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.

A return to what we old sweats would term as 'proper' cross country at Cirencester - cold, muddy, hilly. A decent turn-out from the ERR men, including Mr Tyrrell, despite him getting lost in his extended warm-up, saw them repeat their 4th place in Division 2. Let's salute the ERR ladies who did turn up, rather than the multitudes who didn't, so congratulations and well done to Tara, Jacky, Claire and Kate.

The men certainly had the better of the weather for the cross country season opener at Newbury, with some even saying it was a bit warm, before the heavens opened in time for the women's race. Well done to all the ERR debutants - the Daniels family, along with Claire, Mark and Phil. The individual results are below. For the record, the ERR ladies A team were 9th in Division 1, while the ERR men were 4th in Division 2.

Thanks to everyone who helped out, and of course those who took part in the first running of this event since 2019. The new format seemed to be a hit, but any feedback is welcome. Congratulations to Elaine for winning the massive trophy for the second time, and also to Tom and Jacky who were the man and woman closest to their handicap times, thus winning themselves a trip round the Hook Norton Brewery. Here is Elaine, with the aforementioned trophy, and Simon looking suitably impressed.   Here are the results, in terms of who beat their handicap by most. Some more facts and figures may follow.
