First of all my apologies for the lateness of publishing these results. I got landed with the job on the day as the nearest member of the EAOA committee at the wrong moment! A virus infection (computer not me) put me out of action for a bit and then Christmas and a ski-ing holiday got in the way.
Secondly an explanation of how I decided to award the trophies. As advertised, they were awarded on EAGAL courses. These were given to all competitors by RAFO so if you ran the wrong course for your class, it was your own decision. Where it has got complicated is when competitors have run up and beaten runners in the class for the course. I have awarded the trophy to the first eligible runner on the course. Only members of EAOA affiliated clubs are eligible for trophies. The Joan George trophy for the best performance by a junior was awarded to Suzy Robertson of SOS who as a W18 ran up on the blue course to win W20 trophy and beat all W21’s as well.
On the question of trophies, we were a large number missing on the day. Please could all holders of EA champions for 2000 who have not retained there trophy let their club rep have the trophy to bring to the January EAOA committee meeting. If you are waiting to receive a trophy, hopefully you will get it via the club rep after this.
Finally a big thank you to RAFO for agreeing to cover the championship at very short notice. I think they did an excellent job and I thoroughly enjoyed my run. Thank you also to all who supported the EA Junior Squad cake and soup stall. We raised £78. Look out for us at future events.
