I was most puzzled to see that our Social Manager is about to defy the laws of physics next month. At the 'Not Cracker' social run, he apparently will be cloning himself and running twice? At the same time? I guess its not only his better half who has been guzzling the sherry!

So we had gale force winds, a high tide, switching on of the town Xmas lights, our normal race registration room closed and a building site for a race course. Despite all of the things stacked up against us we still had 223 hardy runners (and almost as many race marshals) brave the conditions and complete the November Prom race. Well done to all the runners and a HUGE thankyou to everyone who helped with the organisation last night. I dont think a prom race has ever seen so many yellow marshals vests and the registration team did another great job in tight circumstances.

Thank you for taking the time in posting a message on this subject. Each of our training groups are watched over by endorsed coaches and they endeavour to oversee the safety and welfare of both the runners and other members of the public. This sometime requires runners to run along the sides of the road to avoid causing problems to other pedestrians using the pavement. During these occasions we pay extra attention to other road traffic so not to cause any additional issues to both us and the traffic. We will make sure that the comments you have raised are reported to appropriate people and relayed throughout the club.

Sorry, I do apologise for the poor spelling and grammar. Didn't realise that this was the Cambridge English examination board, thought it was just the Weston Athletic's message board. Though this doesn't get away from the fact that people standing in the road on blind bends are half wits.

I would like to thank everyone who has come forward already to volunteer to help with The Cracker race on 13th December 2009. This is the one race in the year when we ask all club members to help and no club members run (unless they carry out an extreme task in return!)
As you can imagine this year is going to be a challenge with all the sea defence work and we have a new course too, so we need as many volunteers as possible.
If you haven't yet contacted me, to 'volunteer', there are still many tasks that need to be carried out, just let me know the extent of your availability - All stripping tasks have now been taken, so don't be shy!

As Prom Race Director and on behalf of the Prom Race Committee can I thank all those who helped at last nights race. The challenges we face with the ongoing sea front works coupled with the change of HQ location did not make for an easy to manage race and the support we received especially from the marshals along the sea front and the HQ team meant that we had a safe and enjoyable race. Thanks also to our IT team for getting the results out and published so quickly. Well done and only 5 weeks to the next one!.

GB's very own Chrissie Wellington is hot favourite to win the womens event for a third time, possibly in a record time.
Starting at 6pm this could well result in a long night infront of the pc. There Victor, I've got my excuse in already for a poor show at the Muddle !

Thanks to everyone for helping out last night. The course was certainly more challenging than normal, but I'm sure it helped with more marshal's and of course our hairy cheerleaders down at the Tropicana. I'll put up next month's volunteer list nearer to the date. If anybody is not running it really helps if you can marshal/help in the Pavillion bar to free up people who do want to run.
p.s. Don't forget to volunteer for the Cracker, we've still got lots of slots to fill.

Yes, as of Tuesday the Tuesday night training will be on the Beach. We will meet at Hutton Moor at 19:00 in the Bar area and then run down to the beach.

Please can someone advise if Tuesday night training has moved back down to the beach yet? After my pathetic effort last night it would appear I need to up my training again :o(

A big thank you to all the marshals and the organiser on the Prom last evening. You did a great job protecting us from the obstacles and separating us from the masses.

I'm thinking of doing a trial run of the Burnham half route on Sunday. Anyone interested?

Andy D,
I told you I'd be running from the Swan this Sunday - I lied. Forgot I'm off up Snowdon instead (not running up it). Sorry, I think Victor might be up for it though. Cheers.

Can I just remind everybody that marshal's are meeting by the finish area at 7pm to collect bibs and to find out where you will be standing. The course is tricky tonight due to the prom works, so we need 'all hands on deck'. Any extra volunteer marshals are very welcome. A full volunteer list is available on the welcome page (a few days ago). I will be in the Pavillion tonight by the door if anybody is not sure of their role. See you all later.

Just to dispel any query the Burnham half is NOT full and still has many places left. The organisers would welcome as many entries as possible from WAC and would ask that they be sent early please.

Will hopefully be at the Manor tonight and am probably doing Chippenham half on Sunday. I'm working weekends but have the next 3 Mondays off so aim to do long runs in the mornings, would be nice to go to Rowberrow for 3hr run sometime too.

