Vale Lorraine Lopes
Lorraine passed away in her sleep this morning.
She had an amazing talent for distance running and holds most of the State Records in the W70 and W75 age groups up to the half marathon, (club secretary Gillian holding the rest). David Carr was her mentor and encouraged her to train for and break so many records.
She also processed the Sunday run results until 2013 when she handed the job over to Mark Hewitt. She managed the results processing single-handedly whereas today we require a roster of five!

Lorraine was a resident of Alfred Carson Lodge.
Funeral details will be advised when known.

ECAC in August
During August most of the team who manage ECAC events will be in Gothenburg for the World Championships.
There will be no training/coaching on any of the Mondays in August.
Karyn Tolardo has kindly offered to manage Thursday track meets in August. There will be no photofinish so please offer to hold a watch or lapscore. The results will not be published but athletes can see their time by looking at the results sheet after their event.
If anyone is going for a record it is essential they tell Karyn in advance. Records in 800m and below will not be possible

One Hour event
There will be a one hour event on Tuesday 15th October, 6:30 pm at ECAC.
This is the first time in many years that the club has run this event.
Entrants must let Richard, Barbara or Gillian know ahead of the event as numbers will be limited. It is essential you bring your own lap counter as you will not be allowed to run without one.
