 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. But, on the second Wednesday of each month we meet at the Puma tennis centre at Silksworth at the same time.
Check here for a map to the Puma Centre.
If in doubt, get in touch to verify our meeting place to avoid disappointment.
All ages and abilities are welcome. We currently have about 80 paid up members, including about 15% women. Ages range from early twenties to mid 60's but most are 40+.
We currently have 4 or 5 groups running on a Wednesday. Fast, medium and slow runners do 7 to 9 miles at various speeds. Then we have the brisk joggers, doing 5 to 6 miles at about 9 minutes/mile and the slow joggers who do 3 to 4 miles at about 11minutes/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.
Friday, Barnes pub carpark 6:00pm for a steady 7-8 miles.
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. In 2003 we have plans for the Tour of Tameside week in Manchester and the Luxembourg half Marathon in September.We take part in the local Cross Country league (The North East Harrier League). Last year we finished bottom of division 1 and were relegated to division 2. People with an interest in cross country are very welcome (and very necessary!) to help us get get promoted back to Division 1 this year.
Joining the Strollers will cost £5 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 £33.00 per year which includes £10 of beer tokens) 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 £1 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.
IT’S WINTER HANDICAP TIMERoll up, Roll up it’s your favourite time of the year - the club winter handicap which starts next month. In order to make the Handicap rules a little easier to understand so that you can maximise your effort on the night here are Bob’s rules on how he calculates your handicap and league position.1.If you get a course p.b. you move down 5 league positions. 2.Whoever finshes 13th it’s unlucky for some as you move down the league 4 positions. 3.If you finish ahead of Bob he adds 15 seconds minimum to your finish time. 4.If the event is held on a full moon night and you are wearing Nike running shoes then you are demoted 4 places. 5.Any new members automatically finish in the top three no matter where they come in the race. 6.If you are coming back from injury you are bound to stand a chance of winning a handicap race. You will then be relegated to be one of the last to set off !! NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND ? |

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. .
This year the winner of each race will receive a commemorative medal.
Individual and team trophies will be awarded at the end of the season. Teams of 3 are to be submitted to Wilson by the 18th June.
