24th June 2010 4th Peasmarsh Midsummer-ish Hash-ish

Thanks to those that joined us for the 4th Midsummer-ish Hash-ish from the Royal Oak, in Rye Foreign last night.

The event is purely social and the entry fees covered the small amount of race expenses - primarily prizes - the barbecue and the live music. I think everybody enjoyed the evening and we’ll repeat it next year.

Congratulations to our race winners, Jeff Pyrah and Lynn Hayes (again!). Jeff broke the course record which has stood for three year. Well done too to those who collected a category prize. Wadhurst Runners managed to pinch the team prize from Hastings Runners, which sent at least one old man home happy.

The results are below.
