2017 Road Running Championship
The Club Road Running Championship this year will be taking on a different approach In previous years championship points have been awarded based on the finishing position of an Altrincham athlete relative to other club runners Whilst consideration was given to gender (separate championships for male and female athletes) no account was taken of age within either of these categories In order to address this we are proposing that the Road Race Championship this year will use
Age Grading as a means to ldquolevel the playing fieldrdquo
Those of you who have done parkruns should be familiar with the concept
Age Grading how it works
The following is an extract from mastersathleticsnet
Age grading uses tables of ldquoage factorsrdquo and ldquoage standardsrdquo to put all runners regardless of age and sex on a level playing field In particular they allow runnersrsquo performances no mat-ter what their age to be corrected to what they would have achieved in their prime years and permit valid comparisons to be made between people of different ages The Age Grading is expressed as a where 100 = World record level gt90 = World Class gt80 = National Class gt70 = Regional Class Format of the 2017 ADAC Road Race Championship
The calendar will consist of 16 races but you can count only one of the four Sale Sizzlers To qualify for the Championship you will need to have competed in at least 5 of the listed races If you have run in more than 5 races your best 5 age graded performances will count As the year progresses and in the final analysis your 5 best age graded performances will be added together and averaged The overall championship will be based on the best average age graded performance across the year
Because Age Grading takes account of gender there is no need for separate championships ndash males and females will compete against each other The age grading will be arrived at by using the Runners World Age Grade Calculator wwwrunnersworldcomtoolsage-grade-calculator which utilises the 2015 World Masters tables Proposed Races Sunday 5th February Alsager 5 wwwalsager5couk

2017 Fell Running Championship
from Jon Powell
In the spirit of the previous two years‟ club fell championships I have selected the races below Firstly in the hope to encourage more participants in fell races I have indicated which races are more appropriate for beginners and propose to award a prize for the best beginner Secondly in an attempt to provide an interesting challenge to more experience fell runners I have included some traditionally tough and long races to act as a challenge and likewise there will be an award for endeavour (that Craig could win) I have also set the series so that given decent participation the series winner should be required to complete at least one AM(+) in order to win The scoring system will be similar to last year with super races scoring 151210876hellip and the
secondary series scoring 54321hellip

1 Due to the delays in getting this list published some members may have missed out on entry for the Kinder Trial In order to mitigate against this I propose that if anyone feels they have missed out then their result in one of the Peak Raid may be considered (via relative position against common completions) to count in the super category
2As Borrowdale is a super race that has fairly tough entry requirements if any runner is unable to
satisfy the entry criteria (or are of a vintage where they would not be expected to run an AL in the
English Championships such as Anne-Marie Jones or Jeff Norman unless they fancy Borrowdale)
then the Cake Race will act as a super race
Experienced runners who qualify for potential Borrowdale entry will not however score points at the
Cake Race but are encouraged to go and eat cake

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

2017 Road Running Championship
The Club Road Running Championship this year will be taking on a different approach In previous years championship points have been awarded based on the finishing position of an Altrincham athlete relative to other club runners Whilst consideration was given to gender (separate championships for male and female athletes) no account was taken of age within either of these categories In order to address this we are proposing that the Road Race Championship this year will use
Age Grading as a means to ldquolevel the playing fieldrdquo
Those of you who have done parkruns should be familiar with the concept
Age Grading how it works
The following is an extract from mastersathleticsnet
Age grading uses tables of ldquoage factorsrdquo and ldquoage standardsrdquo to put all runners regardless of age and sex on a level playing field In particular they allow runnersrsquo performances no mat-ter what their age to be corrected to what they would have achieved in their prime years and permit valid comparisons to be made between people of different ages The Age Grading is expressed as a where 100 = World record level gt90 = World Class gt80 = National Class gt70 = Regional Class Format of the 2017 ADAC Road Race Championship
The calendar will consist of 16 races but you can count only one of the four Sale Sizzlers To qualify for the Championship you will need to have competed in at least 5 of the listed races If you have run in more than 5 races your best 5 age graded performances will count As the year progresses and in the final analysis your 5 best age graded performances will be added together and averaged The overall championship will be based on the best average age graded performance across the year
Because Age Grading takes account of gender there is no need for separate championships ndash males and females will compete against each other The age grading will be arrived at by using the Runners World Age Grade Calculator wwwrunnersworldcomtoolsage-grade-calculator which utilises the 2015 World Masters tables Proposed Races Sunday 5th February Alsager 5 wwwalsager5couk

