Thanks from Sandhurst

On behalf of us all at SJ, our warmest thanks to everybody who has made the league such a success, and such good FUN, in recent years. I hesitate to name names–for where does one stop–but Mike Raistrick deserves applause for doing such a brilliant job on this website. It has made all the difference, both for members of participating clubs (of whom, as I write at 10:20 on a wet Tuesday morning, there are 13 on-line) and club reps. The members love the easy access to so much information; the reps LOVE the way the system produces the team-sheets and calculates the results. Thanks Mike....

Our thanks, too, to all the members of the participating clubs who have made the series the exciting, informal and inclusive thing that it has become. Even though it is highly competitive at the front of the field, every runner is made to feel welcome and a part of the event. Through the season we get many members coming along to run in their first 'Event', and they soon get hooked.

Datchet, Reading & Bracknell, you've given us a good run for our money this year, and we really hope you'll come back even stronger next year. Wargrave, welcome–it's good to see new faces. And we look forward to Windle's participation next year too, even though we'll lose a few of our 'second call' runners to them.

Thanks all....
