QUIET TIMES

Although I only now organise 19 races a year (down from over 50), it is difficult to get regular volunteers to act as marshals. I have been very lucky to get great officials and a few regular marshals but would like to hear from anyone who may be able to assist, if only infrequently. Please text me on 077 47 77 62 33. Actually, I really enjoy being a marshal so if you need one for events you may be involved with, please ask me....PLEASE.

I spent an interesting afternoon at the ECCA Relay Championships in Mansfield on Saturday 05/11 with over 1000 team entries. For me, I was mindful of how the event has deveoped from the initial Relay Champiosnhips held in the grounds of Crystal Palace in South London with just 12 teams in about 1970 to the brilliant and highly competitive event it is in 2022.
