On Sunday 29th December, a select group of Striders gathered at Eccup Reservoir for the annual Winter Handicap. Dressed as rugby players, chefs, superheroes and a penguin, they battled the muddy paths around Eccup – a startling sight for any passing walkers and their dogs. Congratulations to Mike Powell who won the handicap trophy. Many thanks to Melanie Midgley, Ellen, Richard and Lucy Adcock, who came to witness our tribute to Terry and Matthew. Thanks also to Rick Sunderland, Kathy Robbins, Paul Sanderson, Andy Wicks, Philip Lim, Ian Sanderson, Steph Gledhill, Vernon Long and Joel and Kathryn Giddings for marshalling, timekeeping and taking photographs. The Spring Handicap will be in May when the evenings are a little lighter.
* Alan ran off an estimated handicap so was ineligible to win the trophy, while Clive conceded the trophy to Mike as the first finisher in fancy dress.Related Posts
