We welcomed two new members to the club on Saturday and they can both be proud of their performances. Campbell Johns finished 17th in the M18 4Km, while 13 year old Jude Barrett finished 5th in the M14 race.

It was also good to see Noel White return to competitive racing.

Saturday’s event was about the experience with wine tasting, a coffee van, food and music as well as a tough course rolling through the St Anne’s vineyard.

Our Open men’s team was dominated by Liam Adams (9th place 25:18) but was then filled with five over 45 year olds! Where are our young runners? Of our 17 runners, only Liam and Charlotte Wilson were between 20 and 40.
