A big thankyou to Linda and co for being able to provide
christmas dinner in such difficult family circumstances. Its been a great year
for the club, as Andy's "summary" showed.
As Andy pointed out this year we have, won team
and individual prizes at many Club races, with consistently improving
results from notably Marc Clayton, Clare Elms, Kate Marchant and Ken Fancett. Clare
Elms ran the British Masters in Birmingham, winning 800m, 1500m and 5000m.
15 members ran London Marathon, and in May, did the Green Belt
Relay, and don't forget our first ever 10km Beckenham Trail 10k, through
the ancient woodland of Beckenham Place Park. etc etc

Ding dong, etc. Pass the wine.
Beckenham Running Club Christmas Dinner... a paarlauf ( which is a
kind of race, you might be thinking of pavlova ), a sit down meal at
8:30, the
prize giving, its a big annual event. This year we also have a quiz -
many thanks to Mel and Colin for all their gossipy efforts.

Jen says "The cost is £10 (subsidized £5 by the club) and I
will be collecting money from tonight. It is much easier all round if
the money is collected in advance, so please try to remember to bring it
between now and 8th December"

Quiz |

IT HAPPENED IN 2004
This year for the first time we have put together a
quiz relating to incidents that happened during the year. It is being
organised in conjunction with the Christmas dinner on 15th December when the
results will be announced and the winner, or winning team, awarded a prize.
For each clue the answer is a club member. How many can you identify from
events that happened during 2004?
For those of you who don't feature in the answers,
you are either a new club member, have led an exemplary existence during the
past 12 months or we have failed to catch you out! There's always next year!
The more established members at the club may wish
to form small teams to tackle the quiz and ask newer members to join them.
Make sure you give your completed entry to Mel or Colin before we sit down
for dinner on the 15th or return it by email in advance.
Good luck!
Colin / Mel
