With large plasma screens for people who can't tear themselves away from the box for too long, actually we were able to watch a Golden League athletics meeting there after one race last year which made a nice change.

The May 2007 race was also a notable day as that was the one I came last in (and got Lyme Disease). Happy days!

All joking aside about their appalling lack of race publicity, lets see plenty of support for this race on Wednesday please.

Dee just said he's coming along, I don't know if he's in low 17s fitness yet.

Good evening's racing (apart from the stayaways . . . boo, hiss !)
Steve 16:39
Dee 17:30 (estimated, finished like a scalded Usain Bolt according to several observers)
Glyn 18:28
Paul Dawes 18:50
Ron 18:58
Me 19:42
Jim 20:20 ?
Alan provided the "dig in" support.
Good to see lots of former regulars back.
Ron won V60 and the V60 Series, Glyn won first V45 on the night and controversially I was awarded V45 series winner, which of course should have been Glyn's, I offered him the £15 but he's too kind for that so I'm going to give it to that well-known charity. . . Inov8
There were no V35 female series prizes awarded due to nobody doing all three races, a lesson there about turning up.

Well done everyone, very fast times there. Dee's sprint finish is certainly worth watching, I've seen it a few times at Gwent League.

It's far easier and cheaper to just buy 3 bottles of wine for a tenner  |

The series prize is £15, so you just have to win one bottle to break even
