Sandy
Hill Physical Therapy Centre
Cornish Roadrunning Grand Prix Series 2007
Intro
Welcome to everyone for the Sandy Hill
Physical Therapy Centre Grand Prix Awards 2007
The
2007 GP comprised a full compliment of races, which meant that 8 races were needed
to qualify, from 14.
Roadrunning
in Cornwall is still going from strength to strength, with the majority of
races showing increased entries.
2007
has seen 478 men and 397 ladies entering at least one event, with 142
completing 8 or more races.
In
addition to this there are the winners of male and female Veteran categories,
and 18 runners have completed all fourteen races.
A new running club will be joining the Grand
Prix for 2008, St Austell Running Club. This is a big area of Mid Cornwall that
has never had a running club.
Tim Cotton and Robin Tucker at St Austell Trophies have provided
the trophies for this presentation, and as they only received the final numbers
on Wednesday this week, and had to order extra finishers memento’s, I think they
have done an excellent job.
If any Race Directors’ or clubs would like to consider Tim for
their club clothing, race prizes or memento’s, please contact him.
The email address is sales@staustell-trophies.co.uk or 01726 73077
They also have a website : www.staustell-trophies.co.uk
Introduction
to Ged Gilchrist, owner of Sandy Hill Physical Therapy Centre. (01726 67567)
GP is
again indebted to Ged and his physiotherapy practice in St Austell, for their
generous support and sponsorship.
Their
sponsorship is spent totally on these prizes, and Ged is now in his 2nd
year of a 3 year agreement.
Ged
also offers a discount to GP participants who attend his practice, and he has
confirmed that he will be sponsoring the GP for 2008.
He is
considering running a ‘Running Niggles and Injuries’ Clinic in the near future
and I hope it will be well supported.
Hand
over to Ged to say a few words.
