Congratulations
to Rab Murray and Mossie the dog who took part in the 4th running of
the BHR nite run on 27th Feb, finishing in times of 1:30:44 and
1:30:43 respectively.
Rab says he was really chuffed when he
arrived at the car park to find loads of people there, thinking at
last the club has come out in force. It turned out it was the Scouts
on nite manouevers; still Rab and Mossy got a heros sent off at tthe
start line!. Lack of full moon had a an affect on the time , but
blown trees over the path near the end had the runners all over the
place !
Rab asked to remind everyone that prize giving is in
April after #5 bhr nite, the fastest dog spot is gone , so is best
vet man , senior man is in the balance , the female vet and senoir
spots are there to be claimed.
BHR #4 nite its on good friday
after sunset - all you need is a head torch and a bit off
care.
Well done to Rab the nite
runner!

Steve Waites
has been busy checking out locations for a GRR road trip, and would
like to gauge interest in a trip to Groningen in the north of
Holland.
On the 21st September there will be a full marathon,
half marathon and 10K, something for everyone, and I'm sure there
will be plenty of cafe's open for those who don't even want to
run!
You can check out the city and marathon site
here and
here.The
marathon site is mostly in Dutch but there is a link down the left
hand side for "Foreign Information"
Steve has only briefly
looked into costs but the days of cheap air fares are long gone. We
can fly to Groningen directly from Aberdeen with BMI, which is part
of the attraction, and Expedia quotes flights and 3 nights in a
hotel for £330 so I guess it would be somewhere in that
region.
Can anyone interested in going please get in touch with
Steve (subsea@virgin.net)
He has also set a date for our AGM
- Thursday 17th April at 8.00pm at the usual place, Garioch Sports
Centre.

Look out for
a photo of GRR's Donna Gray in today's P&J energy supplement, in
the posh party photo
section.
