Ultra Joggler!

Club member Tim Butler not only took in the recent Grimsthorpe 70 mile race, but also juggled his way around the course!

This new event run by Fat Feet Running was held over seven laps of 10 miles at Grimsthorpe Castle, in the south of the county. Some 30 runners completed the gruelling event, with Tim coming home in 20 hours 28 minutes. The race began in the morning of Friday 23rd July, with most participants running through the night and finishing the following morning.

Tim has completed several Half Marathons and shorter races while 'Joggling', as well as the 26 mile Spires and Steeples Challenge and the club's recent 18 mile Bardney Express. Tim, who raises funds for the RSPCA through his efforts, has an ultimate goal of completing 100 miles of Joggling in 24 hours - which he believes would be a world record.

After entertaining members at the recentclub barbeque by juggling clubs, knifes and fire (!), Tim was back in racing action at the Newark Half Marathon. Ditching his usual soft juggling balls for heavy clubs proved tough on a hot day, with Tim coming home in a time of 2 hours 25 minutes.

Other ideas - Suggestions please

As we've said before, please give us ideas of what you want. Paul Pyrah suggested a bowling evening as this is usually enjoyed by everybody at the annual club presentation do and especially this year as it is going to take another format. If you think this is a good idea, let me know, Bowling is perhaps an event for the darker nights later in the year. Another suggestion I've had is a bike ride down the cycle railway with a picnic or calling at one of the pubs on route for a light lunch. Again, what do you think? We could also look at going to the Theatre Royal as another (more professional) theatre outing.

Thanks Ros
