Chasers AGM at The Pineapple
The Chasers Annual General Meeting took place on Monday at the Pineapple in Kentish Town where the new committee members were elected for 2023-24 (more details to come next week). Thanks to all those who attended and we hope you enjoyed the free Thai food! Another big thank you once again to John who is stepping down from Committee as webmaster, and also a huge thank you to Alice who will be stepping down as Club Chair. Thank you both for your hard work and dedication over the years supporting the Mornington Chasers.
Robert ‘Bobby’ Howe
Unfortunately the club received some sad news this week about Bobby Howe who passed away last year on 9th October 2022. Bobby was an avid runner and long-serving member of the Mornington Chasers. Johnny, another founding member of the club, has written some words below.
Born - Unknown as he never paid his subs. The club eventually gave in asking for subs and made him a lifetime member (this will not work a second time round)
Died - 9th October 2022
Some very sad news. I went to see what had happened on Saturday 29th April 2023. I knock on the door where he lived, no answer, so I rang the door next door. She told me that Bobby passed away in Autumn, he had a stroke in his back garden.
Bobby ran over 100 marathons in his time. He also ran for Mornington Chasers in lots of Cross Country races, Southern races, Met-league, Chiltern league and Summer league.
Bobby helped out in the Mornington Chasers Winter series helping out as the Race Organiser. Bobby never had a bad word for anybody. Bobby was a nice guy, he will be sadly missed. RIP Bobby old mate.
