Social Events

AGM

The 2017 AGM will be held on Thursday 7th December at Caroline Street Social Club. The club run for that night will be from Caroline Street rather than Nuffield - in past years, this has been a set time out-and-back on the road to Bingley. All  Striders are encouraged to attend the AGM - a fantastic buffet will be provided and we have the largest room at the Social Club this year!
 
Christmas meal
This year's Christmas meal will be in the private function suite at The Aagrah, Shipley. This will take place on the evening of Saturday 16th December and will likely feature a beverage or two at Fanny's Ale House post-meal. More details will follow in due course.
 
Pie & Peas
The thoroughly ridiculous Strava-art, Christmas jumper and pie & peas night will take place on Thursday 21st December. Last year featured a wonky reindeer and an inappropriate snowman. A really fun night with pie & peas provided by the club and a chance to have a final run and drink together before Christmas. Again, more details will follow in due course.
 
Remember, every single one of you is a member of this running club. As such, you are all encouraged to attend any/all of the events! We hope to see lots of our newer runners joining the longer standing members to celebrate together during the festive period. We are all Saltaire Striders!
Away Runs

The last Tuesday of each month will continue to be an Away run from Esholt, with drinks afterwards in the Woolpack.
Club Welfare

The club welafre officer is Helen Brant.  If there is an accident/incident on a club training run then the relevant leader should complete an accident report form from the meets page on the club web site and report it to Helen.

However, Helen is not just interested in accidents she would also like to know about happier events within the Striders family (weddings, births, exam success, etc.) so that she can send  an appropriate gift from the members.  She will also send appropriate gifts for less happy events.

So if you know about something that is coming up or has happened which involves a fellow strider then please let Helen know about it.
Congratulations

To Pete Hopson and his wife and Chris Stott and Leashia Dickinson on their recent marriages.
 
Baildon No Watch race

Stuart Dunbars recipe for success ...

1) Don't run as fast you can but rather as slow as you like.
2) Avoid the racing line and don't cut any corners.
3) Do as many recce's of the course as you can as long as they are nothing like the real race.
4) Chat amiably with your fellow runners.
5) Stop for a toilet break half way round.
6) Don't sprint for the line but walk the last few metres.
I hope this is useful advice to some....

Farewell to Keith Abson

A lot of you won't know or appreciate that Keith Abson has been a member of the club for more than 25 years.  Keith has recently moved house and has decided to change clubs to join Rothwell Harriers.

Keith and I ran as pairs a few of times in the early 90s in the Yorkshireman Off-road marathon (when it was only open to pairs) the first one being nearer 28 miles than 26 and also the 33mile Haworth Hobble.  In 1992 we had a great run almost sprinting across Penistone Hill after 32 miles to get home in an Elite time of 4hrs 58m.

Keith also had a good turn of speed over 10k running 35:12 as a V40 in the Beckfield 10k which would give the likes of Graham Corbett and Matt Richardson a run for their money (note a young Quentin Lewis left in his wake).

We wish you well Keith and hopefully see you at the Peco races in the winter.

August Strider of the Month
Helen Western for her Marathon performance in Guernsey. I have been inspired by her training, particularly how she has upped her distance since starting at the club but also in her fantastic pace. Helen has also run in many of the Vets races, putting in the effort when the runs have been a distance to travel.
