1.ROM – Linzi Birch-Dearden for just getting her head down, sneaking off and entering what looks like very tough races and for her constant advice about running technique and stretches.
MOM – Tracy Slater for organising the amazing cake stall at the Winter Warmer and for all the fab photos from recent races.

Thanks
Nickie O’Hara

2.Runner of the month – MALINI CRAIG. Over the past few months her running has come on leaps and bounds. She takes on John and Dave’s runs every Sat when she can and is now loving a hill !!

What she will not tell you and which I admire about her is she has suffered a debilitating illness where she was unable to walk. To be running her 1st half marathon in March is simply amazing.

Member of the month – JOHN HANNON

He is always there for advice and a run when needed and is a massive inspiration. Always helping other people. He is a true gent.

Thanks
Claire Taylor

3.ROM: Graham Jordan. He’s improving week in, week out and really enjoying his running.
MOM: Jane Matthewman. Did a fantastic job at the WW.
Cheryl Schofield

4.ROM – First a mention for David Haworth and Samantha Badland, Running and training together. It’s going to be interesting when they finally run a race, PBs by a country mile I suspect. However, my nomination is for John Verity. He go his first PB at the Blackpool Half after months and months of demoralising injury.

And MOM Joyce Weeks with or without her clackers (and Gordon for that matter!). Support is BRR’s greatest strength and nobody sums that up more than Joyce. Such a welcome sight and sound on race day.😊😍😊
Thanks
Anna Barcroft

5.MOTM – Jane Matthewman she works so hard dealing with all the WW entries as well as the championship and now she’s also club secretary, We as a club are very lucky to have her.

ROTM – Anthony Harvey he ran back for all of us constantly checking on us to make sure we were ok at run & eat
Aadila Mulla

ROTM Graham Jordan. This is why…. we.ve had chats, run together and are now marathon training. It’s fair to say that sometimes Graham has been too keen at the start line zooming off and this has burnt him out later on in the race. We have talked a lot about pacing. I am so impressed with the way Graham has turned his training around for marathon purposes. He is so inspirational to watch and I am learning a lot from him. He is so positive, is really listening to advice and is overall for me the best runner of this month. Graham keep going like u are and London will be yours.

MOTM this is hard because I am receiving so much support. I am gonna have to go with Linzi Birch-Dearden. We did our 16 miler with Linzi ON Darwen hertigage. She came prepared with protein bars and gels for us all and gave us brilliant advice. Advice that will get me though the first 20 miles of my marathon. She is a trooper and a tough nut. Thank you Linzi Birch-Dearden x

Tracy Davies

11.Member, John Clucas for all the time and effort he puts into the WW and his constant advertising of Park Run.
Runner, Liz Skupski for her PBs at St Anne’s and Blackpool.
Thanks, Graham Jordan

12.There’s been so many worthy contenders for both Runner and Member of the month. It’s been a really difficult month to choose. Loads of PB’s already in the challenge and loads of outstanding performances, but I think Rachael Gavin gets it with her podium finish at Oulton Park Half. Added to her parkrun win and really strong PB performances in January, she’s running really well.

Member of the month for me goes to Tracy Slater. So many people worked so hard to make the Winter Warmer a success but I would like to nominate Tracy Slater for her hard work on the cake stall at the Winter Warmer. A lot of money raised by some fantastic bakers and a complete sell out. Also, her post the other day about not being able to nominate this month as there were just too many people hit the nail on the head. A very nice message from a very nice lady!

Michael Goodliffe

13.I’d like to nominate Erika Grech, she is running so well, last week she joined John Hannan’s Saturday gang at Entwistle. This was her first ‘off roader’ and she was fab !! The route isn’t the easiest and she never moaned once, she just dug in & got on with it !! Well done !! Laura King

14.I would like to nominate John Clucas for his non stop work for the club and its members. A bit stuck for picking runner of month but I am going to go for Sinead Witt for never giving up on training after having a baby and fighting the gremlins to run no mater what life throws at her.
Adele Mauback

15.Runner- Graham Jordan. He knocked 5mins off his half marathon PB and is training really hard for London.

Member- The lovely Jane. Everyone worked so hard to make the Winter Warmer so amazing but Jane stood out for all her hard work with the race entries and results. Can’t have been an easy task.
Rachael Gavin

16.Hi Sue, my nominations are:
ROTM, Jeanette Baron for getting her 10k PB at Stanley Park and smashing the club record for her age category. She is amazing and I have so much respect for her as a person and as a runner.

19.ROTM – Linzi Dearden for her Stockport trail Half marathon, for going it alone and getting a PB!

MOTM – Tracy Slater for bringing together the cake stall at the WW raising a cracking about of money! Amazing!!
Gillian Rushworth

20.I’ve seen some exceptional running this month including fantastic running by Tracey Davies at the winter warmer, superb running and pace by Micheal Goodcliffe and Jason Rippendale and Sue is definitely on it with her training, acing the Darwen Half Hills and completing 100 miles per month so far, stepping up the challenge for March! Anna Barcroft won her 1st vet race and has been flying recently. My vote though goes to Jeanette Baron for not only winning a vet 1st but breaking the club record, go girl!

Member of the month has to be the 3 amigos for the winter warmer organisation!

Linzi Dearden

21.ROM – Rachael Gavin for an amazing performance at the weekend. Her training is really paying off!

MOM – Ged for just always being so supportive of everyone.

Emma Wright

22.please can I nominate John Clucas as MOM, he does so much all year for the WW. And I struggled for ROM, given the amazing club bests set by Rachael and Jeanette etc. But I have been so impressed with Nickie O’hara, I think she deserves a nomination. Thank you xxx
Christine Warrington

23.Runner – Rachael Gavin – very no nonsense and methodical approach and gives her all for the club in races. She’s also inspiring the children she teaches to be the best they can be. Flooded the junior winter warmer race. You can’t do that unless you’re held in very high esteem.

Member – John Clucas for staging what is now becoming the best 10k race out there. I had the privilege of running it this year and given the choice between the London Marathon and the Winter Warmer I would choose our race every single time. Takes his role extremely seriously and reaps the rewards.

Well done to everybody involved with BRR for making each month very special

42.Member of the Month – Sally Heppenstall for doing such great marketing to get the Winter Warmer full for race day, she twittered non stop! A massive mention to the immense work carried out by the best Race Director in England John Clucas, the best entries co ordinator Jane Matthewman, treasurer that gets on with it to precision Aadila and Marshall co ordinator extraordinaire Sinéad. The event was off the scale and that is also down to the hard work of all the people who contributed, showed what a strong team we are.
