A good club turn out for Brian's birthday bash last week - and we weren't just there for the sausage sandwiches. {Ed: I've had no write-up for the event held beforehand so no one will get to hear how I out-sprinted John Coffey across the far side of the field} First Cross Countries of the season at Lightwater Country Park on Saturday 19th OctoberAll runners welcome - these are team events so that even the team member finishing in last points scoring position contributes to the team's total achievement. Ladies starts at 12:00 - details from Clara Halket Mens starts at 15:00 - details from Gary Rushmer Gary says "Let's start the season with a good turnout. Good training for a spring marathon as well. Trust me" London Marathon Entries - The results of the entry ballot are in...Many of you may have been looking forward to pounding the streets of London next Spring. Should your application to run in the London Marathon have been unsuccessful, there might still be a chance...... The BA Athletics Club provides the London Marathon with over one hundred marshals and in return they provide us with some additional places that we can allocate to our members. Therefore we have a limited number of places to allocate. The decision as to who will be allocated places will be taken by the BA Athletics Club committee and will take into account the following criteria. These are listed roughly in priority order but note that other criteria and information may be taken into account when the decision is made:
If you want to be considered for a place, think about which of those categories apply to you and then contact me on stevehillier@msn.com Anyone offered and accepting a club space will be expected to pay the normal entry fee for the Marathon and to provide a minimum of two marshals to assist with the 2014 London Marathon. The marshalling work required will be described nearer the time. Steve Hillier Berlin Marathon Results
It looks like a win for Wilson over Joe but can we be sure Wilson did the second lap? Magic Mile Lunchtime Thursday 3rd October on the Bath Road HeathrowDon't forget the next Magic Mile is coming up next Thursday 3rd October. The event will start at 12:45 by the Newport Road Junction --> http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=507119&y=176891&z=110&sv=507119,176891&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=638&ax=507119&ay=176891&lm=0 Route ( http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6061575 ) then heads back towards Waterside on the bath road, stopping just before the Thistle hotel. Its a self timed event, just turn up on the day. Paul Knechtl Club family parkrun results and stats for 28th September 2013Not enough space in the digest for a table this week but full details are in Steve's parkrun stats sheets. Twelve family members ran at seven different parkruns. Roderick knocked 286 seconds off his time at Havant but it had been a very slow time when previously run last December. Gary Rushmer got the fastest time with 20:50 at Bedfont Lakes. Also at Bedfont Neil Frediani achieved a parkrun PB of 24:46 whilst at Guildford Monica Alonso was joined by Helen Smith making a return to parkrun - training for WARR perhaps. Our fastest lady was Kerstin Luksch at Gunnersbury who finished in 25:50 (the same time as Roderick) whilst warming up for the Ealing Half the next day. Steve Newell ran at Osterley - his 21st different parkrun venue. Steve Newell has already earned his 100 shirt but hopes to be presented with it at Gunnersbury on 5th October. That event will also be the 100th run of Gunnersbury so could be a good one to add to your personal diaries. Ealing Half Marathon Results 29th September 2013Chip times:

Club In-house Event for October - Equinox 5k October 2nd - reminderJust a warning to everyone that, with the evenings drawing in, a prompt start will be needed on 2nd October (and the starting line is near the M4/A312 junction, not at the Concorde Club). The course is mainly off road but along well defined paths. Based on trying to get everyone to the finish at around 6.40 p.m. the wave start times will be:
Sunset is due at 6.35 p.m. with civil twilight officially ending at 7.08 p.m. Fish and chips will be served at 8 p.m. To assist the starters and the kitchen please send your expected time for 5km to steve-newell@blueyonder.co.uk by 1st October (and recent parkrun times will be checked!). Steve Newell Final Track & Field Grand Prix resultsHi Everyone, The final Grand Prix of the season took place at Uxbridge track on Monday 23rd September. 100m & Long Jump were the events with 4 athletes up for the challenge. After quite a long warm up time before the 100m, Steve Hillier took his first step on the start of the sprint and promptly twisted a calf muscle (he said ouch!!).
Well done to Gary Jn for a double win & well done to Tony for coming back after a hamstring injury. That’s it for the track season this year, so hopefully see you all next season. Regards Eddie Giles BA Clubs AGM Thursday 25th September - Key highlights bar one
