2005 Championship Report & RESULTS

Well done to the category winners. In the men’s open Nick Sharp retained his position as the club’s foremost runner with 3 wins and a maximum 33 points. After his strongest year yet Dan Golding claimed second with a win at Coniston and good runs at Buttermere and wansfell. Jon Deegan was not far behind in third after stirling performances at wansfell and Grasmere.

There was a disappointing turn out in the vet 40 category with Dave Owen and Stuart Shuttleworth  winning one race each and there being no clear victor. With wins at Coniston and Langdale, Neil Walmsley took the V50 title ahead of the evergreen Dave Ablitt.

The ladies championship was hotly contested between Sue  Wood and Jane Leather. Sue came out on top with 3 wins at Langstrath, Grasmere and Langdale.

The championship has not proved to be as popular this year. Perhaps the answer is to go back to 2 races from 3 or maybe any 3 races from 6 but no championship races? I’ll take a straw poll at the AGM so if you’ve any good ideas let me know.
