We have been asked if Chorley AC would be willing to compete in the Isle of Mann for one of the track tournaments (Northern Mens and Womens) for next year. The committee would like to canvass opinions from the athletes involved. Please email or talk to committee members.

The Chorley AC Committee recognises the importance of our younger members, and so we would like to find a Junior Representative(s?) to gather and feedback the views of junior and primary aged members; potentially influencing how the club is run. Anybody interested in such a role should speak to John P, Mike C or Simon at anytime.

Jan is now settled in at a great home in Chorley. If any one would like to visit her then contact me, Simon has my email details, too dangerous to put the address here! I'm certain Jan would enjoy seeing friends from the club.
I hope to be back on Tuesday soon.

Senior mens race starts at 14:15 but please be there at least 30mins before start. Traffic could be bad because of rugby final at Old Trafford between Wigan and St Helens.

I was the only member to have run the flood shortened Garstang Half Marathon(reported as 11.75m - but by my logging closer to 11.96m) My pos: 183/198 - 2:02:17. This was my first race since the final inter-club in Worden but my training has gone well - Evidence: 10.13 p/m today vs 10.05 p/m at 4m Worden. I might have gone even faster but my right knee locked at 4.5m and I was reduced to 20 mtrs hobling - 10 mtrs walking until 5.5m (11.55 fifth and 11.16 sixth miles) when it suddenly went OK. I then started flying - even putting in an 8.32 ninth mile!

Chorley AC runners V50 Dave Kershaw and V60 Barry Chester ploughed their way through deep mud in the Golf Ball fell race, to finish in times of 48:01 and 59:50 respectively. On an uncharacteristic warm afternoon, V45 Simon Townsend and V60 Les Paul tackled the steep slopes of the Darwen Gala Fell race. The former completed the course (despite shoe problems) in 31:10 and the latter finishing in 51:31 with a new PB.
