situated at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. switching spectators from one side of the course to the other, allowing the race to flow freely. It's definitely the best spectator experience on the course!
Please can you consider whether you can give up all or part of the day? Let me know so we can get you the best view in the house.
Thanks,

This week’s report starts with a stark warning – the parkrun which has proved the most popular with our members over the years (Bedfont Lakes) has been cancelled on 20th July (for one week only) as there is a Joint Services Rally taking place. The recently started run at Hanworth Airpark is not far away and at the moment is not overcrowded.
Roderick Hoffman (28:25) put in a rare appearance at his home run at Northala Fields and learned later that two of his club records around the country had been bettered. Adrian Haines (18:45) led the way at Worthing with a time that puts him at 17th out of over 600 in his age group all-time list there. Piers Keenleyside (28:37) set a new mark at Clumber Park near Worksop in Nottinghamshire.
Neil Frediani (29:01) visited Penrhyn in North Wales to bring up a personal half century of different parkruns. Barry Walters (22:03) was our first member to try the newish run at Blyth Links in Northumberland. Over the last few weeks the club’s total has moved on from 500 to 510.
Chris Kelly (21:19) and Murray Hogge (21:44) who have a combined total of over 700 runs at Reading were part of a record turnout of 526 there this week. More runners are discovering the pleasures of the grassy Wormwood Scrubs parkrun on warm summer mornings. This week saw a record attendance of 172 including over 40 who had never been there before.

I ran the Snowdonia Trail marathon again yesterday for the 3rd time. Struggled a bit up the 'hill' between mile 19 and 21 but the views were good again this year. With my Garmin watch running out of battery and fairly sure I was on for a PW for the course I stopped for tea and cake (chocolate brownie) on the way down in a handy mountain tea shop. The rest did me good and I picked up the pace again for the last couple of miles overtaking many of those who passed me while I was drinking my tea! Finished in 7:42:50 - marathon #161.

Ed: Was it Pauline Shore, dressed as a bunny rabbit, who needed refreshment in the London Marathon so diverted into a pub on the course and helped herself to a stranger's beer? "You'll never believe what just happened", probably said his mates when he returned from the loo.
