This year's event will be on Saturday 22nd November at Drumpellier Park Coatbridge. As usual I will require the names of two club members to help with stewarding. If you are not racing that day, please let me know if you are available to help out.

Village Tandoori Wins BUT.......
The poll to select a venue for the Christmas night out has been won by the Village Tandoori. However, in the past week whilst we have been running the poll, the restaurant has become fully booked on the planned date of Saturday 13th December. Therefore we have made a booking for Friday 12th December instead. Limited places available and we need to gather deposits of £7 per person this week. Genevieve will collect the money on Monday or Thursday at the club or hand the money into the shop. To recap, the details are as follows:
What: 3 courses (tandoori and European food)+ entertainment(karaoke/disco/live [?] depends what night)
Total Cost: £18.95

Glasgow University 5 mile Road Race
Only three harriers turned up for the 5 mile race, although to be fair it was the week before Brampton. There were perfect racing conditions but the course threw up one big problem. A large gate that was supposed to be opened to let the runners through, was closed. This meant that the runners had to squeeze through a small gap when they were still in large packs. Having talked to the club president, we've agreed that this should result in taking 10 seconds of the times, so here they are.
First for the Harriers was Stuart Gibson continuing his great form finishing in 27:01(really 26:51). Next representing Strathclyde University Harriers was Stephen Reilly, finishing in 30:06 (29:56). And finally the club president, Chas Stevens returned to his former university to race and finished in 41:18 (41:08).
Well done!!

Eddie's Half Marathon
Some of the Harrier's made the journey up to Fort William to run and support Colin Jarvie in Eddie's Half Marathon. Colin was running to raise money for Project Ability and ran a great time of 1:49:20. Some of the other Harrier's who took part included Scot Hill and Eddie Reid, who after running the Allan Scally the day before, finished in respectable times of 1:26:30 and 1:27:52.
The top performance of the day though was Sandra Reid who was 2nd vet 40, and managed to take around 8 minutes off her former PB to finish in 1:40:01. A thanks goes out to Frances Maxwell who put in a great performance cheering in the runners.
Well done to all!!
Allan Scally Road Relay Results
In stark contrast to the previous week at Cumbernauld, perfect weather conditions greeted the large Harriers' contingent in Baillieston this Saturday. Many Harriers continued to demonstrate fine form with pb's over the traditional 4.8 mile course.
Alison Crooks made her relay season debut with a fine first leg time for the ladies of 35:38, handing over to Mary Goldsmith who took 3 minutes off last year's time finishing in 34:32. Frances Maxwell completed the women's team with a time of 32:18, two minutes faster than last year and bringing the team home in 9th position overall, and 3rd non-university club team.
Calderglen fielded 4 men's teams. Young gun Stuart Gibson found the weather conditions more to his liking this week, to the extent that he actually turned up for the race and in the process set a massive pb of 25:18 on leg 1 (9th position). Calderglen's tight "mid-field" battle continued with Stephen Phimister (30:23) setting a competitive time on his first Scally. Eddie Reid set a time of 29:42, slightly down on last year and handed on to Jim Holmes (30:36) who took half a minute off compared to last year and brought the team home in 23rd position.
The B team comprised all Calderglen's faster vets, with Davy Watt leading off in a very competitive time of 25:52, 11th position and leading vets team. Scot Hill kept the club in the hunt with a time of 28:22, also a substantial pb. This left the team lying 2nd in the vets race. Jamie McMonagle maintained this position (28:09) and left final leg runner Alan Derrick a 1:37 gap to close on the leading vets team from home club Shettleston Harriers. A lonely run ensued with Alan only seeing, closing down and passing 1 runner on the long Edinburgh road stretch and 2 more in the final 200m but unfortunately his time of 26:43 and 12th overall was not fast enough to catch the veteran leaders who finished one place and 32 seconds ahead.
Calderglen's C team was very closely matched: David Herbertson with a massive pb (30:31), George Stewart (31:25), Ian Rae (31:00) and Gerry Mullen (31:59). Our incomplete D team comprised Kenny Beattie (33:59), making his relay debut Richard Lawton (37:16) and Graham Allan (34:49).
Making his debut for Strathclyde University Harriers, Stephen Reilly also ran a pb of 29:04.
