NOTICE OF AGM Once upon a time in a pleasant but remarkably hilly corner of the North of England there was a very popular running club. Its members turned up to the clubhouse two nights a week, parked in the new car park, got changed in the warm clean changing rooms, went on one of a number of organised runs, had a hot shower, got changed and went home happy and fit. This arrangement continued for many years and the club members were content and care-free. Then, one dark rainy night, the members arrived at the clubhouse to find it closed and saw three people standing in front of the entrance door. The first, a rather stylish and debonair man said that he was from the Planning Department and that the newly formed car park needed planning permission. The second man dressed in a blazer and brandishing a whistle and clipboard said that whilst he had been officiating at a recent race one of the club’s members had had the audacity to ask him where the start was. This was in flagrant breach of the EEC Athletics Group Regulations 5. para3. section z(i) (Mondays to Thursdays) and could not be tolerated. The third person was a lady from the National Event Board who stated that the elderly lady who helped serve refreshments at club races had not passed her food hygiene licence regulations exam and therefore her butterfly buns were a potential death trap. The premises must be closed down straight away. The members were stunned. What were they to do? Where could they go for a run? “Where are the Committee to sort this out now that we need them?” said an angry lady in the front row. “Where were you when we needed you?” said a group of tired looking people at the back. OK, its not exactly Enid Blyton but with luck you get the point. We are all part of the Club and all of us have a say in what the Club does and the direction it is going. However, it takes a lot of ongoing work and behind the scenes effort to ensure that the Club runs smoothly. The Committee posts are a rewarding but involved job and volunteers are vital if the Committee is to carry on its good work so far and the Club is to keep our position at the top level in the region in terms of athletics participation and achievement. Furthermore the Committee need to know your views to inform its decisions over the next 12 months. The Club AGM is on Tuesday 8 June at 8.30pm. Please look out for the notice of the AGM in the Clubhouse and feel free to put forward any items for discussion. Do not feel afraid to be critical or to put your name down for a Committee position or assume that all the current post holders want to carry on. Importantly, please take the time to attend the meeting. John Ritchie Secretary

Marsden 10 Colne Valley Lions have provided assistance to Richard Thompson who is a member of Holmfirth Harriers and suffered a cardiac arrest whilst out running over 4 years ago. Most of our members know Richard as "Thomo" and he still supports the harriers at relay events and cross country meetings. Jeff Pierson and Bob Harbisher are assisting the Lions to put on the event and it would be great to see as many harriers as possible taking part. It includes a race, but if families or in deed any one wants to walk then they will also be very welcome.

London Mini Marathon 25th April 2010

The London Mini Marathon sees teams from all regions of the UK battling it out over the last 3 miles of the London Marathon Course. The regional athletes are selected based on performances over the winter with only the best from each region gaining the chance to run. Two young athletes from Holmfirth Harriers were chosen to represent Yorkshire & Humberside. Max Kaye took part in the 15-17 year old boys and Lewis Byram in the 11-12 year old boys event. With rain falling keeping the air cool hundreds of young athletes lined up. The event included Regional Teams and London Borough Teams in different age groups. Max in one of the first events of the day set off in the rain. Starting from Old Billingsgate following the Thames along the Embankment, passing the London Eye, Big Ben and turning at Buckingham Palace and finishing on The Mall. In a field of 280 including 64 regional runners Max finished in an excellent time of 15min 40seconds and 42nd place in the Region Challenge.

The 11-12 year old boys started their race just as the rain stopped. Following the same 3 mile course Lewis was in the lead pack from the off and managed to move up to 3rd place by the second mile mark. In the last few hundred yards Lewis made a dash for home to gain a further place to finished 2nd overall in a time of 17min 3 seconds just 4 seconds behind the leader, in a field of 237 athletes including 55 regional athletes.

Lewis also led the Yorkshire team to overall victory. For his efforts on the day Lewis received a Watch for 2nd place and all finishes received special London Mini Marathon medals.

