| RYDE 10 miles - the 7th race in the HRRL series takes place on Sunday 5th February and is the challenging yet so rewarding Ryde 10 miles. If you are planning on taking a car over to the Island remember that the club is willing to cover travel costs (well the ferry bit anyway), and Wightlink's current special offer is the Super Saver, which is just £37.00 for a car and 4 people. A fifth person can always travel as a foot passenger, if you have room. Also if you do have spare spaces, please could you let me know, as it would be great to maximise any spare seats, if you don't mind sharing of course. If you need a ride to Ryde, let me know I will try and help out. Ferries (to Fishbourne) depart on the hour every hour both ways. The race starts at 11am, so 9am going out will allow ample time to warm up pre race, and 2pm home will allow ample time to warm up in the bar afterwards too;-) Cheers Graham gebell@ntlworld.com / 07801 594085 | |

| EVERY year a group of Stubbies cross the Channel to take part in this superb weekend of running. There are four races over four days; a 10k, 4.5 mile cross country, 4 x 2 mile relay and a half marathon; you choose which you do. More... |  |
| DEAR Stubbies - I have planned a couple of training runs over the next month in preparation for the SDW challenge on Saturday 25th February. This starts from QE Country Park with a choice of 8.5, 15 or 20 miles. This Sunday 22nd January 2012 starting at Droxford Church at 9.00 am. This would be a circular route to Beacon Hill, Exton and possibly Old Winchester Hill which can be varied to between 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours and spilt into groups if appropriate. Sunday 5th February. Starting at Selbourne and running south along the Hangers Way towards Steep. This is a very enjoyable route and well sign posted, I would lead a “B” group with a distance of 11/12 miles and an “A” group could run 15/16 miles. We could set off from the car park immediately before the Selbourne Arms at 9.00 am and afterwards take refreshments in the Gilbert White Museum or the Selbourne arms. Please send an Email or phone 01329 237550 or 07500 544335 if you are interested in either run. I can offer lifts from 29 Arundel Drive Fareham PO16 7NP. Andy Lee. | |

| NOW that another successful Stubbington 10k has taken place it's time to try out another club's organisational skills. Never mind local races in the wilds of Alton, Farnham or Portsmouth it's time for a race on the other side of the channel. More... |  |
| I successfully completed the Santa 10k back on the 11th December in aid of Motor Neurone disease, I hope to raise around £1200. Thank you to everyone that sponsored me, anyone who has still to pay, I will be at the training sessions on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th and at the Todays Runner on 29th. Regards Mike Clarke. |  |
| THE Hampshire Cross Country Championships returned to Dibden Inclosure after a couple of years break and saw a record breaking (definitely in recent years) number of 23 Stubbies competing. More... |  |
| ON a very sunny though crisp day 20 Stubbies made their way to Lord Wandsworth College, Long Sutton for the first ever Todays Runner event to take place on a Monday although conditions on the course were very wet and muddy which took its toll on a number of runners. More... |  |
| IMPORTANT NOTICE - If you are marshalling at the 10k please don’t forget there will be marshals’ meetings on Thursday, January 12th and Friday, January 13th at Crofton Community Centre at 7.30pm. Anyone marshalling MUST make one of the dates. Thanks. | |
| HANTS league XC - For those who aren’t running the 10k on Sunday the Hampshire League Cross Country still needs runners to turn out for the club on Saturday. The mens team need at least 5 men for the team and the vets team are currently in 2nd place in Div 2 and need a good turn out to maintain this position. Get there early as Bournemouth are playing at home. | |
| AN awesome xmas period to celebrate the best career and life decision! More... |  |
| VOLUNTEERS wanted to become involved in local Olympic events. More info here - www.Fareham.gov.uk/fareham2012 | |
| CLUB member Matt Abbott has managed to get into the National Lottery Olympic stadium run in March. Unfortunately he will have to wear a generic shirt, so no Stubbington green vest in the stadium. | |
DID you miss out on the London Marathon ballot and still want to enter? The Hampshire Autistic Society has just had a place become available for this April’s race, and the Whiteley-based charity is looking for someone to take the place. |

| ANNUAL Xmas Walk - Tuesday 27th December Many of you will be aware that for the last 2 years I've organised a Xmas walk for members, family & friends. We will be meeting at the Solent Hotel at 10.30 and stop at the Horse & Jockey. The walk will be 6 miles. Perhaps you could let me know if you are considering coming so that I can warn the pub of approximate numbers. Contact me at caroline.street@ntlworld.com if you are interested. |

| HASH Run - Wednesday 28th December Having joined Portsmouth Hash House Harriers events several times this year, it's now our turn to organise a hash. Julie Bowden and I have planned a route from the Golden Bowler, Stubbington. It will start at 3pm (meet at 2.45 for instructions) and the main route will be around 5.5 miles. Why not introduce yourself to Hash running? If you intend to go into the pub afterwards then you may wish to bring a spare pair of shoes as we will be doing some off-road. A torch also would also be useful for finding the route as it will be dark by the time you've followed the route and reached the pub. Instructions will be given at the start. As with all hash runs - we'll be drinking at the end at the Golden Bowler, if you wish. Please contact me at caroline.street@ntlworld.com if you are interested or want more information. The attached picture is from the midsummer Xmas hash!! Hashes are really good fun ... and a bit mad (probably why I like them!) - there is no theme for our hash on 28th so normal running gear will be fine. |

| WITH a few of the club's runners unavailable through illness, holiday or choosing to do another event it was a depleted team of 17 Stubbies which headed to Farnham for the second Todays Runner cross country which took place at Bourne Woods. More... |  |
