BMAF Interarea Track and Field championships, Coventry, 6 July 2019
Coventry ‘s Godiva’s sky blue track saw a small band of VAC athletes run, jump and throw with all their might in
this year’s summer Inter area match.
800m experts, Lisa Webb, Anna Garnier and Margaret Moody all gained excellent second place, whilst Avril
Riddell, Malcolm Davies and Trevor Solomon managed third places. Good points scoring stamina was also displayed by
Ed Connolly, Helen Davies, Andy Gannaway, and Robert O'Rourke across the middle distance events.
The throwing squad of Peter Wishart, Caroline Garratt, Tracey Gould, and Kim Weir were powerfully productive all
day with a win for Caroline in the Javelin, plus second and third in the Hammer for Tracey and Kim
respectively.
Richard Weeks leaped to victory in the triple jump and was joined in sandpit events by debutant Vaughan Ramsay
and experienced Timothy Carter, Allan Long and Jonathan Ashman. Glen Reddington combined running and jumping (well
hurdling!) with third place in the 100m Hurdles.
Allan Long led the sprinters with the only VAC sprint victory of the day in the 200m, and a second place in the
100m. There were almost as speedy performances across 100m, 200m and 400m by Adrian Day, David Hinds, Nick Lauder,
Paul Wignall, Philip Bell and Steve Roberts. The M35 4x100m relay team (Nick Lauder/Vaughan Ramsay/Steve
Roberts/Alex Guest) managed third whilst our M60s (Adrian Day/ Timothy Carter/ David Hinds /Philip Bell) really
deserved second place until one of the SCVAC sprinters who looks like one of the hairy bikers complained that
Adrian Day was just too fast for him, or something like that, causing a dodgy late DQ. It was a decision that puts
the Premiership VAR in positive light in comparison.

British and Irish Masters International Cross Country Championships,
Aintree - 16 November 2019
Peter Giles 1st M75
Clare Elms 1st W55
These championships are held annually with the host nation rotating. For 2019 it was the turn of England
Athletics Masters Association to organise. The race venue was Aintree racecourse, a flat grassy course with the
going described as ‘good to soft’! All the women, and men over 65, raced over 6k (3 laps), while the younger men
(35 – 64) completed 4 laps to make 8k. There were 4 separate races, and for the first time a category was added for
W75 runners. After initial transport problems, and a slightly delayed start the races all went well. The weather
stayed dry and much milder than anticipated. The results team which included Peter Kennedy and Andy Murray provided
an extremely efficient service. In the evening there was a meal and prize giving in Southport, attended by athletes
and families/friends. Several VAC members were selected to run. Of these the following were medallists:
GOLD Peter Giles M75
GOLD Clare Elms W55
SILVER Sue McDonald W50
BRONZE Ben Reynolds M55
BRONZE Lesley Bowcott W75
Other VAC members were members of medal winning teams. England won the women’s, men’s, and overall
championships. The women’s trophy was presented to multiple age group winner and VAC member Clare Elms.
In addition Zoe Doyle won the open race, held after the 4 championship races.

The non-stop pouring rain did not deter the 15 VAC men who battled it
out in the combined Division 3/4 race which attracted 337 finishers. VAC, as in the first fixture, finished fifth
team out of 12, a great result, boosted by some excellent individual performances.
Andrew Mitchell, a nationally top-ranked M50, placed
second in the Division Four race, followed by top-50 placings for Gary Ironmonger, Bruce McLaren, Darren Franks and
Tony Harran. Good packing saw Barry Attwell, Peter Giles, newcomer Gary Ribbons, Steve Clancey, Carey Gray and
Lloyd Bevan all finish in the next two minutes, with team spirit upheld by Andy Mitchelson, Gary Budinger, Martin
Garrett and Ian Strong.
Individually, VAC runners creamed off the age-group
positions, with top places for Andrew Mitchel (M50), Gary Ironmonger (M55), Gary Ribbons (M60), Barry Attwell (M65)
and Peter Giles (M75).
Thanks go to Paddy Clark, the VAC team manager, who
brought the VAC team together under the shelter of the gazebo and got very wet marshalling up on the hill. Another
hero has to be Ian Kitching who was recovering from a nasty cold but turned up to support and was then commandeered
for the VAC recording team, getting drenched in the funnel, as the skies darkened in late afternoon as the last
finishers came in.

Enfield Open 7 Mile Race Walk (incorporating Veterans AC 7 Mile
Championships)
9 November 2019, King George V Playing Fields, Enfield
Category B
The event was held in conjunction with Enfield & Haringey AC’s 7 Mile Open race, now in its 93rd edition,
in slightly sunny racing conditions.
There were 42 on the start line, similar to 2018.
The VAC contingent was strongly led home by Trevor Jones of Steyning AC (6th overall), with competition among
the ever-improving ladies, Penelope Cummings (AFD) and Emma Dyos (Ilford AC).
VAC are grateful to the Enfield League organiser, Ron Wallwork, for allowing VAC to incorporate their
championships within the Enfield Open 7.