ROAD

National Road Relays On Saturday 17th April, eighteen Holmfirth Harriers made the trip to a sunny Sutton Park in Birmingham to compete in the English Road Running Association National Road Relays; one of only four qualifying Athletics Clubs from Yorkshire. The ladies team continues to improve, with another best-ever position of 17th place. 44 teams finished the event, with a further 14 clubs running incomplete teams. Katie Walshaw changed from her usual anchor-leg position to run the first leg, getting the team off to an excellent start in 14th place out of 58 - she ran a PB for this course of 17:36. Claire Leaver ran a steady race, handing over in 21st place in a time of 19:01 then Kath Farquhar, who is also in good form, brought the team back up to 15th place in 18:21. Lucy Griffiths lost just 3 places on leg 4, in a time of 20:01 and then Lesley Ewart did well to maintain the team's position on leg 5 in a time of 20:29. Ladies Captain, Helen Berry, ran the final leg and managed to gain one position to bring the team home in 17th place in a time of 18:41. The men’s event saw Matthew Pierson lead the team off for the first stage of 12. Matthew came back in 6th place in a time of 26:14, the twelfth fastest long leg of the day. Richard Smith then took over, running a strong second leg against some experienced competitors to come back in 25th place. Mark Buckingham, who is in good form, then took over on the third leg moving the team up to 10th place in a time of 26:10, the ninth fastest long leg of the day. Then Gary Graham took over and unfortunately half way round the course suffered an ankle injury which meant the team lost their good position. Gary bravely completed the leg so that the team could carry on, handing over to Dave Watson who finished in 34th place. Matthew Dewhirst, who had only been called into the team at the last minute due to Alistair Langron being stuck in Portugal due to the ash cloud over the UK, ran a great 6th leg and then Dave Turnbull carried on his come back from injury with a strong run on the 7th leg. By this time the field was quite spread out, so it took a storming run from James Dewhirst to move the team up one position into 39th place. Matthew Johnson ran next with captain, John Ewart, on the 10th leg. Julian Rose ran the final long leg before handing over to Phillip Martin on the final leg and brought the team home in 41st place in a finishing time of 4:48:16. Newham and Essex Beagles, with local athlete Mark Warmby in the team, where the clear winners in the men’s race.

Salford 10k On Good Friday a small but competitive group of Harriers made the trip across the Pennines to run in the well regarded Salford 10k. In a high quality field, 2 Holmfirth men battled it out for 1st place, with Mark Buckingham managing to drop clubmate Matthew Pierson on the second 5k loop to claim victory in 29:59 (before cycling back

Three Peaks 2010

Saturday 24th saw the 56th running of the Three Peaks race, which this year was a ‘long’ race counter in the Holmfirth Harriers Fell Championship. This meant that 15 Harriers, a larger contingent than might normally enter this race, including 8 novices, were vying for as many points as possible from this race. Starting and finishing in Horton-in-Ribblesdale in the Yorkshire Dales, the race covers a distance of 23.3 miles and 5279 feet of climb, taking in the summits of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The weather was warm and sunny - fantastic for spectators, though a little warm for the competitors, with times being slower than last year for the majority and a relatively high number of retirements. Of 703 runners on the start line, 602 completed the full course. Club Captain, John Ewart, was hoping to take maximum points from this race for the Championship and a place amongst the V50 prizes, but very disappointingly for him struggled with an injury and in an effort not to do further damage, was forced to retire at Ribblehead, almost half way into the race. With John out of the running, Nigel Moran was leading the Harriers. However, a slightly ambitious start cost him, when after the last checkpoint on Ingleborough summit Ladies Captain, Helen Berry, overtook him increasing the distance between them over the last gruelling 5 miles, finishing almost 3 minutes ahead. Helen, who finished 4th lady last year, was hoping to achieve a top 6 placing in a quality ladies field and to break the 4 hour barrier again. She admitted to having paced herself better this year, leaving something left in the tank to make that final effort off Ingleborough. Helen finished in 6th place, 114 th overall. Nigel was still first man home in 124th and was 11 minutes quicker than last year, gaining maximum points for the men’s Championship, followed by new member and Novice, Nathan Martin in 173rd place. Whether it was the dry conditions under foot, or simply tiredness, there were a lot of falls suffered during the race, keeping the St John Ambulance volunteers busy at the finish! Helen enjoyed a trip down Whernside (it wouldn’t be a fell race if Helen didn’t fall!). Chris Beadle, who had his sights on overtaking Helen in the latter half of the race, fell on the Whernside descent and as a result finished lower than he expected. Karen Sinkinson, racing for the first time also had a fall on the last stretch home from Ingleborough, though her spirits weren’t dampened and a worthy second lady Harrier home meant a good number of points to count towards the Championship. The Novices showed great resolve in such warm conditions and all did well to complete the course; Phil Hobbs in 4:46, and Phil Martin, Matt Cromack and Andrei Vais all coming in just over the 5 hour mark. Sophie Barroclough, a Novice to the Three Peaks, but certainly not long races (having completed Duddon last year!!) completed the women’s team. Whilst 7 Harriers completed the race for the first time, super-vet and President of the Three Peaks Association, Bill Wade completed his 40th Three Peaks race, a staggering achievement, for which he was recognised at the prize giving. Only a handful of athletes have run the race more than 40 times in its 56 year history. Morgan Donnelly of Borrowdale won the race in a time of 3:02:34, over 4 minutes clear of Salford’s John Brown. Anna Lupton of Radcliffe AC defended her ladies title and ran an impressive 6 minutes faster this year, in 3:30:45. It was a great day out and thanks to all our supporters on the course!
