Mendip Muddle - Your Club Needs You - Volunteers NeededThe 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
Bryan Morley

Hello, If you drink Lucozade Sport then Asda has it for 1.74 for 4xbottles which is a bargain.
I don't think you understood the gravity of the situation Gareth!
Video to follow takes about a week!
Glad it finally happened this time Gareth!! Hope there's a suitably dramatic photo of you looking petrified!?!
Well done Gareth. Just how petrified were you as you fell out of the plane?
Well done Gareth! Fantastic achievement :)

Mark Jones if your out there could you give me a ring on 07793046391 if you read this before Saturday lunch time! Cheers
I second that - excellent BBQ and run, despite the weather trying its best to dampen our spirits!! A huge thank you to Roger and Val.
PS - did Kevin REALLY only manage only 2 desserts?!? What a light-weight!!
Many thanks to Roger and family for a fantastic run and BBQ last night. The light drizzle just kept us cool for a very pleasant run and the food and hospitality were second to none as usual!

**** 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.

Just to say I completed the Sunday run without injury, Adrian said that all hospital leave was cancelled and the emergency services were on full alert. Fortunately I stayed on my feet and enjoyed a pleasant run with the gang.

Martin - no worries best to rest it. Hope it's not too serious. If anyone else needs a lift to Standish give me a shout on 525174 or 07504689671.
Josh,
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.
Friday 13 August 2010
Anyone want my entry for Standish on Sunday? Drop me a line if interested.

Thanks to Mr Noble for a cracking social run tonight. Well done also to Vodka for a fine selection of cake too. Rumour has it that there was a Victoria sponge on offer but there wasn't any left by the time I got there. I wondered why Kevin was looking so smug!
Wednesday 11 August 2010
Sadly I won't be there either due to work, good luck in the 5k and thanks again Vodka for cheffing up my share of WADA banned comestibles!
Disco, that was a one time thing and it was meant to just be between us
Regretfully I shan't be there tomorrow to sample your cakes (Burnham 5k)I'm sure they'll be delightful though
Ginge .... don't big up the cakes too much!! Delia (aka Ken) is off on a jolly ooop North so the tasty offerings will be made by my own fair hands (with a sprinkling of B12 & maybe a dash of EPO for a little added va va voom!!)
"run it dressed as Han Solo"...mmm tight leather trousers...
Is anyone planning on running the Uphill to Wells relay on Saturday 25th September?
You can enter between 1 & 6 runners for the 29 mile route. I'm probably going to run it solo and just wondered if anyone else was?
Cheers

**** SUMMER SOCIAL THURSDAY 12 AUGUST ****
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.
Dave
Well Done Bryan at the Isle of man! Update on skydive now rebooked for 22 August. Fingers crossed for good weather!

**** 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.