Mauny
There was an excellent turn out of VAC men for the Surrey League’s opening match at Richmond Park.
The 5M, undulating, two-lap Isabella Plantation course was tough enough without incessant rain but this did not
deter the 324 finishers in the combined Division 3/4 race. VAC achieved a magnificent fifth place out of 12 teams
in Division Four, our highest position for several years. The result was due to having fast men high up in the
field and strength in the middle.
VAC were led home by first-timer, Chris Beecham (M50) who placed a fantastic fifth in the Division, followed by
Gary Ironmonger (M55) in 12th. Bruce McLaren (M50), another welcome newcomer, was our third finisher, followed by
Ian Kitching, Tony Harran and Darren Franks within the next minute. Great packing! The team was closed by good runs
from Andy Mitchelson, Lloyd Bevan, Gary Budinger and Andy Murray, with Ian Strong in support.
Unfortunately, there was some misfortune too. Carey Gray, ever-present for the last seven complete seasons, got
stuck in horrendous traffic coming from Oxfordshire and arrived after the start. Similarly, Liam O’Hare was late
and set off in chase four minutes after the hooter had blown. Unluckiest of all was Tony Austin who tripped on a
tree root and fell heavily on his shoulder. He was helped by Liam who had caught up with him, and the two of them
valiantly finished the race, taking the last places. Tony’s injury was later diagnosed as a fracture. We wish him
well.
Thanks go to Paddy Clark, the VAC team manager, for his organisation and encouragement, and for providing the
very welcome gazebo to protect the runners and kit from the heavy rain.

Clapham Common parkrun 21 September 2019
Maggie Statham, Andy Murray, Liam O'Hare, Ros Tabor, William Fordham, Martin Garrett, Bruce McLaren, Trevor
Solomon, Mike Mann, Alan Davidson
On what may well have
been the last hot day of summer, we had a good turnout of 10 members enjoying the early morning sunshine on Clapham
Common. With 760 finishers, the first kilometre over stony and dusty surfaces was congested, and it was necessary
to take care to avoid tree roots and low hanging branches, but the field spread out thereafter. Ros Tabor set a new
W70 age group record for the parkrun to accompany the W65 record she already holds. She also achieved the highest
age-graded performance on the day.

European Masters Athletics Championships, Jesolo, Italy 5-15 September
2019
Ros Tabor at Caorle cross country
Portugese marathon legend Rosa Mota at xc with VAC member Steve Smythe, Clare Elms leading the 1500m at Eraclea
track
The latest European Championships followed those at
Aarhus two years ago. This time the venue was the flat coastal area just east of Venice, with three tracks being
used at Lido di Jesolo, Eraclea (10k away) and Caorle (another 20k further away). Whilst the organisers provided
transport it was only for those buying expensive season tickets. Public buses were available but slower and with
confusing timetables as we entered the autumn schedules. Seemingly to please the relevant three mayors, events were
split evenly between the venues over a long time period, meaning that each often had only a half day’s events... so
much head-scratching was needed each day as athletes and spectators tried to work out how to get to races and where
would be good to spectate. With spectators and athletes spread out so much the atmosphere was good but not as
lively as at previous championships.
Multi eventers and then field eventers were first to
start. The first main track finals were the 1500m, held for men at Jesolo, women at Eraclea on a warm Saturday
evening. The next day saw much worse weather, with the cross countries going ahead in showers but lengthy
thunderstorms then disrupting later events and standing water creating problems in and out of stadia. From Monday
onward the weather was increasingly fine and sunny, allowing us to appreciate between events the beaches, cafes and
restaurants of this popular Northern Adriatic resort area. Many people visited Venice by bus and boat on at least
the Tuesday rest day. Road walks were held in warm conditions near the Eraclea track. On the final weekend were
team relays, 4x100m, then 4x 400m and road races of 10k and half-marathon, the latter a team
event.
Athlete of the games was VAC’s Clare Elms, who won
five individual golds, a team gold and an individual silver. Ian Richards won five walks golds, three individual
and two team.
The next European championships outdoors will be in
Tampere, Finland in 2020. Other forthcoming championships are listed on the BMAF website.