2017 Fell Running Championship
from Jon Powell
In the spirit of the previous two years‟ club fell championships I have selected the races below Firstly in the hope to encourage more participants in fell races I have indicated which races are more appropriate for beginners and propose to award a prize for the best beginner Secondly in an attempt to provide an interesting challenge to more experience fell runners I have included some traditionally tough and long races to act as a challenge and likewise there will be an award for endeavour (that Craig could win) I have also set the series so that given decent participation the series winner should be required to complete at least one AM(+) in order to win The scoring system will be similar to last year with super races scoring 151210876hellip and the
secondary series scoring 54321hellip

1 Due to the delays in getting this list published some members may have missed out on entry for the Kinder Trial In order to mitigate against this I propose that if anyone feels they have missed out then their result in one of the Peak Raid may be considered (via relative position against common completions) to count in the super category
2As Borrowdale is a super race that has fairly tough entry requirements if any runner is unable to
satisfy the entry criteria (or are of a vintage where they would not be expected to run an AL in the
English Championships such as Anne-Marie Jones or Jeff Norman unless they fancy Borrowdale)
then the Cake Race will act as a super race
Experienced runners who qualify for potential Borrowdale entry will not however score points at the
Cake Race but are encouraged to go and eat cake

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

2017 Road Running Championship
The Club Road Running Championship this year will be taking on a different approach In previous years championship points have been awarded based on the finishing position of an Altrincham athlete relative to other club runners Whilst consideration was given to gender (separate championships for male and female athletes) no account was taken of age within either of these categories In order to address this we are proposing that the Road Race Championship this year will use
Age Grading as a means to ldquolevel the playing fieldrdquo
Those of you who have done parkruns should be familiar with the concept
Age Grading how it works
The following is an extract from mastersathleticsnet
Age grading uses tables of ldquoage factorsrdquo and ldquoage standardsrdquo to put all runners regardless of age and sex on a level playing field In particular they allow runnersrsquo performances no mat-ter what their age to be corrected to what they would have achieved in their prime years and permit valid comparisons to be made between people of different ages The Age Grading is expressed as a where 100 = World record level gt90 = World Class gt80 = National Class gt70 = Regional Class Format of the 2017 ADAC Road Race Championship
The calendar will consist of 16 races but you can count only one of the four Sale Sizzlers To qualify for the Championship you will need to have competed in at least 5 of the listed races If you have run in more than 5 races your best 5 age graded performances will count As the year progresses and in the final analysis your 5 best age graded performances will be added together and averaged The overall championship will be based on the best average age graded performance across the year
Because Age Grading takes account of gender there is no need for separate championships ndash males and females will compete against each other The age grading will be arrived at by using the Runners World Age Grade Calculator wwwrunnersworldcomtoolsage-grade-calculator which utilises the 2015 World Masters tables Proposed Races Sunday 5th February Alsager 5 wwwalsager5couk

2017 Fell Running Championship
from Jon Powell
In the spirit of the previous two years‟ club fell championships I have selected the races below Firstly in the hope to encourage more participants in fell races I have indicated which races are more appropriate for beginners and propose to award a prize for the best beginner Secondly in an attempt to provide an interesting challenge to more experience fell runners I have included some traditionally tough and long races to act as a challenge and likewise there will be an award for endeavour (that Craig could win) I have also set the series so that given decent participation the series winner should be required to complete at least one AM(+) in order to win The scoring system will be similar to last year with super races scoring 151210876hellip and the
secondary series scoring 54321hellip