Are you getting any long and grizzly runs in over the next week or so? Can probably fit in timewise with you. Am getting bored with my own company! (Cue jokes).

I would rather serve up home made disaster than cheat like Victor!
My shorbread is actually ok, my victoria sponge is no longer in the form of a sandwhich as only one layer successfully made it out of the tin and my marmalade squares are slightly undercooked due to Victor needing the oven to cook his tea!!!
Not to worry though claudines delights are going to be great.

Domestic harmony has been shattered, her indoors busy preparing cakes for tomorrow night. Things seem to have gone wrong judging by the number of expletives that i have heard whilst cowering in the garage. Victoria sandwich is no more, marmalade cake is
not cooked and the ******g shortbread is burnt. Only the very brave or foolhardy should attend the social..

Planning on running from Swan 8.30 Sunday. I'll only do about 10 miles, but if anyone wants to go further then we can split at the trig or similar. Cool.

Rich Court,
If you're still up for running with me on the monday before the Prom race as a 'tune-up' session, that's next monday, I'll be at hutton moor 7pm with the usual crowd. We can warm up with them then go off doing short reps along the prom. Well done with your Bristol result. Nice.

Make sure you purchase a copy of 220 magazine for October ( or simply read it in WH Smith ! ). Article featuring Kit Stokes as a leading age group athlete competing at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships complete with a nice selection of colour photos. I've read the proof and unfortunately there is no mention of Victor ?

**** THURSDAY SOCIAL RUN **** THE CROWN INN, CHURCHILL
This weeks social is from the CROWN INN at Churchill (Just up the side road by the Nelsons Arms). I will be leading the run, as the Haywards are suffering from Man Flu and injuries, but following their planned route.
Can I ask that you are all ready for a PROMPT 7PM START as light is fading and fast and we have a steady, undulating, off road, 6m run to cover. A Head-torch or lightweight torch may be useful especially for inspecting the cakes?!
See you there.

PS. The run should be not too challenging for those running a HM at the weekend.

I am holding volunteer lists for 9 PROM RUNS, THE CRACKER, THE MENDIP MUDDLE AND THE HANGOVER.
PROM: We need 20 volunteers for each prom run. Some of the roles will enable you to also run the race. Some of the roles will need to be carried out during the race. We would like everyone in the club to volunteer to help on at least one race in the season. Anybody who is aiming to get a certificate by completing all the races will be awarded if they complete 8 races and act as a volunteer for a 9th race.We would like regular Prom Run helpers to also come forward, so that we know you are still available.
Cracker: This years Cracker is on 13th December. As in previous years, no members of the club are allowed to enter the race due to the numbers of volunteers required. Please could you let me know how you would like to volunteer, before, during, after, all day? I have also got last years list, so if you would like the same role as last year let me know. Any new members, just shout and I'll let you know the roles that need to be fulfilled on the day. (Be aware we only need 15 strippers and I have names on the list already, so be quick!!!)
Muddle: Bryan has been canvassing for volunteers for a few weeks, if anybody would still like to volunteer, you can let me know when responding for the above and I'll let Bryan know.
Hangover: Jim Wotton has started to look for help, if anybody would like to volunteer, you can let me know when responding for the above and I'll pass on your details direct to Jim.
Thank you very much for your support. This is a very busy time of year for our club races, your support is needed and very much appreciated. It is always easier if people come forward as it saves chasing around nearer to the race day.

Hi Mars.... Think I got the gist of your message but a little hard as I think in some places you went into Polish or something. Ever since you confided in me that you didn't really have any friends I agreed that I would be you friend so don't try and kid me that you have anyone else to help you out, by the way that time I nearly knocked you off your bike was a genuine accident and nothing to do with the general abuse you give me. Anyway great news, we have plates, napkins and people are bringing their own forks/spoons.... so come on woman get baking......
Mars

Rob, i rather write on the message board rather than by e-mail as i might say something rude. i love my time cooking in the kitchen thats not the problem, i thought you were a freiend and friends normaly help out when there is a problem. so i will bring the napkins then. deal or no dealor do i need to contact a resl friend who can multi task and bake cakes.love from a friend in need. lets say no more about ok.