Congratulations to Penny Elliott (W75) the worthy winner of the Battersea Park
Grand Prix with an excellent average age grading of 92.86%. Penny competed in all five Battersea Park races and her
best 5 mile time of 41:29 set a new VAC W75 5M record, beating Pam Jones's W75 best of 43:03 set in 2012. Penny
tops the runbritain W75 rankings for 5M and 5km. Peter Giles, new to the M75 age group, was second with an average
of 89.81%. Peter also broke the VAC M75 5M record and tops the runbritain rankings for 5M. Lynn Wilson, W60, was
third with 85.00%.
Twenty one VAC members qualified for the 2019 competition. To be eligible, members
had to register times in at least three of the five road races. The person with the highest average of his or her
three best age-graded performances is awarded the Snow Cup, a beautiful trophy which dates to 1950.
Thanks go to all the VAC members and guest runners who competed in the five races
over the summer. A summary of the age-graded performances for each VAC member who ran at Battersea in 2019 is
here.
The series resumes in April 2020.

Race winner, Andrew Mitchell, was only five seconds short of the M50 course record on a hot evening
in the busy park. He clocked 27:34 to finish well ahead of the chasing pack of six "28 minute" men which was led by
Matthew Munro, closely followed by Rich Berry, making a welcome return to racing. Helen Taranowski was the first
woman in a fast time of 32:49.
Here are the age-graded
results for VAC members. Penny Elliott once again topped the table with an impressive percentage of
90.90%.
This was the final fixture of the 2019 series. Thank you to all who took part, especially the five
VAC members who competed in all five races: Joe Aspinall, Edwin Bartlett, Tom Cheetham, Penny Elliott and Terry
O'Neill. Thanks also to our reliable and trusty team of officials, helpers and marshals.

5 mile Race Walk Category B
Race Permit No: RWA9041-5
The fifth and final fixture of the season had a reasonable attendance on a very hot humid evening.
The race was convincingly won by Dave Annetts, who continued his form, improving his personal best set in April
at the same fixture by about half a minute.
Belgrave’s new signing Alicia Drenda had a good result in just outside 11 minute miling in only her second race;
with ever present Maureen Noel, the return of Mark Culshaw, and the newer members such as Stefano Zennaro &
Maddy Shott, Belgrave team look set for the future.
Paul King was the only walker who improved on his previous race time despite the dramatic rise in temperature as
he gradually regains his usual fitness.

Race Permit No: RWA9041-4
The fourth fixture of the season had a lower than expected attendance on a moderately sunny evening giving an
ideal temperature for racing once again.
Penelope Cummings from AFD followed up her 5k win from the previous meeting and had another success in a time
only a few seconds outside her PB from a few years ago.
The remainder of the field achieved times in line with present form.

VAC 10km road Championships, Caterham Rotary 10k, 21 July
2019
Caroline Wood (SCVAC), Jane Georghiou, Ros Tabor, Malcom Davies, Helen Davies, Tony Tuohy, Helen Pool, Maggie
Statham
Eighteen VAC members took part in the Caterham Rotary 10k which was well supported
by Masters athletes as it had been designated as one of the qualifying races for selection for the England team for
the annual Masters International cross country match to be held in November near Southport. It was also the VAC 10k
road championships. The weather was fine and warm. The single lap course on pleasant country roads around Redhill
aerodrome was relentlessly undulating and many found it tough.
VAC had four runners in the top ten, and seven in the top twenty. Andrew Mitchell
was the first VAC finisher in fifth place in the race, and first M50, with a chip time of 34:57. Only 15 seconds
behind was Richard Tomlinson in 7th place and second M50. Tony Tuohy (M55), David Ogden (M60) and Peter Giles (M75)
all won their age groups.
The first VAC woman was Helen Pool who was the fourth woman in the race and first
W45 in a time of 42:49. Jo Quantrill (W60) and Jane Georghiou (W65) won their age groups.

We are sorry to report that we have reviewed the lay out of the 5km course and discovered
that a mistake was made in positioning the start and finish lines. As a consequence, the course was short by
around 50 metres and did not conform exactly to the map provided by our official course measurer. The race
cannot therefore retain its full UKA licence and the times achieved are not valid for the runbritain rankings,
although the results will still appear on Power of Ten. The VAC Championship awards and medals are not
affected. We are taking steps to ensure that this does not happen again, including double checks and clearer
documentation.

The age graded results for VAC members are here

5k Race Walk Championships Category B
Race Permit No: RWA9041-3
The third fixture of the season had an attendance in line with past experience on a cloudy evening giving an
ideal temperature for racing once again.
There had been many VAC 5k championships previously in conjunction with other organisers’ races, but this first
stand-alone event made Penelope Cummings from AFD a new VAC championship winner.
Runner up Dan Maskell from Surrey Walking Club won for the men and continued his success from the 5 mile
championships the previous month.
The overall winner for the second month running was Belgrave’s Stefano Zennaro, who also chopped over two
minutes off his PB which is becoming a habit, more remarkable given that Stefano does not come from a running or
walking background.
Maureen Noel also from Belgrave and Tom Casserley did their usual respectable times; a personal best from Tom by
about 20 seconds.
