Club meeting

Attention all members,

You will all be aware that the next Club Meeting is on Wed 1st August (it is on the callender), it will take place at the Bridge Hotel at 9.00pm. and everyone is welcome. It is an opportunity for us all to discuss and ponder new ideas for keeping our Club moving forward, passing on any information and most important of all a chance for us to socialise and meet the new members.

Prior to the meeting is the Chairmans Race - an approx. 5mile handicap race around the tracks behind Rivington High School - with the recent success of the Lostock/Burnden Challenge I hope you will all support us in this event.
We will meet on the junction of the track and the concrete road just behind Rivington High School at 7.00pm to race at 7.15pm, it will be the usual staggered start, the handicaps will be sorted by me (bribes accepted). the presentation will be at the Bridge as part of the meeting.
If you cannot run for any reason I would be very much obliged if you would still turn up and assist with marshalling.(If you are able to marshall please let me know ASAP)
There will be a cost of £2.00 per person towards the cost of Prizes/supper.

There will be no training session from the Leisure Centre on this night, but you will be able to shower there after the race.

You will be able to pay your camp fees at the meeting.

Thanks to you all for your anticipated support

John (Chairman)

Lostock v Burnden Challenge

After a series of intriguing tussles in which the two clubs could hardly be separated, Lostock A.C. eventually ran out comfortable winners in the inaugural Lostock v Burnden Challenge on Wednesday.With a history of very close battles between the two local rivals, the Lostock club are now proud to be the first name on the new trophy and the race will now become an annual event.

Races as diverse as the Haigh Hall Relays, Man v Horse Marathon, and the Isle of Jura Fell Race have recently seen Lostock and Burnden locked in the closest of contests with very little to choose between the two clubs. It was therefore decided to hold a head to head challenge race to compete for local pride and a new challenge trophy.

For two of the area’s smaller clubs there was a fantastic turn out, and 38 runners in the green vests of Lostock and the silver and black of Burnden lined up in driving rain to run for local bragging rights – and hot-pot in the local pub.

On a testing six mile off-road course around Anglezarke, Lostock’s Keith Thomas was first home in time of 36:56 followed by Burnden’s Andy Staveley in 37:40. Next home was Lostock’s Mick Green in 38:45 chased by Martyn Pollitt (40:16) for the Burnden club, and the clubs looked set for yet another close run thing. However Lostock then showed superior strength in depth with Neil Smith, Stewart Jones and Pete Hopley all in the chasing pack, and the trophy was heading for Lostock.

Lesley Fisher regained some pride for Burnden by claiming the prize for first Lady in a time of 44:05.

The night belonged to Lostock, but Burnden made a fight of it, and the Challenge looks sure to become a keenly contested race in the local fixture list for years to come.

thank you note

To -- All Who Supported Hannah.

Please find below a message from Hannah's Mum & Dad regarding our recent very well attended Treasure Hunt



"Thankyou so much for coming and joining us on our Fundraising Treasure Hunt. It was lovely to see so many of you willing to get wet. Thanks to the money raised we have been able to purchase Hannah some Fibre Optic lights for her room which will help her relax, but hopefully will also encourage her grasping skills and touch. We also donated some of the funds to Mayfield school where we have asked for the money to be spent on some sensory equipment for Hannahs class. We are truely gratefull that you helped to raise these funds and I am sure Hannah will get many hours of pleasure from her lights."



Yours Very Sincerely

Steven and Cheryl