1 Due to the delays in getting this list published some members may have missed out on entry for the Kinder Trial In order to mitigate against this I propose that if anyone feels they have missed out then their result in one of the Peak Raid may be considered (via relative position against common completions) to count in the super category
2As Borrowdale is a super race that has fairly tough entry requirements if any runner is unable to
satisfy the entry criteria (or are of a vintage where they would not be expected to run an AL in the
English Championships such as Anne-Marie Jones or Jeff Norman unless they fancy Borrowdale)
then the Cake Race will act as a super race
Experienced runners who qualify for potential Borrowdale entry will not however score points at the
Cake Race but are encouraged to go and eat cake

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

2017 Fell Running Championship
from Jon Powell
In the spirit of the previous two years‟ club fell championships I have selected the races below Firstly in the hope to encourage more participants in fell races I have indicated which races are more appropriate for beginners and propose to award a prize for the best beginner Secondly in an attempt to provide an interesting challenge to more experience fell runners I have included some traditionally tough and long races to act as a challenge and likewise there will be an award for endeavour (that Craig could win) I have also set the series so that given decent participation the series winner should be required to complete at least one AM(+) in order to win The scoring system will be similar to last year with super races scoring 151210876hellip and the
secondary series scoring 54321hellip

1 Due to the delays in getting this list published some members may have missed out on entry for the Kinder Trial In order to mitigate against this I propose that if anyone feels they have missed out then their result in one of the Peak Raid may be considered (via relative position against common completions) to count in the super category
2As Borrowdale is a super race that has fairly tough entry requirements if any runner is unable to
satisfy the entry criteria (or are of a vintage where they would not be expected to run an AL in the
English Championships such as Anne-Marie Jones or Jeff Norman unless they fancy Borrowdale)
then the Cake Race will act as a super race
Experienced runners who qualify for potential Borrowdale entry will not however score points at the
Cake Race but are encouraged to go and eat cake

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

2017 Fell Running Championship
from Jon Powell
In the spirit of the previous two years‟ club fell championships I have selected the races below Firstly in the hope to encourage more participants in fell races I have indicated which races are more appropriate for beginners and propose to award a prize for the best beginner Secondly in an attempt to provide an interesting challenge to more experience fell runners I have included some traditionally tough and long races to act as a challenge and likewise there will be an award for endeavour (that Craig could win) I have also set the series so that given decent participation the series winner should be required to complete at least one AM(+) in order to win The scoring system will be similar to last year with super races scoring 151210876hellip and the
secondary series scoring 54321hellip

1 Due to the delays in getting this list published some members may have missed out on entry for the Kinder Trial In order to mitigate against this I propose that if anyone feels they have missed out then their result in one of the Peak Raid may be considered (via relative position against common completions) to count in the super category
2As Borrowdale is a super race that has fairly tough entry requirements if any runner is unable to
satisfy the entry criteria (or are of a vintage where they would not be expected to run an AL in the
English Championships such as Anne-Marie Jones or Jeff Norman unless they fancy Borrowdale)
then the Cake Race will act as a super race
Experienced runners who qualify for potential Borrowdale entry will not however score points at the
Cake Race but are encouraged to go and eat cake

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

2017 Fell Running Championship
from Jon Powell
In the spirit of the previous two years‟ club fell championships I have selected the races below Firstly in the hope to encourage more participants in fell races I have indicated which races are more appropriate for beginners and propose to award a prize for the best beginner Secondly in an attempt to provide an interesting challenge to more experience fell runners I have included some traditionally tough and long races to act as a challenge and likewise there will be an award for endeavour (that Craig could win) I have also set the series so that given decent participation the series winner should be required to complete at least one AM(+) in order to win The scoring system will be similar to last year with super races scoring 151210876hellip and the
secondary series scoring 54321hellip

1 Due to the delays in getting this list published some members may have missed out on entry for the Kinder Trial In order to mitigate against this I propose that if anyone feels they have missed out then their result in one of the Peak Raid may be considered (via relative position against common completions) to count in the super category
2As Borrowdale is a super race that has fairly tough entry requirements if any runner is unable to
satisfy the entry criteria (or are of a vintage where they would not be expected to run an AL in the
English Championships such as Anne-Marie Jones or Jeff Norman unless they fancy Borrowdale)
then the Cake Race will act as a super race
Experienced runners who qualify for potential Borrowdale entry will not however score points at the
Cake Race but are encouraged to go and eat cake

