JANUARY 2012 JOGALONG

With the first event in 2012 conducted on New Year’s Day, it was not surprising that numbers were down

quite a bit. However, for those who did make the effort to get there, it was a good day to pick up somepoints.

In the 6 kilometre handicap event, the placings went to three of the most experienced entrants in the

event. Indeed, between them they have participated in 474 Jogalongs. A great achievement. The winner was Norma Lindnn in 35 mins 17 secs. Norma was competing in her 214

th event and last won in

January 2005 proving that she is a bit of a January specialist. Caroline Campbell was second in 31 mins 56 secs and, again, the last time she was placed was in January 2006. Third place went to Rosemary Parker in 44 mins 43 secs in her 189

th Jogalong and follows her win in August 2011. Rosemary has now

been placed on 8 occasions.

The fastest time of the day of 26 mins 46 secs was recorded by Susannah Hiron in her 100 th event.

The winner of the

Minijog was Lachlan Priddle in 9 mins 34 secs. Morgan Greaves was second in 10

mins 05 secs and Michael Hannigan came in third in 9 mins 27 secs.
