The Tartan Games
Tartan Games, Gateshead, 27th August 2011
Member #M2978, John Steel form Cheltenham & Co. Harriers, intends to compete in the The Tartan Games, on the 27th August in Gateshead. At the moment there are NO masters/veteran races but the organizers have agreed to put races if enough masters/veterans enter. John wants to compete in the 100m and 200m and wants to know if any masters/veterans, whether members or not, are interested in entering, thus meaning he doesn’t have to compete against much younger adversaries!
Anyone interested should contact John on john@strictlymortgages.co.uk

Jo Ogden
We have just heard the sad news that long serving member Jo Ogden died of cancer on the 30th May 2011 in Lincoln Hospital. Jo joined MVAC, as it was then, in 1989 and still holds 6 Championship Best Performances in our Track & Field Championships, the earliest from 1990 and the latest from 2003. In recent years her health had deteriorated but she was always looking forward to competing again, maintaining her competition licence with England Athletics.
Colin Simpson writes:
“I was sorry to learn of the death of Jo Ogden. We corresponded for many years, particularly after she moved to Sleaford at Cranwell Village.
We shared a common hatred of the EU and she gave me a supply of stickers with “GB out” emblazoned prominently. After she moved to Sleaford, she complained that she could no longer practise her javelin throwing because the ground was too stony and it bent the point of the javelin!
A charming woman”. CS
Her Championship Best Performances are:
W60 Javelin 28.82; Solihull 1990 W60 Hammer 26.14; Solihull 1992 W65 100m 15.4; Solihull 1993 W65 200m 31.2; Solihull 1993 W65 Javelin 31.18; Solihull 1993 W75 Javelin 22.69; Solihull 2003R.I.P.

New Milton Keynes Marathon
29th April 2012
The time is right, next year, British Olympic Year, sees a major new marathon come to Milton Keynes.
This is a city marathon with a difference. With 4,500 acres of woodlands, lakesides, parks and landscaped areas within the city boundary, Milton Keynes is the ideal venue for a Green Marathon.
The course is traffic free on closed roads and cycle paths or “redways” as they are known locally and without any significant incline there is real PB potential for all participants.
