Club social - PTP @ The Bellhanger - 8:30pm 14/08/08
11/08/2008 by Andy.
It’s that time again - second Thursday of the month - so why not join us for a “post-training-pint” at The Bellhanger (Wetherspoons) in Chepstow after the run?
It’s curry and a pint night (doesn’t have to be alcoholic!) - and this month we’re combining the social with a rather important meeting of the social committee. This month we will decide on the venue for the annual Awards Evening (aka Dinner Dance) - and as the social committee is open to all club members, if you’ve got something in mind, now’s the time to come along - or forever keep your peace as they say!
Hope to see you there after the mystery run…
LCL Champions!!

At Bryn Bach park on Tuedsay 5th August, Chepstow Harriers won the men’s and ladies’ team prizes for the annual Leisure Centre League road race series 2008. Both teams also won the overall (combined road and cross-country) series.
Well done to all who took part on the evening and throughout the year. It was a great team effort - who said running was an individual sport?
Congratulations also to the category prize winners:
1st L55 - Brenda Avery
1st M40 - Martin Pengilly
1st M60 - Dick Finch
2nd M55 - Bill Savage
2nd M60 - Syd Wheeler
3rd SM - Steve Caldwell

Track Extravaganza - results announced
11/08/2008 by Andy.
After much swearing at Excel, I’ve finally managed to pull together the results from July’s club championship “track extravaganza”.
This event consisted of 5 different events: 1500m (ish) steeplechase, 1 mile, 800m, 400m and 100m.
A total of 25 men and 20 ladies took part in the “challenging” mid-summer conditions (not quite as warm and sunny as we’d hoped!) and most (if not all) seemed to enjoy themselves taking on the shorter-than-usual distances.
Each race was scored as if it was a normal championship race (so, 50 points for first place and 50 points for best age %).
The “position points” for each of the five events were then added up to give an overall “position in race” ranking. The highest scorer here was awarded 50 championship points, the second placed 49 points and so on. Separately, the same thing was done for “age related points”.
In this way, July’s championship scores are evenly balanced with the other months. There was obviously an advantage in doing all 5 races, but championship points have been awarded to all participants, even if they only did one of the races.
Hope that makes sense.
Anyway, results for each individual race are here.
The July championship scores are here.
Updated tables for the championship race 2008 are here (men) and here (ladies).
Note that Jane and Geoff Bayliss, plus Steve Harris have taken part in all seven races to-date and so have discarded their worst “A” score (since a maximum of 4 races may be included from any category and we’ve done 5 “A” races).
