LCL Champions!!
11/08/2008 by Andy.
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

Bryn Bach Park LCL - Tuesday 5th August
04/08/2008 by Andy.
It’s the final race in this year’s summer Leisure Centre League series and both Chepstow teams are leading their respective tables going into the event. There are also a number of club members with opportunity to win individual glory - but with all races counting, few can afford to miss this last event!
The race takes place at Bryn Bach Country Park, starting at 7:30pm. Parking will be extremely limited due to an orienteering event also taking place in the park - can all runners please try to share cars as much as possible?
We will meet at Chepstow Leisure Centre ready to leave at 5:45pm.
For those heading straight to the race, I’ve done a Google search and come up with the following: http://www.aboutbritain.com/maps/brynbachcountrypark-map.asp. For the “Sat Nav” users amongst us, the post code is NP22 3AY (note it’s near Tredegar, NOT near Tredegar House - mentioning no names Mr Club Captain).
Hope to see you there!

Now updated with the official results via Eric. Perhaps someone will edit this with a more detailed commentary - too late at night for me!
I remember the race from last year and despite that I turned up for another go. The walk from the car park seemed bad enough but was only a taster of the hills to come. Someone said there were only 2 hills - I think they were a bit economical with the truth. Anyway, we had a good turnout and my quick glance at the results suggests we won the men’s competition. Well done to all who competed. Official Results , Cumulative Results after 3 races

Special mentions to Nick and Sam - first place in the respective individual races - take a look at the “positions to date” to see where you stand overall. Prizes are on offer in all age categories…

The men have also now joined the ladies at the top of the combined XC/Road series with this victory.
Roll on the next race: Caerleon, 24th June (from the Wheatsheaf Inn, Llanhennock) - and this one’s a CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP event.
Edit [13-May]: corrected results uploaded, no change to positions (I think!)

Leisure Centre League - Tuesday 22nd April
20/04/2008 by Andy.
The first event in the annual Leisure Centre League Road Race series will take place this Tuesday, 22nd April, starting at the Glan Yr Afon (formerly Oasis Club) on Edlogan Way in Cwmbran (http://www.griffithstownharriers.co.uk/racesleisureleague.htm).
EDIT: this link http://www.goodrunguide.co.uk/RaceDetails.asp?RaceID=152 might help too!
According to the Griffithstown page, it would appear that guest runners are, sadly, not allowed to take part - so it is First Claim Chepstow runners only. 
Meet at Chepstow Leisure Centre ready to leave at 6:30pm, or go straight to the venue - race starts at 7pm.
All runners must take their Leisure Centre League number (same one as for the recent Cross Country season) - if you don’t have a number get there early and ask Syd to allocate you one. If you’ve lost your number, Syd may have a spare, otherwise scrawl it on a piece of paper and pin that to your vest.
If you’ve got one, club vests are a good idea!
See you there…
