Written by DB

The contest for the Club's Marathon is almost certainly settled as the year draws to a close - the trophy looks set for Ross Shaddick's mantelpiece in Devon though there is still chance for someone else to grab the prize if they beat Ross's time in the last 4 days of 2006!!

STOP PRESS - Catherine would not have been a happy bunny in NY,running in at 4h.22.03. Mark made it to 19 miles.

At Abingdon it's PBs for Nicky Atkins(3.36.34 for 298th - 6 mins imp.and bettering her own Club Vets record),a massive one for Lois Kerrison(3.40.37 for 325th - 40 mins imp.) & a debut for Susan Cook,Edmund Croall's mother(670th in 5.24.47). Bob ran out of legs,sadly,at 19m and came home in 3.56.10(447th).Full results at - www.abingdonamblers.co.uk
