Hello All,

What a great turnout for the summer league fixture. We romped to victory with particularly strong performances from the women and children keeping us top of the league with just one fixture to go on 15th August in Battersea Park.

Thanks to all those who brought along food for the lovely post race picnic and to Salam who very kindly provided enough Bangla beer to keep us all suitably refreshed.

Meanwhile, across London in Hyde Park, there were some equally impressive efforts from our triathletes with Marc Henrion posting a superb 2:07:35 and Hilary Johnson coming 3rd in her age group in 2:31:45.

Finally, Chaser John Nodder is a musician as well as an occasional runner. He plays bass guitar with a band called Alpha Rays, and they are doing a gig at the Camden Barfly at 8:30pm on Saturday 18 September if you are interested in coming along. http://www.barflyclub.com/camden/whatson/WhatsOn.aspx

The Barfly helped launch the careers of Coldplay, Radiohead and Muse amongst others, so you never know - one day you may be able to say you heard Alpha Rays before they were famous. John's not giving any guarantees, but he would love to have some friendly faces in the crowd to help cheer the band. If you'd like to come do let John or Jane know, or just turn up (let the doorman know you've come to see Alpha Rays).

TRAIL RUNNING
There was a break from the trails last week as many people were involved in the 10K league race. Remember, Saturday 7 August is the third and final race in the Orion 5 mile cross-country series. Starting at 10am this is another scenic run through Epping Forest - again suitable for all and you can just sign up on the day - see http://www.orionharriers.org.uk/ for details or contact Maki or Jane.
And remember also to look at the Dunstable Downs Challenge - this is also a great race in the Chilterns. Perfect start to the post summer period.
