Well done to everyone who ran on Saturday at a freezing cold Parliament Hill. We had some very good individual performances such as myself finishing 6th in the race (3rd in the London Champs due to a few guest runners), Rich Munn having a strong run and showing that his marathon training is paying dividends.

Well done to those eight people who turned out at Croydon on the weekend to run the 5 mile race at Lloyd Park. The 4 man team was 5th and the 8 man team was 2nd behind Herne Hill Harriers

Welcome back to Lee Haze who had a respectable race on his return to competition for the club.

The club AGM will be held on Tuesday 2nd December at the Goose on the Green in Catford at 8:45pm (after the Tues eve. training sessions).

Please find attached the calling notice to the 2008 agm and the minutes of the 2007 agm.

For the juniors we only had 2 under 17's and 2 under 20's for this fixture but they all acquitted themselves well. On a very demanding course at Mote Park Alfie Grimsey improved on the last fixture by coming home 2nd in his race, just behind the talented Seb Harding and not that far behind the winner of the race - one of the Tyler brothers who was in the under 20 section.

Kent AC achieved their second best ever result by finishing 15th at the ERRA National Six Stage Road Relay Championships, but it was Paul Pollock who took the limelight with the fastest ever leg by a Kent AC athlete.

Dennis has put together a training schedule for the middle distance B-group squad for Winter 2008 up to Xmas.

Congratulations to all who ran at the Southern Road Relays in Aldershot. It was out best ever turnout at this top class event. With 4 full teams, with the A-team finishing in 5th position out of 92 teams, which equals our best ever position.

Great news, the B Team will still be in Southern League Division One next season. As we'd hoped, the creation of a new British League division means that only two teams (Winchester and WSEH) are being relegated, so we're safe.

A small group of young athletes gave a good account of themselves at Capstone Park. In the under 15's David Rowbotham came home 15th in what was a very strong field. David had a bad patch in the middle of the race but as usual came through strongly in the closing stages.

Sorry for the delays in getting this posted...

What a fantastic result! We were awesome and simply 'tore the rest apart' to produce our BEST EVER track & field result in the club's history.

The Southern road relays are on Sat 27th Sept. Book in diaries. It is Aldershot as usual. We're looking for a strong M40 and M50 teams, so Luke says no excuses. It would be good if you could race either assembley league at beckenham or club 5000m so the selectors can have a look at current form.

Final match round-up from British Athletic's top columnist:

Pre-senile dementia is a terrible thing. I typed up the results, posted Larry's copy off to him with my extravagant expenses claim for the season, then forgot to email them to you lot.

The club was well represented in the National Champs and Olympic trials in Birmingham on 11th - 13th July. Jonathan Browne came 6th in his heat in the 100m in 10.79s. In the 400m Conrad Williams was 2nd in his heat in 48.

That's more like it. Some excellent performances and a third place for the B team at Ladywell on Saturday. We beat two teams above us in the League and got pretty close to two promotion contenders. With twenty competing athletes and loads of guests, there's life in the old dog yet.
