NEXT JOB FOR THE MOB - THIS SATURDAY!
After a record home turnout of 117 in this season's first mob match and a
record away turnout of 92 in the second mob match, where do we go from here?
On to the third, of course! This coming Saturday, 12th December, we are away
to South London Harriers on their downsland course at Coulsdon. We have now
won an unprecedented nine mob matches in a row, so can we make it ten? Of
course we can! South London will be no pushovers, mind, but if we can get
another good turnout and outnumber our hosts, then that's half the battle.
The course is the traditional 7.5 miles, beginning and ending with half a
mile across the expanse of Farthing Downs. In between come two laps around
the optimistically named Happy Valley. Parts of the course are fast
grassland, but in other places there will be mud, so trail shoes or spikes
are advised. Register on the day. Start time is 2.30pm. Be part of the Blue
Wave!
Coulsdon South station is conveniently placed for the SLH headquarters and
our men's Captain Phil Killingley has suggested we travel mob-handed by
train. Phil writes:
"Meet on Platform 13 at Clapham Junction at 12:50. This is to catch the mob
train - the 12:59, changing onto platform 5 at East Croydon, arriving 13:31
at Coulsdon South.
If you miss that, go for the 13:13 or the 13:29. All three trains leave
Clapham Junction Platform 13 and then you change onto platform 5 at East
Croydon.
The clubhouse is a 5-10min walk from the station and the course is 5-10min
walk in the opposite direction from the station, so if you're in a hurry
don't bother with the clubhouse."
If you're driving, there is a large pay and display car park in Lion Green
Road, just around the corner from the SLH headquarters. If you're late there
is limited parking on Downs Road, close to the start. A map showing the SLH
HQ and the start can be found on their website here:. Our own
website has further details here:.
CHRISTMAS PARTY - LONDON MARATHON BALLOT and FUND RASING FOR PETE'S SAKE
Many thanks go to Michele Gibson and Andy Hayward for organising an
excellent sell-out Christmas Party last Saturday at The Lass of Richmond
Hill. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves. During the evening we held the
ballot for our guaranteed London Marathon places. We were allocated only two
places this year, and there was a record sixteen names in the hat. Lucky
winners were Paul Wapshott and Ted Mockett. Get training boys!
There was also a raffle and silent auction to raise money for Pete Wright's
ongoing cancer treatment, and thanks go to Anna Reichwald, Hannah Doyle,
Cindy Croucher and Ellen Clague for organising this. Anna writes: "A huge
thank you to everyone who donated, bought tickets and supported the Raffle
and Silent Auction for Pete held at the Club's Christmas dinner on Saturday
5th December. It was lovely to see Pete and Jackie there and in total the
Club raised a huge £1,080. This will be pledged over onto Pete's YouCaring
webpage. Thank you RH Runners on behalf of Pete for all your support and
generosity."
CHECK YOUR ENGLAND ATHLETICS REGISTRATION
A new feature on the England Athletics website enables individuals to check
their EA registration. Go to livemyathletics.uka.org.uk/LicenceCheck/
and enter either your registration number (if you know it) or your name and
date of birth. Press "Search" and it should come back with your registration
number and an indication of whether your registration is up to date. We have
generally not registered members who are non-competitive. If your
registration is shown as not up to date, this may be an oversight on our
part or it might mean that according to our records your club subscription
for 2015-16 has not been paid. Please check, and if you think your
registration should have been paid, please get in touch. Note that most
championship races require up to date registration of all entrants, so if
you are planning on running the Southern or the National any registration
queries must be dealt with quickly. Note also that if you have been
previously registered with another club, we are unable to take over your
registration payments. You first need to go through the formal "change of
club" procedure. Download the form for this here:.

SEAA INTER-COUNTIES CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 12th December at Biggleswade.
Good luck to Megan de Silva and Julia Bailey who have been selected as team
member and reserve respectively for Surrey in the Senior Women's race, and
to Poppy Jensen of Stragglers and Ranelagh who is in the under 13s team.
COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS
We will be entering teams and individuals in the Surrey County Championships
as usual - they take place this year at Denbies Vineyard, Dorking, on
SUNDAY 10th January. However, this year we will also be entering individuals
in the Middlesex Championships, which take place the day before at Wormwood
Scrubs. There are races for all age groups in both events. To be eligible
for Surrey you need to have been born in Surrey/South West London or to have
lived there for nine months. The same qualifying conditions apply to
Middlesex county, which is defined as "the London boroughs of Brent, Camden,
Ealing, Enfield, Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Haringey, Harrow,
Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea, Richmond (north of
the River Thames), Tower Hamlets, Westminster and the City of London." All
Championship races require entry well in advance, so contact the
captains/team managers if you'd like to be entered.
SOUTH OF ENGLAND CHAMPIONSHIPS
Although these don't take place until Saturday January 30th, the entry
deadline is approaching. The venue is Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath and
there are races for men and women and junior age groups. Late entries are
not accepted. So if you'd like to run please contact the captains/team
managers as soon as possible.
HENTY RELAY Saturday 26th December in Richmond Park
Need a break from the festivities and the over-indulgence? Come along to our
Christmas fun relay on Saturday 26th! All members, relatives and friends are
welcome, all ages and all speeds. Start time is 12 noon but you must come to
the clubhouse by 11.30 to be allocated a team.
THAMES HARE & HOUNDS RACES
David Symons from Thames sends details of some events that might be of
interest to us:
"Second Sunday 5 Series - next race 13 December. Thames have launched a
regular, low key, five mile race on Wimbledon Common on the second Sunday of
every month at 9.30am from the Thames clubhouse. It's a good, traditional,
run which gives some fast paced running or just to add a bit of spice as
part of those pre-marathon long runs. Entry's just £3 and that pays for the
free tea and cake afterwards. Our next run is on 13 December and has a
festive theme to it. 2016 will see runs every Second Sunday - as the name
suggests! Full details at www.secondsunday5.com.
The Dash For The Splash - 28 February 2016. Thames's popular 'brook-themed'
10k is back for a third time, raising funds for nature conservation on
Wimbledon Common. The race was full last year and we're expecting this to be
the same in 2016. Full details at www.dashforthesplash.com."
SUBSCRIPTIONS...
...for 2015-16 are well overdue but there are still quite a few active
members who have not yet paid. The club is unable to register you with
England Athletics unless your subs are paid up. Despite the increase in the
EA registration fee to £12, we are keeping our subscription rates unchanged
for at least another year. That's £40 for seniors, £20 for second-claim
members and those who are retired and over 60, £10 for under 20s and
students and non-running members. There is also a £70 family membership.
Post your cheque to Membership Secretary, Ranelagh Harriers, 135a Petersham
Road, Richmond, Surrey TW10 7AA or leave it in an envelope at the clubhouse.
A Standing Order form is available from our website here: . For Bank Transfers, our
account is at HSBC, sort code 40-23-29, account number 81109847; please add
a message, for example SubscriptionJSmith. For any queries, e-mail the

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
MOB MATCH v THAMES HARE & HOUNDS Saturday 28th November on Wimbledon Common
Phil Killingley reports:
"If you were one of the relatively few wearing a black Saltire on your white
vest, there must have been a grim inevitability about lining up in the boggy
Memorial playing fields, alongside an army of Amber and Blue vests roaring
the Hobble Gobble chant. 92 of us it was, to 39 of them. Game over? Not
quite. Thames have a tradition of getting runners out at the sharp end, and
before the match a number of people were worrying about this.
This was a great course. Lots of rain in the last week made it pretty boggy
underfoot. On top of that, storms had felled two trees on the course that
had to be climbed over (or hurdled for the more athletic). Throw in the
stream, the Butts, a fresh crosswind and a fast section at the top, and it
had the makings of a classic.
Thames managed to hold their own for a bit. They had 5 in the first 10 and
10 in 20. But fast forward now to the clubhouse after the race. The Thames
captain had finished compiling the results and came up to acknowledge
defeat.
