Gold, Gold and more Gold.

Golden Girl - Paula Williams This week's newsletter has been so much easier to produce thanks to the Triathlon, Road Race and T&F reports by Simon Taylor, Stu George and Phil Brennan. Thank you so much guys. There's another reminder for the forthcoming Club Championships on 12th September. Let's see if we can get lots of young and not so young members competing. We have news of last weekend's prestigious British Masters T&F Championships in Derby where Paula Williams won a scarcely believable 5 gold medals. Phil Brennan grabbed a gold and silver and Dave Wilson ran a PB in the 400m. I think we can call that a good day at the office. There's a report on Thursday's Warwickshire Open Graded meeting in Leamington. I'm thinking of renaming The Newsletter - The Newsleetter in recognition of Joe and Kim Lee's weekly extraordinary exploits. This week I was worn out just reading about their adventures in France. Despite being in the thick of starting a new job, Stu George has come up with the second of his road race reports and it's another cracker.
