CASTLE HILL POINT TO POINT and JUNIOR HANDICAP RACES 24th SEPTEMBER 2016
Results


A good turn out for both Junior and Senior races on a blustery, dry and quite warm autumn day. Seniors started to gather from 9:30 and were warming up ready as the juniors started to arrive. The Senior race began at 10am, as their race would take about 30 minutes - just enough time for the juniors to run. That way we were able to have the presentations together at the end about 11 am.

There was lots of support from parents and several helped as marshalls on the course. The presentations were held in the Newsome Scout Hall and we are very grateful for the use of the building. Maybe we could suggest the scouts join in next year? David ensured medals and trophys were ready, but we did forget safety pins so couldn't use the numbers! (Note for next year). There was a bit of confusion on one corner with the Juniors as there were works taking place in the playground area but all returned safely. Well done everyone and thanks to the helpers and spectators. More next year!
