KENDAL WINTER LEAGUE 2009 - updated 28th April

Kendal Winter League - Austwick U12 Results - You may remember that we had some problems with the U12 results at Austwick. Following feedback from a number of people it seems that the results amongst the first 20 finishers were ok......but those after were not reliable. Rather than delete the results (which would have been unfair on all those who participated) we have decided to award all those outside the top 20 the same number of points......and these are reflected in the final league table. This does not affect the top finishers in the league and only has a minor impact on those below. Thank you for your patience with this. Tim

KENDAL WINTER LEAGUE - POINTS RACES
The league will now be decided from the best 7 from 10 races following the cancellation of Fell End Clouds.
I've made this decision knowing full well that whatever decision I make, there will be some people who will feel hard done to. So I apologise to them firstly.
Here's hoping for some better weather for the rest of the races. Alastair

Fell End Clouds - 8th Feb - CANCELLED - There is just too much snow still lying on the course today - Up to knee deep on the route - so I've decided to cancel as the situation will not have changed sufficiently prior to Sunday. The required parking isn't available either due to the drifts and the snow plough throwing all the snow to the side of the road. Please pass on this message to all those who you think may be planning to attend. Once I've decided what this means for the number of counting races I'll let you all know. Thanks, Alastair

Series Organiser's comments - The landowners have been accommodating again and all have agreed to allow us to run the races. The only change I've made is to introduce a race at Sedbergh School and keep the Helm as a backup race. John Richardson was keen to host a race and I think that it will encourage a lot of Sedbergh juniors to do some of the other races which can only be a good thing.

I've already had a number of volunteers to organise races on the day. Thanks go to them. I would like to hear from anyone interested in either taking a specific race on, or just helping out. All help is welcome and it is what allows us to run so many races. I'm looking for volunteers to organise Whitestone, Birkrigg, Fell End Clouds and Sedbergh School still. Can anyone wanting to volunteer please contact me at helmhillrunners@aol.com or give me a call on 01539 723 524. Alastair
