 RANELAGH CUP SCHOOLS RACE  Saturday 11th March in Richmond Park at 2.30pm
 Ten or so schools are expected to take part. Judd School from Kent are the
 holders.

 CLUTTON CUP 10 miles HANDICAP  Saturday 18th March in Richmond Park. 2pm
 start
 This is our longest handicap race, two laps of five miles, and dates back to
 1883. All are welcome, register at the clubhouse by 1.30pm for a 2pm start.
 Please be aware that there will be minimal marshalling for this race,....so
 it's best that you know the course or follow someone who does! Details and
 course map are on our website here:. The course begins our usual
 way, i.e. down to the bottom of Queen's Ride. It then takes a half turn to
 the left and loops round Spankers Hill. So far this is identical to our
 familiar mob match course. The 5 miles route diverges after the steep
 downhill at the back of Spankers Hill. Instead of turning sharp right and
 climbing back up the hill, it simply follows round the edge of the wood and
 then heads straight down towards the causeway between the two Pen Ponds.
 Immediately before the Ponds the course turns left through the trees and
 uphill away from the Ponds. It crosses a road and horse ride as it climbs.
 Two right turns follow in quick succession, taking the course back downhill
 to the end of the Pond Plantation. From there it's a climb up to Whiteash
 Lodge then a right turn through the woods until the Sidmouth Wood fence is
 rejoined for the run in to the finish.      

 BAKER CUP 3 miles ROAD HANDICAP  Saturday 1st April in Richmond Park (by
 White Lodge)

 CALLING ALL RANELAGH JUNIORS
 Trevor Maguire writes:
 "Ranelagh Junior Age Group Champs 
 Following on from last week's junior race, the good news for many of our
 junior runners is that we will hold a further Ranelagh only race at 14:00 on
 Sat 1st April in Richmond Park (before the Baker Cup) where there are
 several other trophies and medals up for grabs.  The start finish will be
 near the ballet school in the middle of the park.  We are currently debating
 the exact distance and whether we will run just one or more races.  I will
 confirm details nearer the time. We have trophies for boys and girls in each
 of the following age categories (with gold, silver and bronze medals as
 well): U17 (boys and girls), U15 (boys and girls), U13 (boys and girls), U11
 (boys and girls). The age categories align with school years i.e. age on 1st
 Sep is the qualification date.  This time some of our older juniors aren't
 eligible but they can always enter the Baker Cup 3 miles road handicap at
 15:00 (alongside any parents who might want a run)."   

 Also...the joint Stragglers/Ranelagh junior handicap series begins on
 Thursday 27th April. There are six events altogether, the first taking place
 at the Hawker Centre and subsequent events at the Ranelagh clubhouse or at
 the Hawker Centre. Registration is from 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Full details:.

 WHAT'S HAPPENED
 *************** 
 NATIONAL CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS  Saturday 25th February at Wollaton
 Park, Nottingham
 Peter Haarer reports on the men's race:
 "The very pleasant surroundings of Wollaton Park never disappoint as a venue
 for cross country, and this year was no exception.  There were four laps
 but, unlike most courses with multiple laps, this year's race organisers
 ensured that each was different by arranging them in size order: "extra
 small", "medium", "large", and "extra-large".  Moreover, not only did the
 laps increase in length but they also increased in difficulty, so the last
 lap was not only the longest but also the hardest, incorporating an extra
 'up and down' and the joy of a prolonged tussocky bog just as the finish was
 nigh at hand (should that be 'foot'?).  Another unexpected feature was the
 mud.  Veterans of previous events at Nottingham have generally returned home
 with scarcely a speck of dirt to show, so it was a puzzle to arrive and see
 survivors from early races plastered from head to toe in dark, pungent,
 primordial slime.  The main culprits were revealed to be a shallow but
 unleapable water-filled ditch that developed a fill of brown porridge as the
 day wore on, and a couple of stretches of black, noisome filth - all of
 which would be encountered in every lap.  At least the weather was dry -
 that is until someone said, 'I thought that rain was promised for 3.00pm
 this afternoon?' - at which prompt the Weather God dutifully obliged with a
 wintry shower just before the start. 

 And so a magnificent Ranelagh seven ventured forth.  Details of individual
 derring-do were hard to make out in the mêlée, but there were fine runs from
 Ben Anderson (81st), who takes home the Roffey Salver, and from Richard
 Gregory (97th), who achieved his best age-graded performance to date for
 Ranelagh in an away fixture.  Ben and Richard also secured club honours
 easily despite the strength in depth of the field.  The rest of the Ranelagh
 team followed some way further back, Peter Haarer completing his 22nd
 National, Dave Lawley continuing his hunt for the McLeod Trophy, Vaughan
 Ramsay and Peter Weir making up the scoring side (all six finishing neatly
 in alphabetical order), and Mike Peace as our final man home.  The course
 was excellent for spectating and the men were extremely grateful for the
 generous support given throughout.

 Finally, we must not forget our second claim members: Jon Pepper, running
 for Brighton Phoenix, who finished an amazing 40th, Jake Waldron, running
 for Newham and Essex Beagles who finished 128th and Jackson Creegan, running
 for Gateshead, who finished 203rd."

