Colin Kirkham’s Marathon Trudge
London Marathon 2010
You may be aware that two years ago I organised a marathon in Coventry which was run in 5 stages, part of the profit made was given to two charities for disabled children … well now I am trying something different. Refer to
colinkirkhamslondonmarathontrudge.blogspot.com
I am giving away my London Marathon medal, my t-shirt, foil blanket, runners bag etc.. To win the one of your choice you have to guess my finishing time!!! Oh yes, and you have to donate £1 for every guess.
Either donate to Just Giving/ Tim Tims Children Centre or Just Giving / Newlife.
Tiny Tims is a local Coventry charity providing free physiotherapy for disabled children, Newlife is a national charity providing equipment for disabled kids.
Never before have I asked to be sponsored … but my suffering would appreciate a bit of support.

Marshals for BMAF XC Champs, 12th March 2011
There are still volunteers needed to help with marshalling the BMAF XC Championships to be held on the 12th March in Perry Park, Birmingham.
Birchfield Harriers who so kindly agreed to co-organise this event with Midland Masters AC, have a very big XC event the week before and cannot be expected to supply all the marshals for both events on consecutive weekends. I am therefore once more appealing to any members who perhaps are injured and cannot compete in the event to consider helping us out. The first of 2 races starts at 12 noon and marshals will be required to “sign” in at no later than 11.15 am in the Birchfield Harriers Club Room at the Alexander Stadium.
It is an easy course to marshal but we do need at least another 10 volunteers.
If you can help then please either make a comment on this post giving your email address or contact me at mmac.sec@blueyonder.co.uk

Whittington Cricket Club Quiz 2011
One of our members, Barrie Taylor, has been compiling a quiz for the Whittington Cricket Club for some years now. His latest is now available. Barrie has written to me giving all the details. Please support him in his efforts……..
Hello All,
Once again, I have produced a quiz to help raise some very much needed to funds for a second ground for my local cricket club. Having bought the land, levelled it, seeded it and laid the square, we are now in the process of b
uilding a pavilion and, although we will be receving some grants and will be taking out a loan with the ECB, we will still be about £120,000 short, which we have to find somehow. As they say at Tesco, however, “every little helps” and by purchasing a quiz, you could help us realise our dream. It would also help if you tell your friends, colleagues, etc about it.
As in years before, all the answers are the names of places in Great Britain. There are 100 questions and the closing date is 31st October. Whoever gets the most correct answers will win £50. Quiz sheets cost £1 each and may be obtained by sending a SAE and £1 (coin or cheque payable to Whittington Cricket Club) to me, Barrie Taylor, 23 The Spires, Lichfield, Staffs, WS14 9RP
Thank you,
Barrie
