Ronhill Cambuslang Scotland's leading Cross Country club

A big big congrats to Jack Brown on finishing 6th in the West Highland Way in a tremendous time of 18 hours and twenty six minutes.  What a gutsy run.  No doubt we will hear more from Jamie or Barney who supported him along with John Clark and even from Jack in due course.

A small raffle will be run on Saturday at the club presentation to help offset some of the costs, and any donations would be most welcome, please hand in to any club coach or committee member or bring with you on the night.

A number of athletes competed in various events throughout Scotland and in England at the weekend.

Congrats to Caitlin who won a bronze medal over 800m in the Scottish Schools as well as 4th in 400m.  David Roberson smashed his pb for 1500m and was 9th in the final.  Jack was 7th in his 1500m final and Andrew was close to his pb in his 800m heat.

Tickets for the club presentation disco on Saturday 20 June are now available.  The cost which includes a buffet is £6 per adult and £4 per young athlete.  A family ticket for 2 adults and 2 plus children costs £18.  Please give names as soon as possible either via the google group or personally to Robert, Owen, Andy or David Cooney.  Let's hope that we have a good turnout across all age groups to celebrate another successful year for the club at all levels.

Ross Bark, Stevie Wylie and Robert Gilroy all took to the streets of Stranraer this morning for the anual half-marathon, with this being a home race for Ross on his own backyard!
Conditions for the race were good for racing with just a little drizzle and it wasn't too hot which was nice! The race is a very undulating route which runs through the town centre followed by the unspoilt beautiful Wigtownshire countryside which makes it a favourite with most runners.

Have you read the 1988 Scotland's Runner article on the club, including interviews with Robert Anderson and Eddie Stewart? There are also a couple of pics which are causing some debate and laughs at the clubhouse - who have you recognised?

The article should have dropped into your inbox last week via the RHC Google group. If you didn't receive it, you're missing out on lots of important club information,  so enter your Email address below and subscribe now:

Hi folks, I know Carol Anne was handing out the website address, so just wanted to put this on the front page as a reminder - if you want a login name and password for the site, so you can post messages to the forums, just drop me an email with your name and address (to check on the membership list) and I'll send you details. Many thanks to ColinF for getting so much more stuff on-line, and yes I will be upgrading and fixing the Photo Gallery so we can get more photos on. It's your club, so it's your website, any suggestions or complaints... email me (dave [at] davethom [dot] net) 

Callendar Park, Falkirk.
    Cambuslang Harriers U17 men raced to victory in the team competition at the National Cross Country Championships. The youngsters displayed gritty determination as well as their ability over the 6.4Km undulating trail, to record a narrow victory over Kilbarchan AAC.

Congratulations are due to Stewart Orr on winning gold in securing the Under 17 mens Scottish Indoor 1500m title, having been runner up twice last season both on the road and on the country in the battle for Scottish titles.  Stewart continues to display great versatility on these different surfaces and distances, with sound guidance from his coach and dad Jim who has been there himself at club and international level.
