There was an excellent turn out for the Wells Fun Runs this past weekend (Sunday 29th May). The races, organised by a local committee mainly made up of Wells Harrier members, but with help on the day from various other community groups, was again masterminded by Andrew Deamer ably supported by his family. The community of Wells was out in force to compete, or to cheer on the runners in the various races – 10k; 5k; 1.2k or 500m. There were over 700 runners in all the races and each and every one showed great enthusiasm and endeavour. Some 30 or so Harriers of all ages were racing, plus almost 20 of the new Beginners Group organised by the Harriers, and another 20 or so giving their time as volunteers before, during, or after the event.

The Committee meets 5 times per year with dates set well in advance. The committee is a mixture of senior athletes; volunteer coaches; and parents of juniors.

Before the AGM we will get the chance to congratulate the Beginners Group which has been on the 'Couch to 5k programme' organised by Lynne Elstob with the help of Sharon Bowles and others.

This past weekend there was a good turn-out of Wells City Harrier members at the Somerset County Athletic Associations Championships held at Yeovil Arena. The Club was particularly well represented amongst the u11 and u13 age groups from their junior training group which happens every Monday at Millfield track. The harrier members combined with our Yeovil Olympiad partners as part of the composite Yeovil & Wells team. Meanwhile there were a group of the Club's more senior and veteran runners out at the latest of the Somerset Race Series on a hilly course over near Chard on the Sunday.
