Loads of fun down at the track and some great performances!
Well done everyone!
It is with great sadness that we share the news that our friend, long term club member and committee member David George died suddenly on Monday. We would like to encourage our members to run Banstead Woods parkrun this week (3rd) in his honour and we are therefore postponing our Grand Prix event #4 to Richmond parkrun on September 17th.
Please sign up for a seat on the bus from Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club, 7am Sunday October 2nd for the London Marathon.
This is free for club members and a highly subsidised £5 cash for non members and their supporters. Runners and non-runners welcome.

The course is one lap 2.8 miles off road. It has been very dry and road shoes should be fine. Spikes are possible but there’s one narrow tarmac road crossing. Looking at the results from previous years there are some very fast teams, but also plenty of a similar pace to all of our teams.
The 2 ladies teams are:
Senior:
| Rike | Jones |
| Maddy | Trowsdale Stannard |
| Hannah | Shaw |
Vets:
| Daisy | Street |
| Carla | Cotton |
| Steph | Harvey |
and the 3 men’s teams:
Vets:
| Joe | Chang |
| Mark | La Frenais |
| Gerry | Hasson |
| Asa | Whitfield |
Senior:
| Jonathan | Chow |
| Henry | Carter |
| Graeme | Maisey |
| Paul | Turkington |
Vets:
| Paul | Keddie |
| David | Twaite |
| Peter | Grecian |
| David | Pimm |
The start is at Pen Pond’s (disabled) car park and you could park in Broomfield Car Park, gates close 9pm if you run the first or second leg and have to dash off and can resist the offer of tea and cake at TH&H or curry (£20). However I recommend parking at TH&H Clubhouse or Asda or the surrounding streets and using the 1k or so to the start as a warmup.
Car sharing is recommended. I’ll be leaving the club at 5:30 with the club flag. See the facebook post. See you all there!
The club run on Monday 23rd May is at 7pm Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club. There will be groups of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 miles lead by experienced run leaders.
Wednesday 25th May 7pm track at the Harrier Center, Pool Road, Ewell. £3.10 entrance. Suitable for all standards of runner.

Richmond Park ladder runs are back! A bit earlier this year than in previous years, but we love Richmond Park.
7pm Ham Gate. Do not park inside the Park as the vehicle gates will shut whilst we are running. There is ample parking on Hame Gate Ave.
