11^th December 2016

A fine morning for the Winter Handicap saw 19 runners (plus two guests) take on our challenging 10k(ish) route. First over the line and trophy winners were Elaine Mountfield and Andrew Gerrard.

There was the usual ‘banter’ about start times, and a steward’s enquiry about the mathematics, but Dan Green, Ian Seabury, Roger Knight and Ian Edge just about managed to keep things running smoothly.

Winter Handicap 2012

2011

It was one of the best turn outs for the Winter Handicap of the last few years . no doubt due to absence of snow and ice.

Tracy stormed through the field to be the first person home overall, and was the ladies champion. The men.s race was more competitive with the first 6 men arriving within about a minute of each other. Keith was the first home for the men and hence was the mens champion. Commiserations to Mark who was up with the main pack until the bottom of Bridge Lane when he suffered an injury and had to hobble home.

Thanks to Neil for doing the timekeeping.

Afterwards there was a get together at the Bellhouse Club in Grappenhall where Keith was presented with a tankard to celebrate reaching a half century, and Tracy received a plaque in recognition of her breaking all the Ladies records last year.

2010

Just like last year the day was beautifully clear and crisp, and also just like last year there had been a fall of snow the night before. Unlike the previous year however this years snowfall was onto very wet, cold and icy roads which made it unsafe for us to run the handicap over its usual 6.4ish miles around Grappenhall and Appleton Thorn.

Fear not however, for the committee like Baldrick had a cunning plan for just such an eventuality. The roads may have been unsafe, as seen by the low turnout, but Broomfields field, with three or four inches of powder snow was a joy to run on, just like running on sand dunes someone said. So what we had was a zigzag course of four laps using the football and rugby posts as our turnaround points.

All those who ran agreed that the shortening of the distance made a bit of a mess of the handicap times, but nevertheless it was a good fun event. Jim and Tracy where the first men and women home and win the trophies for this year. For the championship its times that count, so the positions where;

Women

Tracy Entwistle
Gill Collen

Men

Jim Dawson
Ian Edge
Neil Hankinson
Keith Brown

Also running this year where Tony Bell and Shelly Walsh who had come over from Germany as part of their Christmas break. Coldest of all of us though without doubt where Mark Molloy and Mhairri Gass. They acted as timekeepers and deserve a huge vote of thanks for standing in the snow whilst we all kept warm running.

Finally to top off the whole event, as we began the final lap who should turn up but Father Christmas!

(Sorry Alan).

Afterwards we retired to the Grappen Secret Santa and a good helping of sandwiches. we wish her well.

2009

This years' winter handicap was one to remember. Nine members turned battle through snowstorms to get to Broomfields. No question of cancelling the race, so Gill and Ian set of first.

The route was a bit slippy down Bridge Lane but got better when we got onto virgin snow on Stockton Lane. The sun came out for the hill on Broad Lane and the running was positively surreal. We wizzed through Appleton before becoming engulfed in another snowstorm on the way back to Broomfields.

Congratulation to Lee and Gill for winning the handicap race and thanks to Julia for doing the handicaps and the timekeeping.

The Course

Ian made sure that he would be seen if he got lost in a snow drift!

The Winter Handicap took place on the 21st December. There was a good turnout; 15 members took part on a particular windy day, and most gathered afterwards at the Grappenhall Community Centre for same sandwiches, the secret Santa and the London Marathon Draw.

Held on a cold December morning - turnout was good, 16 of us turned up and we also had two guests. Commiserations to Robin for injuring his calf (which was no joke in the arctic conditions). London marathon places in the draw at the Saracen's head afterwards went to Kevin Dickson and Keith Brown.