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

2017 Fell Running Championship
from Jon Powell
In the spirit of the previous two years‟ club fell championships I have selected the races below Firstly in the hope to encourage more participants in fell races I have indicated which races are more appropriate for beginners and propose to award a prize for the best beginner Secondly in an attempt to provide an interesting challenge to more experience fell runners I have included some traditionally tough and long races to act as a challenge and likewise there will be an award for endeavour (that Craig could win) I have also set the series so that given decent participation the series winner should be required to complete at least one AM(+) in order to win The scoring system will be similar to last year with super races scoring 151210876hellip and the
secondary series scoring 54321hellip

1 Due to the delays in getting this list published some members may have missed out on entry for the Kinder Trial In order to mitigate against this I propose that if anyone feels they have missed out then their result in one of the Peak Raid may be considered (via relative position against common completions) to count in the super category
2As Borrowdale is a super race that has fairly tough entry requirements if any runner is unable to
satisfy the entry criteria (or are of a vintage where they would not be expected to run an AL in the
English Championships such as Anne-Marie Jones or Jeff Norman unless they fancy Borrowdale)
then the Cake Race will act as a super race
Experienced runners who qualify for potential Borrowdale entry will not however score points at the
Cake Race but are encouraged to go and eat cake

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

A Timperley man who has helped save up to 300 people‟s lives has been honoured Dedicated blood donor Derek Walton 73 was recognised by NHS Blood and Transplant for his loyalty and commitment at a ceremony in The Monastrey at Gorton recently Derek who has been donating blood since 1962 received an award and certificate for reaching his 100th blood donation milestone
Each blood donation can save the lives of up to three people If a donor has given blood 100 times they have potentially helped save or improve the lives of up to 300 patients Out of the 3 of the eligible population who give blood just 1 reaches 100 donations Amanda Eccles from NHS Blood and Transplant said ldquoThese dedicated blood donors are very special to us which is why this ceremony gives us the opportunity to say thank yourdquo
Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

GOOD TURNOUT OF DEBUTANTS FOR FIRST SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
A very young team of 11 with seven debutants did itself proud in the highly competitive first Sports Hall League match of the season
U11 Boys
Three debutants all acquitted themselves well with James O‟Reilly‟s eighth place in speed bounce the individual highlight The best moment for Joshua Snape and Henry Waddell came in the 4 x 2 lap relay where they teamed up with Aisling McHale and Charlotte Stansfield (yes I know they are girls) to win the non-scoring heat
U11 Girls
Aisling McHale overcame the disappointment of a stumble in the 1 lap by winning the standing triple jump and coming 4th in the speed bounce Erin Norton was an impressive third in the vertical jump on debut and Abi Lynn (another debutant) had top 6 finishes in both standing long jump and vertical jump Debutant Tilly Callery‟s highlight was seventh place in standing long jump while Lucy Pearce made the top 10 in standing triple jump and debutant Charlotte Stansfield added to her relay success with a good run in the 3 lap Overall the team came 6th out of 9 which was a good performance
U13 Girls and U15 Girls
As usual the Pearce family answered the call with Tessa and Millie each forming one-girl teams Tessa was highly consistent with top 10 finishes in all her 3 events whilst Millie achieved two top 5 finishes and a 7th place Overall a promising start and our many debutants will be the better for the competitive experience

SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH ONE

from Mark Simpson
GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive
U15
Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

Apart from impressing in the paarlauf Isobel also won the 4 lap race and came 6th in shot put while
Millie Pearce clocked up 53 points including a win in the 6 lap and 6th place in standing long jump
Our two U15 girls therefore logged 92 points in 5 events which is very impressive indeed (maximum
points would only have been 110)