Him: 'What really won it for you was this' (points at a string of Ranelagh
runners on the results sheet between positions 50 and 60).
Me: 'Yes, there's a technical term for that - it's known as a blue wave.'
Him: 'Ah...'
Looking more closely, it turns out that of the 33 runners from positions 49
to 81, 29 were ours. An awesome blue wave, led by Rich Astley in a great
first run for the club and brought home by Simon Hedger.
There was a good omen too, for those paying very close attention. Clive
Naish turned up to get a number from Alan. Clive has the longest sequence of
consecutive mob matches of anyone in the club. I suggested we give him the
corresponding number for his vest, but not even Clive knew how many he had
done. So he got the next available number in the pile - 126. By sheer
coincidence, this turned out to be exactly how many mob matches Clive had
completed in a row. (And now he has 127).
Well done to Jon Pepper for his win, and Jackson Creegan for being only five
seconds behind in second - both were superb. Megan de Silva was first lady,
and Laura Blazey in her first run for Ranelagh was third. At the other end
of our mob, respect goes to Tony Clark, Steve Rowland and Umberto Grieco for
enduring the mud longer than anyone else! (Ed's note: Don't rub it in - have
you never heard of the Duke of Plaza-Toro?) (Ed's other note: Umberto was
enjoying himself so much that he ran an extra couple of miles). And
congratulations to the not insignificant number of you somewhere in between!
Most ever mob appearances here:. See where you
are! David Wright extended his tally to 162 yesterday. Each of the 'top
four' all timers were there - David, Steve Rowland (141), Mike Peace (131)
and Clive (129). Further down, Chris Owens completed 75 matches in the
Orion race (and now 76); Andy Bickerstaff reached 75 today; Chris Camacho
reached 40.
Roll on SLH in two weeks' time (Sat 12 December, 2.30pm) when we attempt to
make it 10 in a row. Details of the Ranelagh mob team train to Coulsdon from
Clapham Junction are above! I might need to get in touch with Southern
trains to lay on a few extra carriages at this rate!"
Following on from our all-time record mob match turn-out of 117 at home to
Orion, our muster of 92 today also set a record as our biggest ever mob for
an away match.
Later on a couple of dozen sat down to an excellent supper at Thames's old
headquarters at the King's Head in Roehampton, where for once we were
outnumbered by our hosts.
LONDON YOUTH GAMES Saturday 14th November at Parliament Hill
As well as those reported in the last e-news, we had one additional Ranelagh
junior in the Under 11s race: this was Maisie Jensen, who finished an
excellent third in 6.03, six seconds behind the winner.
JUNIOR MARATHON RELAY Saturday 21st November in Richmond Park
Colin Brett reports:
"It was a dark and stormy morning as thirteen Ranelagh juniors toed the line
for this year's effort to improve our Marathon Relay record of 2.57.15.
Fortunately several hardy parents joined the fun and worked almost as hard
as the children to keep them all warm enough to complete the challenge.
As if 1 degree temperatures weren't cold enough by the time the strong winds
joined in it was a bitter battle. Fortunately the youthful coaching staff
brought lots of post marathon space blankets. I'm fairly confident at least
one of them had Apollo 8 mission written on it. These were placed at each of
the changeover points and athletes duly wrapped as they finished each
sprint.
Minutes ticked by as speeds lulled in the middle of the challenge, so it was
great to see the speeds and efforts pick up as we got closer and closer to
our target. If you think this is an easy challenge it really isn't, think
interval session, each athlete sprints 200 meters approximately 18 times.
Being Harriers it all has to be done off road so we use a slightly shortened
version of the Ratchford Relay course. I'm very pleased to report our hardy
heroes and heroines came in with a time of 2.55.35. Pizza, cake and hot
chocolate at the club house helped revive some very cold runners. Our team
was Mat, Oliver, Sam, Daniel, Harvey, Noah, Luke, Poppy, Maisie, Dillon,
Jasmine, Aidan and Finn."
