On the 12th May I'm going to be running from London to Brighton to raise money for Cancer Research and it would be great if you could sponsor me!
My friend's daughter is fighting bowel cancer and I'm going to running it with her parents, sister and others. My 'Justgiving' page is below where you can donate and find out more.
http://www.justgiving.com/london2brighton-vickykirkwood
It's important to me because my friends daughter is ill, my Mum died of cancer aged only 52 and in the late 1950's my dad ran and won the London to Brighton road race [no pressure there then!]. I've never even run a marathon before let alone 62 miles so this is going to be a tough event both physically and mentally.
I do hope you can support me and thank you.

From Dave Deason,"Jarv, Stuart ,Mikey P and me will be making an attempt on Wainwright's Coast to Coast route starting at St Bees on Friday, 4th May 2012 finishing at Robin Hood's Bay Tuesday, 8th May 2012.
I've set up a little blogspot page http://deaseyc2c.blogspot.
The target is five days meaning around 30 to 40 mile a day but the pace will be around the BG type of running/walking, so pretty easy going.
We would welcome anyone who would like to give it a go, they just need to sort their accommodation (see Blog),it would also be great if anyone wants to join us for the odd day or half to give us some of that famous Dallam support.
Many Thanks , Deasey"

Notes from the Club AGM 18/1/2012
There was a good turnout at the AGM.
Membership of the club continues to increase.Most renewed their subscriptions fairly promptly last year which meant less time and effort chasing late payers.
2012 subscriptions remain at the same (very cheap!) rate.Please try to renew as quickly again this year.
2012 MEMBERSHIP FORM
A reminder that new members who joined from 1st September 2011 are paid up until 31st December 2012.
Club Finances remain in a healthy state even though some of the income from our three races was diverted to our 2011 chosen charity ,St John's Hospice Lancaster.
Our races in 2012
Dallam Dash 10K - John Leech and Martin Gardiner have taken over as the coordinators for this race.It's preparation is more than a two man job so they will need two or three more members to join the organising team. Please contact John on 015395 33344 or email john.leech@btconnect.com to volunteer.
20 Barriers Race - this evening race continues to attract a good turnout but the numbers staying on later for the prize giving and food have dwindled.This year's race on 3rd July 2012 will follow a simpler format with prizes handed out to the first 3 men and first 3 women as they cross the line and there will be no presentation or food afterwards.
Race organiser david.g.shinn@gmail.com
Eaves Wood Trail Races - arrangements are having to be reviewed now that the race venue is open all year round for touring caravans ( race day used to be in the winter closed season)- however it's hoped that the race can continue so please watch for further updates.
Race organiser david.g.shinn@gmail.com
The money raised from races is an important source of income for the club as it helps to subsidise membership fees as well as feeding into our chosen charity.All help towards the pre race organising and on the day is much appreciated.
Club Places for the London Marathon
As rejection slips are received before the end of October the allocation date for the club's places will be moved forward to late October/early November (rather than delaying things until the Xmas Run which is only two weeks before the entry deadline) - watch for further updates.
Our Chosen Charity - this 2011 initiative proved successful ,not only in terms of raising over £1000 for St John's Hospice Lancaster but by also adding to the club's activities eg a cross bay run ,orienteering evening, and a clay pigeon shoot.
The club's 2012 chosen charity is the Multiple Sclerosis Society .Mick Pearcy is our charity coordinator.
Please come forward with your money raising ideas and offers to organise events for 2012.
