Social Events
Despite the best efforts of the weather, yesterday's BBQ was a success thanks to the hard work by Dunc, Nick and others. It seems that there is a demand for club social events so if anyone fancies organising another do this Summer do let us know.

Lake District Mountain Trial 2008
Entries for the 2008 LDMT are now open. See www.ldmta.org.uk for online entry details and postal entry form.
Maybe not quite as much pressure to race, as much as just to enjoy a run on the fells. Recommended reading is the short book -'Fifty Years Running. A history of the Mountain Trial', a few copies in Rathbones.
The inaugural race was in 1952, from the Old Dungeon Ghyll in Great Langdale, and took in Bowfell, Esk Pike, Scafell Pike, Great Gable, Esk Hause and Rosset Gill, won by Roland Moore(Leyland Motors) in 3hours 42minutes and 39seconds. A barrel of cider as prize for the winner was shared and appreceated, with the remainder taken home aboard the winners motorbike!
A glance at the fastest times for trials over the years reveals some familiar names, J. Naylor. W Bland, D.G.Overton, C.Valentine, but never a Keswick AC winner -Maybe this year.
P.S. -if anyone has any inside infomation on the venue this year, let me know if you could use a free pair of walshes, or notes in an an unmarked brown envelope.
