Thanks to the volunteers
We are very grateful to the volunteers who made this event happen: John BURCHETT, Jane DI DINO, Iris FLEET, Matthew FLEET, Vivien GEARY, Ian GREGORY, Yvonne HAWLEY, Lynne JOLLEY, Kristian LAW, Nick LAY, Helen MAYHEAD, Edward MORRIS, Geoffrey NEWMAN, Sally RUMFITT, Carol SEYMOUR, Jason SMITH, Clive TUCKER, Maria TUCKER

Why not get involved and volunteer? This coming Saturday at Great Salterns we could do with another timekeeper, someone on finish tokens, tailwalkers and some marshals.
