For a fun, exhilarating way to beat the January blues, club members swapped their fluffy slippers for running shoes and treated their supporters to a sideline with a view as they took part in the Somerley 5 and 10k race.

Set entirely in the beautiful grounds of the private Somerley Estate setting in Ringwood, the race provides a picturesque kick-start to the New Year.

Now in its 11th year, the Somerley event has become one of the largest charity running events in the region.

Well done to all that took part and to club members;  Stuart Glenister, Shelley Bloomfield, David Bourne, Ivan Whitehead, Gavin Kewley, Sharon Glenister and Vicky Myers.

Happy New Year to all.  As some sat back and relaxed on New Year’s day one of our club members donned on her fancy dress costume and turned to the North Downs to take part in the ‘Trionium’s  Knacker Cracker 10k’.

In a strong effort to burn off those Christmas calories and blow away the festive cob webs, Katrina Yerbury took to the hills, slopes and steps and completed the challenging course in a very commendable time of 84mins 05sec.  Hopefully she also had time to take in some of the surrounding views of Mole Gap, Denbies Vineyard and the sweeping views across Dorking!  Well done Katrina and great costume.  It was a job to recognise you!

A fine start to the year for Zoom club members and no doubt 2012 will bring many more results and achievements.  Good luck to all.

Even with Christmas just around the corner club members are still out and about racing and breaking their own PB’s.

Well done to Pat Robbins, Andy Horsley, Jerry Shield, Dean Letchford and Sarah Barrrett.

On Sunday the 18^th December a handful of members took off to Portsmouth for the annual winter Portsmouth Marathon.  The conditions were good, the pace was set and all three club members ran a fantastic race achieving some great times.  Well done guys.

The previous week or so on the 27^th November was the Boscombe 10k which saw four club members running some great times also.  An all round good effort and great times to be recorded.  Goes to show that all the club training has been put to good use.  Well done to you all.

To all club members, keep up the training and hard work through the winter and have a great Christmas.

Almost as prestigious as the Oscars Friday 2^nd December was the annual Zoom Christmas dinner along with the annual award ceremony.

Although the table below only shows five names there have been many, many members throughout the club that have had great achievements in the year and could easily have taken any of the awards.  The decision on who wins what was very close in all the areas and was decided by club members and the opportunity to vote in each category.

Well done to the finalists: Pat Robbins, Chris Booth, Robbie Ryan, Sarah Barrett and Corinne Ellison.

To everybody else, keep up the hard work and who knows, ‘It could be you’!

The long awaited Downton Half marathon got underway this Sunday after being cancelled last year due to heavy snow and ice.  Previous years have also had competitors running in down pours of rain and thunderstorms and this year was looking no different at the break of dawn, however through chance and the grace of the Gods, the clouds and drizzle cleared to reveal a clear blue sky. I’m pleased to report that 5 Zoom members set off, and 5 returned.  Well done to Paolo De Luca, Matt Vail, John Griffiths, Katrina Yerbury and David Crichton.

This past Sunday saw the return of the Wimborne 10 mile road race.  This scenic route event is always well attended and this year was no different with 436 people, of which 20 were Zoom members.  Some members were out to get a PB, some using the race toward their training whilst others just went for the cake at the end!  Well done to you all, and great results from all 20.

When faced with the option to run into a strong head wind whilst negotiating large piles of seaweed, I think it would be fair to say that most people may decline, but not club member Helen Wright.

Helen set off on the Milford & Keyhaven 5 mile road race (24^th Oct 2011) with sheer determination and will power, and came across the line to take 3^rd place in the Female Vet category.

With a time of 40min 37sec Wendy also claimed 9^th Overall Female.

Excellent show or courage Helen, well done.

A warm October evening and a sand covered prom greeted more than 20 club members for the first race in the popular Boscombe 5K winter series. A head wind on the outbound leg and tail wind for the return, made conditions ideal for negative splits and out of 241 finishers, there were some great times from Zoom members across all categories. Well done to Phil Russell, Paul Chapman, Rob Young, Aaron Moss, Andy Downton, Chris Booth, Robbie Ryan, Liam Pryer, James Lambourne, Ivan Whitehead, Andy Horsley, Gemma Taylor, Simon Wenborn, Katrina Yelbury, Martin Poucher, Stu Squires, Tom Pritchard, Sarah Barrett, Maxine Bennett, Vicky Myers, Wendy Barton, Lorraine Lambert and Tracey Ford.

 Katrina Yerbury also competed in the Ferndown Try-a-Tri the week before with several other club members and was 3^rd lady overall – awesome!

Fantastic work guys, let’s keep it going through the winter.
