BBQ Stakes 14 th September 2011

Today's winner was Gary Bowen.

He has run the stakes 95 times so is heading for a souvenir t-shirt after another 5 runs. Today was his third win, and he seems to be a regular participant. He enjoyed The Camberra Times 5km Fun Run over the weekend, and finished into the head wind like the other runners..

Second over the line was John Scheding and the backmarker, Matthew Murphy was third. Matthew Murphy ran well again, as he usually does, to take out third place. Sandhya Bhatia did the timekeeping today in a seamless fashion after her win last week.

The YCRC Winter Season finished with good numbers in the West Basin 10 Miler on Saturday 3rd Sept.

Results will be on the website shortly.

The September 2011 Jogalong was significant in that Linda Miles joined Linda Richardson in becoming ONLY the second club member to record 220 runs in the 6k Handicap. I think I heard Linda say it has taken her 32 years to do this number of runs. Remembering that there are only 11 Jogalong's each year.The clubs AGM will be held in late October, more information on this will be published later. Keep your diary free for late October.

Spring Series will commence on Tuesday 1 November (Melbourne Cup Day). A 2k/5k will be held at Minindee Drive, Parkes near the Boathouse Restaurant.
