Apologies for the problems in producing certificates. It was a
problem of planning to use better quality card, which wouldn't feed through the
printer. I believe the following have had certificates:
Jez Bragg, Colin Travis, Julian Brown, Gary Woolgar, Colm McCoy, Harry Sloan,
David Thornton, Les Hill, Sharon Gayter*, Kerry Booth, Glynn Morris*, Andrew
Mason, Mark Wilson, Paul Hart, Bill Watson, Samuel Kilpatrick, Jeremy Bolam,
Malcolm Coles*, Anne Wade, Vaughan Wade, Martin Dietrich*, Kevin Saville, Cath
Worth, Kendra Ann White, Glyn Sawford, Gary Attewell, Garth Peterson, Peter
Sarson, Philip Gwilliam, Roy Barnes*. * indicates certificate printed but
not collected. Certificates will be printed for the other individual
finishers and circulated with results IF a results envelope was submitted
(either in advance or on the day). These will be A5 size, on good quality card;
if you want the traditional A4 size, send an A4 SAE to the entries secretary
(details with initial certificate). Certificates not sent out will be
brought to the event next year.
We also ran out of T-shirts and badges.
If you missed out, please e-mail me, RRRres@hmarston.co.uk, to request a certificate (if you did not submit a results envelope) or T-shirt, stating size. For the certificate, I can e-mail an Acrobat .pdf ('tamper-proof') version that you can print yourself. You will get it quickest this way. You will still get the Official certificate eventually with the results. Good progress is being made, most info now being on the web.
BADGES If you are keen to have one, e-mail me and we will see what we can do. If you have a badge and either you didn't finish or you are not too bothered, please e-mail me so that we can pass it on to a real deserving case. I know I have several badges from previous years, but don't have much I want to do with them, whereas many walkers are keen to sew them onto rucksacks, jackets etc. Incentive: if you do return / pass on your badge, a £1 discount will be offered for next year's event.

First and last paragraphs
WEST Midlands man Jeremy Bragg made a remarkable winning debut in Saturday's 23rd running of Rowbotham's Round Rotherham 50 mile cross-country trail race. Despite the muddy underfoot conditions, 24-year-old Bragg covered the tracks, trails and roads around the borough in 6 hours 33 minutes 56 seconds-the second fastest achieved in the history of the race, behind Rotherham Harrier Chris Parkes' l996 course record of 6:17.
After 23 years the Rowbotham's Round Rotherham, which was pioneered by Rotherham Harriers long serving official Ralph Rowbotham, is as popular as ever and continues to attract entrants to the town from all around the country. This year's race was a record breaker with 71 walkers, 100 runners and 16 teams of eight relay runners taking part.
plus some comments from satisfied participants have been added
In line with a tradition in LDWA events, an award has been introduced for completing the event 10 times. Awards have been made to Roy Varo, Henry Marston, Dave Carratt, Kerry Booth, Mick Cochrane, George Kay, Terry Griffiths, Andrew West, Chris Sanders, David Fox, Mick Marsters, Brian Harney, Ian O'Mara, Tom Hughes, Bob Berzins, Peter Simpson, Percy Wellor, Martin Gaynor and Barry Harrison. The awards are based on my records; please let me know if there is an error (contact information below). Names get spelled differently in different years (Steve or Stephen), ladies marry, and certain names have been duplicated, easy when there were two Nigel Robinsons in one year, more difficult when there were John Whites in different years, from different clubs (which is not decisive) but different DOB (which is).
Additional awards were made this year to David Keward and Michael Collins.
That's a total of 21
Roy Varo was the first to be presented an award for reaching 20 completions.
Congratulations also to David Thornton, his 50th race in his 50th birthday year was appropriately 50 miles
Retirements are included with main results
