The Vale Runner - Dec. 2001/Mar. 2002

 

The Official Newsletter for Pewsey Vale Running Club

December 2001 Edition

(March 2002 Edition Below)

Editor: Brian Garman


The Vale Runner - December 2001Page 1
Hello all !

You're reading a Vale Runner - it must be Christmas!

Sorry it has been so long since the last newsletter - you just can't get the staff, which is why I got the job, anyway here goes:

2001 has been a pretty good year for us with membership increasing slightly and our own organised events have been very successful.

Pewsey 5 Mile road race held separately from the Carnival Half for the first time as an evening event on August 1st was a great success with 112 entries (up 50%) raising £220 for club funds.

Pewsey Carnival Half Marathon
(113 entries + 1 wheelchair)

Portman 1500m Fun Run
(39 entries) 26th August was a major fundraiser, which enabled us to contribute £681.29 to the Carnival Fund.
Many thanks to our sponsors - Professional Woodworkers Ltd, Portman Building Society , W Mundy and Son, Market Place Data Ltd, Alfreds Public House, Rushall Farms, Pewsey Osteopathic Clinic, Avon Trophies and Pewsey Sports Centre.

Refreshments raised £77.99 for club funds - a good club fundraiser and thanks to all who worked on this.

Well done and thanks to all who helped out to make the above events so successful.

Results later in newsletter.

Website - Roger Strickland has produced a new website for the club so news and results (past and present) can be accessed.
Many thanks to Roger for his time and effort on this.
Pewsey Vale Running Club web site is:

New Secretary
Tina Watson has taken on the role of club secretary after an absence of anyone permanent, and has got things very nicely back into order - Cheers Tina.

Pewsey Carnival/Street Collection
A float with a Doctor Who theme was entered by the club and collected £353.62 for the Carnival Fund. A good time was had by all.

The profit from the Half Marathon and the Carnival added together means Pewsey Vale Running Club raised £1034.91 for local good causes.

Training Sessions - Tuesday and Thursday evenings 7pm.
Tuesday nights are usually speed sessions during the winter months, which involves a steady warm-up, followed by some fast repetitions, with runners working together, and a steady warm-down afterwards.
Thursday nights are usually steady social runs.


The Vale Runner - December 2001Page 2
Handicap Time Trial - 5k
First Tuesday of the month. (second Tuesday January 2002 only).
Good fun, good training, and a trophy that can be won by anyone because of the handicap system.

Club Kit
Shorts, vests, sweaters, etc bearing the club name are always available from Rob Lister (01672) 563484

Forthcoming Events

16th Bishops Castle Tandem Triathlon 30th June 2001
103 teams
Steve and Julie Winter
Steve - swim 1 km, cycle 30km
Julie - run 10km, cycle 5km to finish
18th mixed pair to finish - 34th overall.
Julie says this is a really tough event with something resembling a mountain that you have to ride up twice in tlle cycling, and a hilly run that seems to have more ups than downs, (at least the water in the swim was flat) but has good views from the top.
Steve and Julie finished in 2hrs 41mins 4secs (fastest time went to Ironman Triathletes- 1hr 57mins 21secs) Julie suggests we get together some teams from the club for the 2002 event!

The Official Newsletter for Pewsey Vale Running Club

March 2002 Edition

Editor: Brian Garman


The Vale Runner - March 2002Page 1
Hello all!
Let's start by welcoming all our new members to Pewsey Vale Running Club, who have joined since the start of the year.

Rob informs me that some members have not returned subscriptions for the year and may have overloooked the fact. Please, if you want to run for the club, enter races as a club member and hold club records etc, you must keep your membership up-to-date.
Contact Rob 01672 563484 if you need a new membership form.

Club Training Nights
Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7pm at the Sports Centre.

Monthly Time Trail
The 5k handicap time trial, which is held on the first Tuesday of the month, will be moving to the summer MT venue at The Golden Swan, Wilcot, starting from April 2nd at 7:00pm.
The time trial has become very popular not only for the race training, but as a kind of club social (even more so at the pub), and because of the time handicap, anyone can win the monthly trophy.

Presentation Evening
(held Saturday January 26th)
Thanks to Julie, Caroline and helpers Tina and Nicola for their time and effort in making the evening successful, sociable and a good laugh. Many thanks also to Rob for his part in organising the bufffet for the evening.

Race Organisation for our 10 Mile Hilly/5 Mile Evening Race/ Carnival Half and 1500m Fun Run.
Our annual club events are always a success and although many members and friends of the club help out on the day, the actual organization falls to a small group of individuals who end up taking care of all the planning, for all the races.
It is for this reason the suggestion was put forward that maybe we could split the workload, and if enough members were willing to take on the responsibility we could organize our events in a slightly different fashion.
This would entail the setting up of two different race organization groups, one for the 10 Mile Hilly, and one for the Carnival Half/1500m Fun Run.
The Five Mile which takes much less organizing as it is now a separate evening race could be worked out more easily.
The planning of the races could be arranged as it is now, with input from all the experienced members at a planning meeting, but the essential tasks of marking out the course, liaising with the Sports Centre, marshalling etc being undertaken by the group responsible for the particular event.
Some of the members who play a pivotal role presently, I am sure would have no objection to carrying on in the setting up of all the events, but I am sure you would agree it is inly fair to spread the workload if it is possible.
I know we have members who are more than up to the task and if people come forward maybe we can hold a meeting to discuss the possibilities.
I stress this is only a suggestion for discussion at this point in time.
Members interested in getting involved please contact Mark 07779 084881.

Kennet and Avon Canal Relay
26th December 2001

11 Teams competed.
P.V.R.C. entered two teams named the Explosives and the Dynamites (probably more due to the turkey, xmas pud etc, consumed the day before, than to actual athletic prowess in most cases) for this annual Boxing Day event with eleven teams competing on a very cold morning.
Pewsey Explosives took the lead from the Dynamites from the start, and increased the gap up to leg four, but the Dynamites recovered strongly in leg five and the stage was set for real race glory in the last leg number six, in which the Dynamites managed to come in just nine seconds ahead of the Explosives.
This was the closest of finishes for the Pewsey teams and they came in third and fourth positions overall.
Leg 1: 2.79 miles
Starting at Bradford on Avon Wharf
B.Garman (Explosive) 18mins 02secs

Slaughterford 9 Mile Multi-Terrain
27th January 2002

382 entries, 345 Runners
Pewsey Vale attracted 11 members to this event with the men's team finishing in 2nd position.
This year's race was very hard and demanding due to the preceding very wet weather.
The one lap course is brilliant, with mud, floods, stiles, hills, streams, boggy fields, ploughed fields, water crossings and a hill climb to the finish.
The event is well organised and marshalled, with a T shirt to all finishers.
This is a run that has to be done, so make a date in your diary for Sunday January 26th 2003.
