A number of Thames men and women joined men's Captain Nic Gould in Amsterdam for a belated birthday celebration. The Captain's full report is awaited, but earlier indications are of an impressive third ladies spot for Liz Straveski in the half with 1:23:09, and a sub 2:30 performance for Dave Alcock in the marathon.

Thames masters shone in chilly conditions in Richmond Park. The ladies set the pace with Denise Harris taking home individual first V35 leading home Vikki Filsell(also third V40)and Kate Symons to first V35-45 team. Alison Carpenter also ran well for third V55. New V40 Stuart Major led the men's race from start to finish, David Symons was inspired to second spot and Dave Moore ran a hard fought race for fifth to ensure first V40-50 team.

Both our ladies and mens team got off to an excellent start to defending the Surrey League titles with both teams taking second place. The Ladies were led home by fine debuts from Ruth Clifton and Clare Donovan and just pipped HHH to second place behind the winners SLH. For the men it was the quartet of Phill Sly, Neil Chisholm, John McFarlane and Stuart Major near the front helping us to finish 2nd, just 5 points behind HHH. Full mens results can be found here and the Ladies results here (team and link to full results at bottom of page).
