Club Handicap Race

12th July 1998

A request from the Committee members to bring the race forward to July and to hold it on a Sunday resulted in 34 runners taking part, much better than last year's entry of only 20. But it did bring the RAIN - the whole race was run in terrible weather and it is a credit to all competitors, officials and stewards who braved the "Summer" conditions - thanks to you all. Steve Walker battled through to the front and held on to win well from Joe Potts, with previous winner Dave Kitching in third place.  Coming next was John Miller just holding off Robin Fentum, and in sixth place Andy Brown, fastest on the day having started off from back mark. A group of four followed Andy closely in; George Young just beating Gareth Hope, Ian Cansfield and Neal Hedley. Owing to the adverse weather conditions, none of the course records were threatened.
Those who responded to George Young's challenge to predict their time without wearing a watch are also listed below. There's just no knocking Andy back…
Again, thanks to all who got wet.
