I'm confused on many levels Josh, but how does one cycle down a strawberry?

If ever you are out cycling along the strawberry there is a brillaint cafe halfway between Sandford and Congresbury that does a mean bacon butty!

Ah Disco, I thought you had become a confused young man...
I was going to ditch the barbour in favour of top hat & tails for the Sedgmoor 10K but looks like I will have to dig out my muzzle instead now :-O)
Have a good one at Pewsey and look foward to seeing you on the Mendips soon.

There's room for 2 others if anyone else wants a lift down to Langport on Sunday. Drop me a line or give me a call on 830109 if interested.

You are quite right champ, after last nights showing I won't disgrace the massive with my presence, i will exile myself to the badlands of Pewsey Vale and redouble my efforts...physio tonight extracted a fair amount of pain from my leg and foot, let's hope it did something useful
understand "the kid" will be sporting plus-fours, a deer stalker and carrying a shooting stick at Langport this weekend...

Alas wont be able to join you on sunday, chasing around somerset in my year long pursuit of a pair of socks. But judging by last nights performance Disco i would suggest you need to make the effort and join up with the massive... Big well done to the Lambrini kid for his performance last night.

Mike, drop me an e-mail with your address on it if you still need someone to pick up the cakes. Seeing as I (Sarah) will be doing the other half of the baking it makes sense to keep them altogether.
Yeah sorry about that Disco, poor form I know, how very inconsiderate of my friends to Christen their baby on the same day as a half marathon! I've already had appropriately strong words with them

Might pop along to listen to Victor's moans this weekend as Marc has dipped out of the Pewsey Half, unless anyone fancies coming to Pewsey?

SPORTS BAGS the FINAL HIT LIST The following 27 members have ordered a bag back in April 2010 but not collected to date, so if not claimed I will get rid of them on the first come first served policy.
They are;---- Toby Andrews, Alan Chick, Phil Doughty, Charlotte, Jo, Sam & Mark Gray, Phil Greedy, Ginnie Hayes, Jim Hayward, Mark Hill, Pete Jones, Chris Main, Kevin Minty, Barry Mitchell, James Morrissey, Mike Potter, Phil Richards, Mathew Rushton, Lizzie Samuel, Wayne Somers, Dave Stock, Glenda Toach, John Western, Matt Washbrook and the Wilsons (Belinda & Mark).
We cant afford for these quality bags rot in my garage so the Deadline for collection is the first PROM RACE (16 September 2010) when I will bring the bags with me to the race. You can collect from my home if you want to sure and get yours. Phone 414361. DAVE

**** SUMMER SOCIAL - THURSDAY ****
The Old Manor, Queensway, Kewstoke
This Thursday's social heads off from the Old Manor and will include plenty of on and off road running.
A prompt start at 7pm will see us back in sufficient light so torches are not likely to be needed this year.
Please do not park in the Pub Car Park - this is a busy restaurant/pub and we do not want to affect their busines ( especially after complaints last year ....oooops! )
And don't forget we have the pleasure of Gareth H's and King Kev's Cakes.
See you there...

Mendip Muddle - Your Club Needs You - Volunteers Needed
The Mendip Muddle race is just over six weeks away and the time has come to ask (and beg!) Weston AC members, their friends, family and random people they meet on the street, to help with organisation and marshalling duties associated with this event.
To that end, please can I ask you to email me, using one of the links below, if you would be prepared to help out as a member of the organising committee, a helper on the day or both. Please supply your name and contact telephone number in the email. We cannot host this event without the generous support of WAC and RNLI volunteers so please get in contact as soon as you can.
The wages are not great, just a cup of tea and a slice of cake, but think of the sense of enormous well being knowing that you are helping to raise money for charity and putting on a challenging fell race for our running colleagues.
Many thanks

**** CAMPING THIS WEEKEND ****
Can everyone who is camping this weekend at Wimbleball lake please let me know if you are interested in Kayaking.
Geri, Neale and the Cowells (4+1) are planning a group session and it is likely we will need to book sooner rather than later. If you would like to join us let me know before I call the lake on Wednesday.
It would also be useful to know who is coming anyway.

As you've probably guessed, I won't be heading up to Standish tomorrow. I've got a very tight hamstring that I'm hoping is not strained. Too many hills recently, I think. Have a good 'un.

This weeks run is from the Old Inn, Walton Rd, Clevedon. Adrian Noble has sorted out a good run and we have Cakes from Disco and Vodka ( Dave and Claudine ) so well worth the trundle up the motorway. The weather forecast looks good so cakes should be outside/car park.
The Pub has a reasonable car park, but car share if you can and try not to block up the car park.

**** CAMPING EVENT .. 20/21/22 AUGUST ****
WIMBLEBALL LAKE COUNTRY PARK
NEAR DULVERTON
SOMERSET
TA22 9NU
Just a reminder about an impromptu camping weekend at Wimbleball Lake.
There is a campsite at the lake, google WIMBLEBALL CAMPING for website and what is available including cafe, watersports, etc and how to book ( phone or email the cafe).
The general plan is to have:
an organised run (probably around the lake) probably Saturday afternoon or evening,
a group bike ride (off road bikes) suggested Sunday morning,
and opportunity to use the watersports facilities at the lake (depending on who goes, we could organise a group activity) Saturday and Sunday.
..and this will remain flexible along with other self generated/inflicted activities although midnight rugby or caravan rocking may be not well received by all campers :o)
Recommendation is to book early ( especially watersports as you could be disappointed ) and if camping, mention WESTON AC or WESTON RUNNERS. 14 pounds per night per pitch ( inc 2 adults) and no deposit is required but if you book and then cannot make it then please let them and me know.
Please email me if you are going and booked in.
I have spoken to the campsite and asked if WAC members could be grouped together, this is possible in their overflow field, but bear in mind this is slightly sloping but ok, grass only and no electricity, whilst there are no guarantees of weather or access to watersports, I am sure we will have fun.
