April 1997 Newsletter Fell Race
Feb 9th: Annual Fell Race, Lyme Park: Mark Garrod
I thought it worthwhile reminding myself of the duties of a meet leader, as stated in the
club handbook, before writing my report.
Encourage Associate members and beginners. I would have thought ending next to the
pub would have been encouragement enough, but to actually provide maps as well to help those
who find following their noses difficult, I believe means I fully discharged this duty. Shame the
map wasn’t too clear, or so some people claimed, or simply left everyone over-confident, as
navigation still proved to be a real challenge - see later. Associate members were few and far
between; in fact the one we had chose to miss out check points and drink coffee enroute, hence
missing out on the prestigious best newcomer award. Welcome new members and quests. Again,
this didn’t seem to pose much of a problem, with no less than 8 guests taking part, some
admittedly taking time off from Sale Harriers, but great to see them all the same. Supposed to give
them relevant info on club matters, but couldn’t catch them - they were too fast!
Report any serious incidents to the committee. Aha - this is where life starts getting a bit
more interesting. Various reports of rules (such as no scaling fences and walls) being broken were
received anonymously after the event, but by all accounts such practice was sufficiently
widespread to cause havoc with the computerised scoring and handicapping system, so it is best
left to the prey endlessly on the minds of the perpetrators for all time. Suffice it to say that Jim at
least had the decency to scale one of the walls concerned on behalf of a good few people to
register at the check point on the far side.
Be responsible for leaving everything in good order. No problem, the vultures picked the
bones of those few bodies we left scattered around.
Details of new climbs. Only Jim’s, so far as I know.
So what of the participants and results. Here goes. Note only members were given handicaps

All of which says congratulations to Al Metelko for winning the fastest competitor cup,
Dave Wylie for taking the fastest handicap Sheila Manning Trophy, and Michelle Harvie for
lifting the fastest lady competitor cup for the third year running. Mary said something about cups
not being suitable for coffee, but I didn’t understand that.
Nearly last but certainly not least, many thanks to the 3 willing checkpointers, Lorna,
Keith and Ken. If you have any views as to timing or location of next year’s race, please let us
know. This was an experiment - what do you think?
