2012 Senior Club Championships

The 2011 Club Championships were a great success with 62 club members scoring at least one point (52 scored in 2010). The season ended with Ben Abdelnoor taking the trophy as men’s champion and Hazel Robinson being crowned ladies champion.

The format for 2012 will remain the same with 10 local races included in the Championships. Your best 5 scores from these races will count towards your final score at the end of the season.

Please note that due to the recommendations of the 1862 Select Committee on Weights and Measures the FRA has bowed to pressure and 'gone metric'. The "m" stands for metres, the "km" means kilometres and is a little bit less than a mile.

The point scoring system remains imperial and will work exactly as last year: 1st open male finisher gets 21 pts, 2nd 19 pts, 3rd 18 pts... down to 20th male finisher getting 1 pt. In the other categories: ladies open, ladies V40, men V40 and men V50 the point scoring system begins with 11 pts for first finisher, 9 pts for second etc.

This season sees more short and medium races to encourage more folk to enter into the spirit of the Club Champs. Ennerdale is the super-long of the selection, although Duxbury's favourite, Grisedale Horseshoe, is no push-over medium. Out-going Captain Ian Barnes is record holder for the Turner Landscape, a great race in the Duddon Valley that could do with our Club's support.

The short races include Causey Pike, a classic race just outside Keswick; the hair-raising New Dungeon Ghyll with it's epic climb and the wonderful end-of-season finale at Dunnerdale.

The medium races include an extended version of the Reston Scar Scamper to celebrate Pete and Anne Bland's 50th Wedding Anniversary; Anniversary Waltz, another northern classic around the Newlands Valley, and a mid-week treat on the Helvellyn range.

Subject to approval, we should be having our annual orienteering event on that mighty Lakeland bastion of invincibility: Loughrigg Fell.

Any questions, comments  or complaints don't hesitate to get in touch

Have fun, enjoy the season and always be over-competitive.
