Our next club race is the Barnard Trophy 10 kilometres to be held on Saturday, July 5th in Sutton Macclesfield, starting at 1.00 p.m. As is now usual it would be really helpful if you could let Dave Evans know if you are attending and in what capacity. It also helps Marshall with the refreshments.

Last weekend saw the biggest participation event on the Isle of Man, the 85 miles Parish Walk. It’s a heart-warming display of guts and camaraderie. I was hoping to post some great videos of the race in progress, which capture beautifully the relationship between participants, attendants and supporters along the course. However, at this moment, these are not available.
However, here is a clip of the engaging post-race interview with Callum Gawne, the proud winner. I wonder if Callum is related to the Haydn Gawne, who I raced against in the mid-1960s.
The photo was taken by our very own Guy Goodair, almost 60 years ago!!
By chance, on the same page of results, we find the following.
Whilst Ron was still very much flying the Lancashire flag on his own, it’s sobering to recognise how far he travelled from Bolton to Trowbridge to compete. And, back then, it was a bloody long way!
