Club Race Report – 8th January 2023
Hopefully by this stage you’ve finally finished off the last of the brie and the Christmas cake and the new year’s resolutions are still intact. My resolution to stay off PBs for the whole year is working really well so far. Just need to hang in there.

And Obviously Dermot Boyd 1:12:26
But never mind results and PBs, what you all want to know is, what was the answer to last week’s quiz question? Well, the answer was Alan Erwin. So well done to everyone who got that one.
A harder question this week though:
Which Harrier watches the first Alvin & the Chipmunks movie on a weekly basis?
Send your answers on a postcard to:
The Alan Erwin Quiz
Pebble Mill
Birmingham
B16 2FU
And one last reminder about the club’s very own XC event next week. One more chance to enter or volunteer or both.
So, this week’s tune is to encourage you to step up and get involved at the XC next week.
If you don’t then I will give you this tune every week for the rest of the year. You have been warned.
Until next week, behave.
