Awards Night. More spectacular than an olympic opening ceremony, more glamour than the Oscars and better organised than a NASA mission to Mars. Yes, it’s the annual Westbury Harriers Awards Night. Awards will presented to recognise the marvellous achievements over the last year of club members for athletic ability, effort, determination, volunteering and inspiration.
Catering will be provided and there will be a pay as you go bar. Unlike last year there will be a few breaks between presentations to give people the opportunity to have a leg stretch, grab food and drinks. Awards will then be followed by a disco to dance the night away.
It will be held at the Westbury Village Hall, Eastfield Road BS9 4AG. Doors open at 6:30pm with awards being presented at 7pm. Tickets, £5 each, Family of three £12, Family of four or more £15 and children under 7 are free and can be purchased using Paypal (or on the door). Please follow the link for details and payment.

Congratulations. Well done to to everybody who run the Bath Half Marathon yesterday, I hope you all enjoyed it. There were some fantastic results including a number of PB’s. Katie Hughes was just flying along, coming across the finish line in 1:22:34. But Katie was not alone as both Alex Hamblin and Ewan Paton also took home some PB’s. Ewan coming home in 1:23:05 (235th) and Alex in an amazing 84th place 1:16:38
It was also the Gloucester 20 (the last club championship even of the year) and again some impressive results by Westbury runners. Look out for the next results roundup for a full briefing.
