 Hello there, I'm Woody. I belong to Sunderland Strollers, a running club based at Ashbrooke Sports club in Sunderland, England. If you would like to be seen in a smart vest like mine, get in touch. I'm sorry about the bag, but some animation company apparently produced a character that looks a bit like me and then objected to my picture! They said "Our feeling is that Woody distorts our copyright character." The cheek of some folk! Look here for the full text.

We meet at 7:10pm most Wednesdays at Ashbrooke Sports Club, West Lawn, Ashbrooke,Sunderland, England.
Check here for a map.
If in doubt, get in touch to verify our meeting place to avoid disappointment.
All ages and abilities are welcome. We currently have about 150 paid up members, including about 30% women. Ages range from 17 to 70 but most are 40+.
We currently have 4 groups running on a Wednesday. Fast, medium and slow runners do 7 to 9 miles at various speeds. Then we have the joggers, doing 4 to 6 miles at about 11-12 minutes/mile. So, come along, give it a go, you'll not get left behind.
We also meet at other times but Wednesday is the best time to come along as a beginner because we have a bigger turnout and we go for a drink afterwards.
Other meeting times and places are:
Monday 6:15pm prompt at the underpass next to the Silksworth Lane/Premier Road roundabout. 4-5 miles steady run (30-40 minutes).
Friday, Barnes pub carpark 6:05pm for a steady 7-8 miles (60-65 minutes).
Sunday 9:00am Barnes Pub carpark for anything from 8 to 20 miles depending on which group you run with.
Feel free to turn up and join in.
Mail Woody for more details.
Take the running as seriously as you want. Some members never race, just using the club as a sociable way to keep fit, others race most weeks.
We run mostly local races, but do venture further afield from time to time. Most years we do the Saunders Mountain Marathon in July and in 2006 we also had trips to the Isle of Man, Majorca and Barcelona.For 2009 we are considering Isle of Man, Budapest and Luxembourg. Stay tuned!
We take part in the local Cross Country league (The North East Harrier League). This year the men are in division 2 having been relegated last season. People with an interest in cross country are very welcome to help us get back to division 1 this year. The Ladies finished 5th overall last season and are hoping to improve this year.
Joining the Strollers will cost £10 per year and, if you regularly use the facilities of Ashbrooke (changing rooms,showers, bar), then you should become a social member of that club (currently £38.50 per year which usually includes £10 of beer tokens if you join in January) but don't let that put you off, come along for a few weeks to see if it's your sort of club. If not then you lose nothing. If you like it then you can join. Also as a member of a UKAthletics registered club you will get a £2 discount on any UKA races you enter, not bad for a fiver.
To see what sort of runs we do on Club Night (Wednesday), take a look at our training schedule for this year.

This is a sealed handicap. Everyone has been given an handicap time, small for the fast runners and big for the slower runners, which will be deducted from your official finishing time to give your position in the race.
Times will be taken from official results, points will be allocated at 50 points for the first Stroller in each race, 49 for 2nd, 48 for third etc. .
Best 4 races count for the individual awards, all 5 races count for the team awards.
Individual and team trophies will be awarded at the end of the season. Teams of 3 are to be submitted by the evening of the second race.
There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd individual and winning and runner up teams.

For the 2010 Club Championship the best 8 from the following 13 races will count with others only being taken into account in the event of a tie.
5 points for a p.b. in a championship race, on a measured course, you have to have run the distance before to claim a p.b.
10 points for each Harrier League race completed.
In the event of a clash, another race (maybe Loftus?) may be added. Depends how late in the year any clash occurs – committee will make a decision if needed.
Divisions as previous years.
