Little ERN 10km Race and ERN Christmas Dinner

Saturday, 1 December 2007

Little ERN was held this year in good weather; dry, slightly overcast but with a stiff breeze. Good turnout, giving up their christmas shopping, made for a competitive event on the day. All times were very close to estimates, mostly under their predictions, although most were also slightly slower than in 2006 probably due to the wind. Many thanks to Fi, Gordon, Fraser and Gordon who acted as marshals. Apologies to anyone else not mentioned.

Times and positions were as follows. For comparison, 2006 times for those that took part are also shown:

The ERN Christmas Dinner was held later on the same day at Henderson's Bistro, Thistle Street. Following the same high standards as last year, great vegetarian food, and lots of it, along with good company made for a very enjoyable evening all round. Everyone adjourned their full stomachs to the nearby bar where, joined by others who couldn't make the dinner, a few frothies were taken. Many thanks to Jo Parry for organizing the event.
