Dublin Marathon 2007: Club member Rob Sellors had a good run in this event on the 29th Oct., & got a new PB of 3hrs13mins despite being wrongly placed in "the rear slow, fun runners / walkers starting pen".

Well done Sir!

We had a team, see picture below, in the Viking Longboat Boat Races in Peel, on Saturday 4th August. The VIKING VETS were sponsored by Manx Print Care. This team was in the mixed races (5 men & 5 women), rowing in the afternoon and appreciated some support from people on the quayside. The team T-shirts were bright Kelly Green with yellow writing -- you couldn’t miss them! They did very well, beating several other teams. Our team members were Geoff and Moira Hall, Dave and Lynn Quine, Arnie Jacobs, Ingrid Sugden, Les Brown, Rob Gallanders, Mo Kelly and Sue Ackroyd.

Pictured below are a few members from our Club & Western AC who went across to York to take part in The Brass Monkey 1/2 Marathon. Missing from the photo is Catriona Farrant