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd

Blood recipient Rick Mills was invited to speak at the ceremony Rick a technical trainer aged 42 and from Flixton received a life-saving blood transfusion following an operation as a child He was again reminded of the importance of blood donation in 2007 when his wife Kerry went into premature labour with their second son Christian Devastatingly Christian was stillborn and Kerry suffered a life-threatening haemorrhage Kerry needed 13 units of blood to stabilise her condition Two years later when their daughter Amy was born Kerry needed another transfusion Rick now spends a lot of his spare time actively promoting blood donation through physical challenges and instead of asking for sponsorship money Rick asks people to donate blood instead
Rick said ldquoI owe my life my wife‟s life and therefore my children‟s lives to those who selflessly give blood You can‟t make blood it has to be donated and I see it like this ndash pay in now as you never know when you a family member or a friend may need itrdquo To book an appointment to give blood call the Donor Line 0300 123 23 23 or visit wwwbloodcouk

GIRLS (AND HONORARY GIRL) TO THE FORE
IN SECOND SPORTSHALL LEAGUE MATCH
Junior News
Once again we had 11 competitors but this time 10 of them were girls So instead of having a boy pose as a girl for relay purposes this time Dom Gibson bravely ran the relay as a girl We had 4 individual event wins and 21 top 10 finishes
U11
Top point scorer on only her second appearance was Charlotte Stansfield with two top 10 finishes including an impressive 4th in the vertical jump closely followed by Abi Lynn also with two top 10 finishes and a best of 7th in the standing long jump Aisling McHale returned an impressive haul from her two events winning the standing triple jump Erin Norton‟s best performance was 5th in vertical jump Tilly Callery‟s was 8th in standing triple jump and Lucy Pearce‟s was 9th in speed bounce so all the girls had at least one top 10 finish whilst the girls‟ obstacle relay team came an excellent 2nd Dom Gibson found his highly competitive events hard work but will have gained from the valuable experience and was definitely the team bdquogood sport‟ for agreeing to run the girls‟ relay in order to give everyone a chance to run at least one relay
U13
Quality above quantity at U13 where Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce clocked up 87 points between them Jade notched a half century of points winning the shot put as the highlight of a strong day‟s work while Tessa performed consistently with top 10 finishes in all of her three events Tessa also stepped up to U15 to run the second fastest paarlauf with Isobel Miller as a non-scoring team which was highly impressive

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN FINAL SPORTS HALL MATCH
Junior News
For the third consecutive time we had 11 athletes and there was a significant performance improve-ment once again with three more event wins and 20 top 10 finishes
U11
Jessica Molloy was top points scorer with consistent top 10 performances in her three events equal 5th in speed bounce being her best finish Aisling McHale ran her close winning the standing triple jump again Abi Lynn was equal 4th in the vertical jump and Lucy Pearce was 9th in the standing long jump Verity Charnley was 6th in the standing triple jump having been shamefully overlooked by her team manager for the 1 lap race in which she posted a really good time I won‟t make that mis-take again Charlotte Stansfield was really unlucky to be a non-scorer despite excellent perform-ances in all three of her events but she is a fine example of our strength in depth at this level and a great team player as well She is definitely our most improved female athlete over the three matches Dom Gibson once again bravely made up a girls‟ relay team and hugely improved his performances in all his events I reckon he is our most improved athlete over the three matches
U13
Jade Buckley-Ratcliff and Tessa Pearce racked up the points again despite Jade missing her favour-ite shot put due to football commitments Both were tremendously consistent in very competitive events and punched well above their weight as a duo They even ran an U15 paarlauf as an encore
U15
Speaking of punching above their weight Isobel Miller and Millie Pearce collected 110 points from a possible 132 Again they won the 4 lap and 6 lap races respectively and also enjoyed top 7 finishes in their other events ndash particularly impressive is Isobel‟s improvement as a shot putter ndash it is hard to imagine someone built less like the classic image of this event They then teamed up for an impres-sive 4th place in a classic paarlauf that featured many of the North West‟s best U15 runners So into the County Championships on 22nd January we go with realistic gold medal hopes in at least four events and minor medal hopes in a number of others Well done to all who have competed this year and good medal hunting on the 22nd
