Thanks to everyone who helped out, and of course those who took part in the first running of this event since 2019. The new format seemed to be a hit, but any feedback is welcome. Congratulations to Elaine for winning the massive trophy for the second time, and also to Tom and Jacky who were the man and woman closest to their handicap times, thus winning themselves a trip round the Hook Norton Brewery. Here is Elaine, with the aforementioned trophy, and Simon looking suitably impressed.   Here are the results, in terms of who beat their handicap by most. Some more facts and figures may follow.

A smallish ERR turnout for this scenic and friendly, if tough, local gem. Congratulations to Katherine and Jane for the category prizes, which I suspect neither of them were aware of at the time. Club champs tables have now been updated.

A decent number of ERRs out for the traditional end of series (and summer?) race at Kidlington. Well done to Kate for winning her category and to Katherine for finishing 3rd in hers. I think there were also series prizes, but don't know the details as yet.

A glorious day at Hook Norton saw some glorious ERR performances. Well done to our various category winners and to Tom for finishing 3rd senior man, as well as Queenie, who was 2nd LV65 but didn't get a prize. Had there been team prizes I think ERR would have won both men's and women's but, bearing in mind the amount of beer we took home, maybe we shouldn't be greedy.

For some reason, the official results have no mention of anyone's club at the moment, so apologies if I've missed anyone with my old school check of the results. Well done to our various category prize winners, and we can't even put it down to the 'Hornton effect' of no one else having turned up. The Club Championship scores will be updated a bit later, but let me know if anyone in addition to Adam and Steve played their jokers.

The official results were quite slow to come out for a race with 56 finishers, but I suppose that's in keeping with the 'homespun' nature of the event, Anyway, 56 finishers also meant that it was something of a trophy-fest and joker-fest for the 11 ERR folk who took part..

Great to see so many ERRs at a very friendly local race. They didn't award any category prizes, so I won't mention any category positions and, whilst it's tempting to list the raffle prize winners, I can't remember them all. Any other jokers or PBs (I think there may have been a few), please let me know.
