With the Sandman moving its date and Menai deciding also to put on an event the same weekend it was a shame to see only 60 children turn up to compete.
Thanks for the continued support of X Ray Mineral Services, Mostyn Estates,Dewi Sinclair, Ron Jones Summit Cafe, Great Orme Mines, Orme Country Park and Caroline Jones at Conwy Leisure.  Thanks also to the faithful helpers from NWRCC, Prestatyn and Eryri and of course the parents et al who took 10 yrs off their cars clutch life getting the runners to the summit.
Good competition across the board in both sexes, the only record being broken was the open girls U8 where Bolton’s Liby Philbin took 6 seconds off the 2009 record.  Da iawn Liby.

Thanks to all the helpers last night especially Paul Carter who had to run the race (19 minutes), and then type in all the entries and feed all the numbers and times in ready for prize giving.

 Well done Rob Samuel, his third victory, while Llanrug’s Kathryn Gray recorded her first.

 Heatwave conditions ensured no records were broken, unless you count 15 gallons of water drunk, while 144 runners beat the train’s time of 23.33. The Coffi Roc case of beer went to Travis Trotters 80.54, ahead of Betsi Runaways 82.46.

Juniors

That’s the last time I set the girls off after the boys ! Despite coming in 1st  and 2nd Eden and Jack suddenly found themselves relegated to 4th and 5th by the three girls who had started off 15 seconds behind them. Thanks to Chelsea and Neil from Tesco for attending and starting the race and for also funding the goody bags.
The North Wales Junior Fell Championships take place on the Orme 20th September, make a note in your parents diary kids, entry forms will be on our website from mid August.  Mike

Free 1 day Coaching Course on offer

The club is offering one member the opportunity to attend an official LiRF training course to become a qualified coach for the club.  Costs associated with the training will be paid by the club, we only ask in return that you genuinely intend to use the qualification for the good of the club.

This will allow you to officially coach both seniors and junior runners.  We already have one qualified coach, namely our Chairman and Junior Trainer, Paul Jenkinson.  Paul however could always do with a hand with the juniors occasionally.  The person attending this will also be well qualified to help out at the other training nights.

If interested please get in touch with Arwel Lewis asap on 07772 302411 or arweleryri@googlemail.com

Thanks once again to the faithful few, Eryri, Prestatyn, NWRRC and parents who turned out to assist and make the day go smoothly. This year it was the turn of Colwyn Bay to take the bulk of the medals, again the main star being Michael Roberts breaking his own North Wales record in the U14s, with team mate U12 record holder Holly Roberts winning the U14 girls.  The sole Eryri medalist be Caitlin Forrest 2nd in the U10 girls.

Thanks must also go to X-Ray Mineral Services, Sinclair Steel, Mostyn Estates, Conwy Council and the Orme Country Park for allowing us to use such a cracking venue.