 In the women's race it was Nic Jackson who led the way for Ranelagh in a
 fine 53rd place. With Laura Blazey, Julia Bailey and Rebecca Northmore all
 following up in the 200s the result was an excellent 25th place for our
 women's team. Becky Curtis-Hall, Karen Weir, Heather Martingell and Emma
 Wellham provided the backup should any of the front four falter, and all
 finished well up in a field of nearly 800.

 Lexi Keech was our sole representative in the junior races and was well
 inside the top half of the field of 426 in the Under 15 girls.

 INTER-CLUB incl JOHN ELLIS CUP and DYSART CUP and CLUB JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
 Saturday 4th March in Richmond Park
 This event is five races in one. First, it's senior inter-club races for the
 John Ellis Cup (male) and the Dysart Cup (female) held over two laps of our
 men's League course - that is, 5.55 miles. Starting together with the
 seniors was a junior race over one lap - 2.74 miles. This was our club
 junior championship for the Lotinga Cup (male) and the Camilla Cup (female),
 and also included a junior sealed handicap for the Jack Ellicock Trophy. We
 introduced the junior event a few years ago in a small way, but its
 popularity has grown to the extent that we had a total of 53 juniors taking
 part this year from just three clubs - ourselves, Hercules Wimbledon AC and
 The Stragglers. 

 In the senior race it was a clear victory for Carl Selya-Hammer, after he
 had fought his way past the over-enthusiastic sprinting youngsters! Nick
 Impey and vets Peter Haarer and Steve Whitehead gave us the first four home
 which put us in the driving seat as far as team scoring was concerned. It
 was 8 a side to count and our team was completed by Dave Lawley, Jonathan
 Smith, Richard Kimber and Mark Herbert, all in the top 17. We duly retained
 the John Ellis Cup with 55 points to 99 for the Milocarians and 146 for The
 Stragglers. Hercules Wimbledon fell just short of the required eight men,
 though they did include in their number the former National champion Dave
 Clarke.  In the women's race, Nic Jackson won by an extraordinary three and
 a half minutes, but The Stragglers were unopposed in the team competition
 for the Dysart Cup.          

 The juniors apparently enjoyed running with the senior race before peeling
 off to finish after one lap. The Stragglers provided the first two home but
 Hercules Wimbledon made up for their shortfall in the senior event by
 fielding no fewer than 26 junior runners. We fielded 15 and The Stragglers
 had a round dozen. We made the team scoring a mini-mob match of ten to score
 and Hercules Wimbledon comfortably walked away with the match ahead of
 Ranelagh and The Stragglers. Our first finisher, 3rd overall, was 18
 year-old Tom Bradley and he retained the Lotinga Cup as club Junior Men's
 Champion. Second, only half a minute behind Tom, was another Tom, under 13
 Tom Armstrong, while third was another under 13 Euan Sinclair. The club
 Junior Women's Championship for the Camilla Cup was won by Jess Harbert, who
 was almost a minute clear of Emily Coulson with Ellie Luxmoore a further
 minute back. The sealed handicap was won by Frida Roper, with Nathaniel Bond
 in second place and Tom Armstrong third. A special mention for Josie Kearey
 who unluckily missed the medals by finishing fourth in both the championship
 and the handicap.

 CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOUNDARY RUN MARATHON  Sunday 26th February
 Jarryd Hillhouse writes on Facebook:
 "The worst race I have run. Poor marshalling (or the lack thereof) and
 hardly any signage. At mile 24/25 I was on course for a 4:10, but missed a
 turn, eventually ended  up running 50km. Not impressed at all." To add
 insult to injury, Jarryd does not appear in the results!

 FINALLY... 
 From Inside Croydon
 Shock, horror, and barely disguised disgust among the demure "ladies who
 lunch" in Selsdon and Ballards after "outrageous" behaviour - outrageous, no
 less - following a cross-country race in Lloyd Park a fortnight ago. There
 were even mutterings of refunds having to be made to unhappy customers. The
 Parklife Cafe near the Lloyd Park tram stop has been doing a good trade
 since it opened at the end of last year. But on busy, sporty Saturdays it
 has found itself over-run on occasions by some of the participants. This is
 not an issue with the well-dressed participants in the parkrun which starts
 and finishes outside the cafe each Saturday morning.
 Inside Croydon  Nor is it much of a problem even with the footballers
 who turn up for their match and manage to enjoy the pies and pasties in the
 cafe after their game without the FA ever having to call in the betting
 fraud squad. But there were shocking scenes after the staging of a Surrey
 League cross-country fixture for some of south London's leading distance
 runners in Lloyd Park a fortnight ago.

 "There were grown men in here standing around in their underpants," one
 witness to the lewd goings-on told Inside Croydon, "They seem to regard the
 place as their clubhouse. The changing rooms are only 10 yards away." The
 unprecedented scenes so upset a party of more demure women from the better
 part of the borough that one of them actually spilt her tea. Strong words
 have been had with the parks department at the council, and a request has
 gone out to cross-country runners ahead of the next fixture to consider
 other customers when ordering their sausage. And buns. Dog-friendly Parklife
 Cafe, which has received a series of excellent reviews since it opened in
 December, maintains a welcome to all walkers, joggers, runners and casual
 passers-by, seven days a week, from breakfast time to tea. Though the
 management does request that patrons keep their trousers on at all times.
