1. ROTM – Janet Weir. She has worked so hard all year really trying to hit her challenges. Through hardwork it has paid off. Fab running and to top it all Janet is such a lovely person.
MOTM – Lynne Knowles. Her positive attitude and ‘get up and run’ has inspired many. I have loved watching her on her running journey. Big things for Lynne are yet to come. She just needs to believe.

Graham Jordan

11. ROTM – Scott Slater
I have loved following Scott’s comeback journey and he has excelled himself this month especially. Managing to get back to sub 20 pace, after his very unfortunate time out, is an amazing achievement. His dedication, perseverance and determination to hit this again, has been infectious. Keep going, Scott!

MOTM – Anthony BRR (unsure on real surname, sorry)
Since injury, Anthony has thrown himself into many marshalling posts, setting a great example to us all. He has helped support others in ways that he probably doesn’t even realise he has.
What an amazing person to have in our club; always so positive, kind and helpful. You’re a star, Anthony.

A big shout out to the speedy Michael Clucas on his RV10k PB, just wow! Also, a big thank you to him for his detailed overview of the race itself. Having never done it before and pacing someone on the route, using this really helped!

Thanks,
Hayley Duckworth

12.
ROTM is Carla Jenkins on for getting that amazing achievement of a time under an hour for 10k

MOTM is Sinead Simpson for organising an awesome Xmas party for the BRR

Chris Hardy

13. please can I nominate Jeanette Baron as runner of the month. Has anyone checked if she wears heelies on her runs? 70% consistently amazing runner.
Special mention to Janet Weir for her amazing RV10k time.
For MoM please can I nominate Tracy Slater, she bakes, photographs, hands out leaflets, lends out husbands and all while getting back to running herself. She is an inspiration and real lady.
Special mention to everyone who had helped me improve this year, from chasing Amanda Burrows around numerous parkruns and training runs to Rose Kay getting me training miles in and feeding me loads of delicious and sometimes healthy food.
So looking forward to next year with my running family xxx

Christine Warrington

14.
Runner OTM: ‘PB Magnet’ – Gail Bamber for her many race and Parkrun achievements. She’s been storming the PB challenge since it began in Jan, and has picked up lots more in December, ending on a high.

Special mention to Donna Mazur as well who has also been phenomenal.

Member OTM: Anthony Furnell for picking himself up following an injury and supporting his team members at races and Parkruns. He’s been a massive support to myself when marshalling at Witton, and now he’s encouraging fellow Club members to also get involved. He’s a kind soul who spreads positivity.

Special mention to Kieran McBride, who kindly baked special surprises for Club members for the Christmas party. What a guy!

Many thanks

Karen Rishton

15. Such a tough month to chose a runner as there has been some amazing running. However, ROM for me is Jeanette Baron. Jeanette is forever winning age category runs and just gets her head down and gets on with it, pulling out great performances time and time again. Ending the year with a location PB at RV10k and 1000 miles in the bag – just awesome. Special mention to Janet Weir who has done amazing too, securing her sub 54 at RV10k to round off her year.

MOM for me is Hayley Duckworth. Hayley is an amazing runner, yet will sacrifice her own runs to help others. I know Karen Rishton was really grateful for Hayley’s park run with her when trying to get a PB. However, my nomination is more so from a personal level; she paced me not only to a sub 60, but a sub 58 at the RV10k, even though that was like a walk in the park for her! She is so encouraging and is just amazing!
Just want to say well done to everyone for 2019 running, all the best for your 2020 goals.

Carla Jenkinson

16. please can I nominate Michael Clucas for runner of the month. Brilliant PB at Ribble valley 10k and a top guy 👍

For member of the month I’d like to nominate Anthony Furnell. Set a brilliant example of supporting / volunteering whilst injured.

Thanks

17. Member of the month: Gary Blackburn for enduring weeks of Apprentice related conversation whenever I have seen him at either club run, park run, or the super market.
