MOM – Andrew Chatterton, great support and great photos during January.
ROM – Trudi Jenkinson getting stronger and faster, great ELH and a massive 5 minutes off giving a great PB at St Anne’s 10 mile

Hi Sue,
I’ve witnessed some great running this month and again it’s proving tricky to nominate individuals! However, for MOTM, I like to choose Nicola Murphy for her outstanding contribution to produce the Club Welcome Pack.
For Runner it’s more difficult, it’s sometimes easy to nominate the faster runners who have been brilliant, such as David Birtwistle’s win along with Josh Crowther and Michael Clucas’ fantastic efforts, however I’ve chosen to look at those who’s improved their running immensely this month! I’ve two candidates to make a decision on, Kate Rippingale and Trudi Jenkinson. Kate has been great this month with some strong performances but I’m going to nominate Trudi who has just edged my vote. She has been pushing on these last few months and has had an brilliant January.

ROTM John Clayton. That guys on fire.
MOTM Murphy for for all the hard work she put in on the starter pack.

ROTM for me could be anyone of many who put storming PB’s over the weekend but in the end I’ve gone for Matt Simpson for his storming sub 6:00 average race at Hunters 10km yesterday
MOTM is Jason Rippingale who organised the Meal after St Anne’s and after finishing his own race went back 3 more times to run in with other club members and offer encouragement to them all

I’d like to nominate Nicola Murphy as MOTM for her amazing work on the BRR club starter pack. And ROTM I’d like to vote David Birtwistle for his PB in the Central Lancs ½ marathon and achieving a club record. Both have done brilliantly for the club this month.

My runner of the month is Matt Simpson for his tremendous PB on Sunday. Set his mind to do it and blew his time out of the water. Well done.
My member of the month is Christine Warrington, always has positive things to say and puts every effort into her races, you can tell that by her running face. Onwards and upwards Christine.

MOM …John Clucas … Core & Aerobic classes for all!
..a fabulous BRR added extra! ROTM hard one so many!.. Jason Rip amazing running … great sense of fun & support of others…. impressed at his “plus” miles at St Annes, running back bringing BRR family over the finish line…brilliant.

My nomination goes to John Clayton yet again knocking that much off a half marathon time is simply amazing. John Clayton your my running hero pal

My nominations for MOTM and ROTM
John Clayton for MOTM for his encouragement to me following my injury
David Birtwistle for ROTM for his fantastic win at the Central Lancs half marathon

I would like to nominate Trudi Jenkinson as ROTM her running has improved dramatically and now is reaping the benefits with some great race times including PBs always helping other runners too.
My nomination for MOTM is for Sally Heppenstall for organising the EA visit fantastic publicity for the club and a fab night too. Also for sorting out #BRR on tweeter

ROTM Matt Simpson. 2 races, 2 pbs, making sacrifices and working really hard to knock off those vital seconds. Just goes about his business pretty quietly.
