A lovely sunny but cold winter day was ideal for the latest round of the Mid Lancs cross country. There was a good Pendle turnout and the U13 boys triumphed by winning the team prize in their race. If Noel’s calculations are correct then this means that that they have won the overall league trophy for the second year in a row with two races remaining.
Many of our athletes, especially me, found it hard going in the mud and lots of twists and turns of the course through the trees. Many thanks to Norman and the team from Hyndburn for hosting and to Dawn who is Mid Lancs XC. Results now up at www.midlancs.org.uk.
From Chris:
Mid Lancs Cross Country League meeting on Saturday, 14 January at Wilson
Playing Fields, Hyndburn.
There was an error on the information slip given out on Monday at Pendle
Vale. The time of the U11s Girls’ race, 12.30 p.m. is correct but the
Boys’ race time should have read 12.45 p.m. not 11.45 p.m.
There are two races for U11 athletes (boys and girls). These races are
used as an introduction to cross country and athletes are not eligible for
awards at the end of the season. There is not an 8 year old restriction
and Dawn, who organizes the league is happy for younger athletes to run if
parents feel their child will enjoy the race (see your child’s coach if
you are uncertain). Under 11 athletes do not have to wear a club vest but
if there are any spare from our ‘loan stock’ they will be able to borrow
one. Alternatively, club vests can be purchased from Daemon.
There is no fee for these races as we affiliate to the league.
Lancashire Sportshall League
The next sportshall meeting is on Sunday, 15 January at Blackpool Sports
Centre, Stanley Park. Entry is on the day – £5 for 4 events plus 1 relay.
Registration starts at 9.30 a.m. and the first event is at 11 a.m. The
competition is for Under 11s, Under 13s and Under 15s. All ages at 31
August 2011 and athletes must be a least 8 years old on the day of
competition.
From Richard Marchant
This has been produced for an olympics competition by a junior runner http://www.filmnation.org.uk/watch/film/fast-feet-1. Please vote for her entry if you like it.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t get there due to work problems. Some great photos from Richard Marchant. Results will be on http://www.midlancs.org.uk/
The Red Rose season finished at a very muddy Marl Pits. Some excellent runs from Pendle athletes and some prizes. Check the Red Rose website once results have been confirmed.
This is the report from organiser Steve Duxbury:
4th Dec. 2011
Thanks to all my team at Rossendale, and all the officials who helped to stage the last fixture in fairly challenging conditions, and congratulations to all the athletes who ran in one of the toughest and muddiest courses we’ve had in recent years. There were no injuries as far as Rossendale & Pendle Mountain Rescue team were concerned although I did witness several lost shoes along the course. I have several items of lost property so if you have any missing items please email me and I’ll try to get it back to you.
Everything went well until the start of the last lap of the senior men’s race when an over enthusiastic, and misinformed, spectator apparently directed the leading five athletes into the finish. Ultimately, it is up to athletes to know the course, but I can understand the dilemma they faced when given bad advice from someone who they thought was a Race Marshall so, as race organiser, with responsibility for the course, I would like to offer my personal apology to the athletes concerned. Fortunately, Tom Carson’s overall position wasn’t affected by the mistake although this may not be the case with the others concerned.
Overall results are now on the web and a list of the award winners will be posted after Wednesday’s committee meeting. Please note that team managers or individuals must inform Ken Smith, or me, of any errors in the results prior to this, the last committee meeting of the season. Tickets for the Presentation Evening, on Saturday 4th February, will be available from team managers after the meeting.

This will be on Saturday 4th February in Horwich. If you would like to attend please let Christine know as soon as possible.
This is a fell race for both juniors and seniors from penistone quarry near Haworth. The junior course is suitable for those new to fell races. The senior race is the shortest of the series.
I know that a number of club members are going and it would be great to see a large turnout. Fancy dress isn’t compulsory but many will wear something. If you need more details please see Paul. Race details http://www.woodentops.org.uk/index.php?topic=stoop&subtopic=home
Next week 12th December will be our last session before Christmas, after that the school is closed. This means that training will resume on Monday 9th January.
This is a longer break than normal but is just how the holidays fall.
There will be no young athlete group or intermediate squad whilst the school is closed. However the endurance squad will continue to train – see Noel for details.
There are various races during the holiday period for both juniors and seniors but do check the senior races because many are pre entry.
