We've already spotted a couple of errors in the official results, which have been corrected below and reported to the organisers. If you know of any others, please let me know.

With the cars sliding around in the field and everyone in waterproofs and hats, it was more like a cross country fixture than the start of the summer series. Still, good to be back at Charlton and to see quite a few ERR newcomers to this event. Let's hope that the rest of the fixtures are in rather more appropriate conditions for the season. Well done to Queenie for winning her category - in it to win it, and all that.

A decent ERR turnout for what is a fast course and quality field at Maidenhead. Well done to those who set PBs, and it was clearly a bit of a joker day, so let me know if I missed any.

Strangely dry conditions on the hilly Henley course. The ERR contingent were boosted by the first appearance of the season for Nick and Laura Leach, the first cross country race in living memory for Justin, and the return of Robert, who showed us what we've been missing by leading the men's team home. As a result, the ERR men were top of Division 2 on the day, and 2nd for the season, so a possible promotion, although none of us quite knows how that works. The ERR ladies improved to 7th in Division 1 on the day, but still finished 9th and last for the season. I think we know what happens there... Congratulations to Alexander Daniels, who didn't run at Henley but had still done enough to finish 3rd for the season in the U9 Boys category and to err, me, who managed to cling on the 3rd MV50 for the season. Anyway, here are the day's results:

Rather more pleasant conditions for this year's visit to the Cotswold Farm Park, although the course was still pretty challenging. Another pretty decent performance by the ERR men resulted in finishing in 2nd place in Division 2 on the day, so promotion may still be a possibility. The ERR ladies were 9th in Division 1 on the day, which probably doesn't improve their position for the season.

Mud, hills, a ditch of uncertain depth, and another torrential downpour to accompany the women's race - it was all there at Shotover. Welcome back to Liz, and a nice gentle introduction into the joys of cross country for Dave. The improved turn-out all round meant that the ERR men's A team finished top of Division 2 on the day, while the ladies were 9th in Division 1.

Well, that was fun, in a chilly sort of way. Thanks to everyone who took part in both runs, as well as all the marshals and timekeepers, and those who offered an impromptu taxi service to and from the woods. A good way to honour the memories of both Mark and Roger, especially with the trip to the pub afterwards. The times for the longer run are below. As this was the last club championship race of the year, your joker will be automatically played if it hadn't already been.
