THE JOHN STINSON REPORT

Caversham held their Vice President's 5000 Metres races in fine conditions at Forbury Park Raceway last Saturday. A large turnout led to some excellent racing on an ideal surface. The Senior Race was won by new member Debbie Hopkins in a time of 23.39 from Bevan Stevens who recorded fastest time of 16.08 with Geoff Anderson 3^rd in 17.48 and John Landreth 4^th in 20.43. Ben Anderson recorded 2^nd fastest time of 16.29 and Lyndon Marfell 3^rd fastest of 16.50. Kerry Rowley was the fastest Woman with 20.39 followed by Maria Sleeman 21.17 and Esther Sibbald 21.59.

Julie Edmunds decisively won the Walkers 5km starting off a Handicap of 11.00 while also recording fastest time of 30.03. Julie was followed by Gordon Cameron 34.49, Jim Kerse 33.54 and Ian McDonald who recorded 2^nd fastest time of 30.29. Tom Cockerill was 3rd fastest with 31.46. Twenty-eight Walkers participated on Saturday.

The Children's 1km was won by D’Arcy Edmunds in 4.17 with Josh Thom 2^nd and Ben Rowley 3^rd Andrew Smith was fastest time with 4.09.

Caversham enjoyed success at the Athletics Otago Awards Evening held on May 10^th. The highlight for the club was the award of the List Shield for most points at the Otago Track and Field Championships for the first time since 1955. Daniel Balchin was judged Winter Athlete of the Year and Ben Anderson the most improved Athlete over the Summer Season.

PRESIDENTIAL PRATTERINGS —15^th May:

Well, that was another successful event last Saturday and congratulations to everyone who participated. Didn't I tell you that you would enjoy trotting around the Forbury Park Raceway?

These events are a chance to go where a lot of people don’t get the opportunity and to see it from the viewpoint of the horses that normally race around there. Brian Watkins deserves a big thank you for organising the event, as do all the officials who helped, and Monsignor John Harrison and Mary Vincent for compiling the results.

This Saturday sees the running of the "Ponydales" Cross Country Relays at the Pony Club grounds on Three Mile Hill just up past the Ashburn Clinic. Teams have been selected and listed below. Malcolm will email all runners as usual later in the week. For those runners not competing, you may want to have a run around the grounds or just watch and encourage our athletes. Good luck to all. Kieran will be organising pack walks for our walking group and will let you know more in his weekly email. For those who don't have access to a computer, you won't be reading this anyway, but keep an eye on Thursday’s ODT for information.

The following Saturday, we will be the guests of Civil Service Harrier Club and will be running/walking from their club rooms on Tahuna Road. These joint runs are an old tradition and give an opportunity to enjoy the company of the members of the oldest club in Dunedin. (They outdo Caversham by two years).

Keep an eye on the Winter Calendar (Syllabus) for upcoming events such as the annual trek over the Pineapple Track and remember, if you have an idea for a run or walk over some favourite territory, let us know.

Cheers,
Colin.
