The Almosts found themselves dispersed over the South West last weekend, as no fewer than five events proved alluring: At the Bourton 10K Dave McGrath returned to his brilliant best in 37.48, Gareth Edwards got a PB of 38.44 and Dale Midwinter was 1 second over 40 minutes. Michelle Carroll was 3rd LV40 in 41.25. At the Weston Tough Ten Ingrid Harris attacked the challenging course in 1:18, with Allan Green, John Bailey and Steve Adams hot on her heels. Wales was the location for Mark Willicott's stunning 6 hour 10 minute run at the austere Llanelli 40. Dave Elliott finished in around seven hours.

Biting cold and driving rain were brushed aside by Ingrid Harris and Allan Green at the Meon Valley Plod near Portsmouth last week. Ingrid finished as third lady in 3 hours and 43 minutes. At the inaugural Cheltenham Park Run Sheree Molenaar was first overall lady, with Oliver Bell as first male from the club. Stopping the watch at just over twenty minutes were John Hill, Dave McGrath, Karen Galpin and Johanna Bogle.
