We have just heard from the GBR organisers who have stated that due to lack of entries they feel they would be unable to fulfill the risk assessment for runner safety due to lack of marshals and they have therefore taken the decision to cancel this years event. They apologise for the short notice and hope you'll all understand that runner safety must be a priority which they cannot guarntee with so few people available to marshal over the weekend.

Wokingham half marathon, 10th February 2013
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but it rained pretty much continuously yesterday, and was cold to boot. As a result, at least 500 people who were expected, didn't bother with the Wokingham half, but not a 26.2 runner was amongst them, with all 8 turning out and in a day to grit it out, all finishing within 30 minutes of each other.
V10Marshal Instructions
V10 Marshal instructions have been emailed. Please note if you received 2 separate emails you have TWO marshal points!
Please let me know if you did not receive anything or have any questions.
Cheers Grant
Ladies Cross Country Sat Feb 9th
Our last match (which is also a Grand Priz) is at Denbies Wine Estate, London Road Dorking RH5 6AA at 12 noon, 8.5K, about 5.2 miles. Parking is at Freinds Provident, Pixham Lane RH4 1QA, about a 5 -10 min walk to the start. Please don't park at Denbies! I should have the club banner by the tea and cakes table.
The course is 2 equal laps, undulating with a step climb, and some stoney paths, so more suitable for trail shoes although spikes could be worn. There are no changing facilites but portaloos are on the course. There is a cafe and a lovely shop at Denbies, if using please don't go in with muddy shoes or they may not let the venue be used again.
I'd appreciate you letting me know if you are coming, or you can just turn up on the day, if you haven't done one before please come early enough for me to give you a number. Look forward to seeing you there and also at the end of season social at the New Prince, Ewell Road Surbiton (see Richard for more info!)

February 2013 Club Handicap Preview - Joint Points Leaders
With James Thurston (136) not running in January, Rosie Gerrard and Kevin Stone are joint points leaders on 150 a piece, with David Pearce (134) 4th.
Javier Fuentes (113) 5th, pops above non-running Jon Kinsey (106) 6th, with Caroline Dawson's (102) excellent 2nd position finish last time out moving her up from 14th to 7th. Libby Marchant (76) was another big improver moving from 25th to 14th. Only 20 points separate Jamie Fuentes (95) in 8th from Chris Wilson (75) in 15th.
The weather forecast for tomorrow evening is for clear spells and temperatures of 3°C with a brisk Northerly wind. That's pretty good compared with what we've been running in recently so I expect to see you all there.
People able to help will, as usual, be most welcome. January Analysis and full League Table are attached.
