BBQ Stakes 20 th October 2010

Adrian Plunkett took centre stage today on the occasion of his 800th Barbeque Stales Run.

He has been running regularly depite suffering, on occasions, some injuries, and doing the Treasurer's job for a considerable time. His best is a 23:46 on 8th December 1999. and it is 38 runs since his last win, if I heard correctly. His Best time is 23:12, which is a slick run.

Today's winner was Caroline Campbell, in 40:00 gross time, Second was Helen Larmour on 40:13, and third was Ian Hore on 40:38.

It was also noted that Terry Levings has 886 runs to his credit, and he took a new runner around the course today. Terry is also the founder of the Christmas Relays conducted on the second Wednesday in December, teams of two are handicapped tp finish closest to a total run time of 40 minutes. Some teams get very close to the fourty minutes, while others are a long way from that total.

I did not receive the results for last week's wet day when only 31 people ran, with the winner being James Swann.

There was considerable discussion today about the duty people at the Vets Thursday night program at the AIS. It will be discussed further during the coming week.
