Following out AGM on Saturday our committee is all but complete. There is only one place in the team that has yet to be filled. We need someone to fill the role of “Communications Officer”. It means posting events, news and results on our website, facebook (and other social media) and getting them into the local press.
We are a busy club and we rely on members getting information and reports to our “Comms Officer” for collation and publishing.
This popular New Years Eve race was run by 27 BRJers. Conditions were surprisingly good and 4 PB's were secured by Daniel Mitton, Chirag Godhania, Alice Synge and Sarah Watts. Team BRJ was led home by the increasingly speedy Daniel Mitton, and the ladies were led by Anna Douglas. Obviously the bag piper did his job well at the 9th kilometre, encouraging everyone up the hill! And a nice packet of crisps and a beer made a nice change in lieu of the usual medal. An enjoyable event, well done everyone.
The night before Frostbite, speculation on social media centered around whether BRJ would be uniquely well placed to swim the frostbite course on the Sunday morning. However, as the sun came up and the mist lifted, conditions underfoot were surprisingly firm.
BRJer David Hudson wins again at Bedford half marathon. He came in with a time of 1.14.04 on this notoriously difficult course. This rounds up a third race win for David in 3 weeks. He is taking a well deserved break until 2017 now. Congratulations again!
