Veteran Lady runner of the year. The nominations were again Jayne Dickens, Jo Donnelly and Rose Wilson and the winner was Rose Wilson who has done magnificently in the LV45 & LV50 age groups.
 

Marathon Performance of the year. A very difficult choice between Jayne's performance at London, Mel Dougan at Rotterdam and Paul Burslem and the winner was Jayne Dickens which saw her place one of the best LV40 in the country.

Most Improved Runner of the year. A lucrative award won by some great names over the years (lol) and the choices were between Jo Donnelly, Paul Gibbings and Paul Burslem and the winner was Jo Donnely who has had a fantastic season off road and in cross country.

Achievement of the year. This was a two way choice between the Ladies Cross Country Team and the Lady Veteran cross country team and the unanimous winner was the Ladies Cross Country Team. Those receiving awards were Jayne, Jo, Sarah, Adela, Debbie and Louise.

Please Note: If you have won any of the above trophies but were unable to recieve your award on the night then please email me as I have all the ones that were not collected here!

The above winners were chosen by committee members whilst the categories below were be voted for by the club membership.

Club Person Of The Year. There were several very deserving names put forward including Gareth Williams, Jill Phillips, Lionel Jones, Ken Rushton & Dan Clowes, and it ended up in a two way tie for Ryan Procter & Richard O'Keeffe. For some reason Richard, as Club Chairperson, had the deciding vote and the award went to Ryan Procter. I know that Ryan is slightly embarrassed by this award and can think of many people more deserving but is absolutely humbled by it and would like to thank all members who make it such a great club.

Golden Trainer Award.  The Golden trainer is awarded to someone who has made a gaffe or a fool of themselves in some way that season. It is sometimes referred to as the Dave Filmer Award as he has been the recipient many times throughout the years, and there were actually no nominations this year.
The only instance anyone could think came from Jo Donnelly, who during the Apedale Dash rather stupidly in my opinion decided to follow Ryan along with Sarah Johnson who had made a wrong turn into a derelict industrial estate. I'm not sure who of the two was more foolish here but somehow Ryan ended up with it for the second year running after inadvertedly stealing Paul Gibbings Bag last year!
