Our Own Race at Kouklia
At our bi-monthly meeting at DTs we formed a committee to review the logistics of staging
our own race in Kouklia and prepare an estimate of the likely cost. After a series of meetings
the committee met up with Debbie to update her on progress to date and to get her
agreement to meet up with Stavros (who is a race organiser in Cyprus) and decide on the
next steps. There will be an update at the next meeting at DTs in April.
The Manor House at Kouklia.
Club Membership
There are no new members to the club, but we have had a number of holiday runners

Bi-monthly meeting
Our next bi-monthly meeting will be at D’T’s Restaurant on Monday 13th April.

Handicap
The Club Handicap is a series of 5 races, run twice, over 10 months giving 10 races in total.
Participants are awarded points depending on their individual performance. Then each
participant’s best 6 results are counted towards their final position in the League Table. If
you don’t want to compete in every event, you don’t have to, although by doing so, gives
you the maximum chance to win. The races are:



Name your own time
Pace control
Guess the distance


Beat the clock
Staggered start
We have now just started the 2015 Handicap series. The race positions are as shown in the
table below.
*Both Ian & Anthi were deducted 20 points for not wearing a club vest. Debbie also started
but due to injury had to stop at the exit of the car park……shame!!!!!
All members and especially visitors are most welcome to join in these races. The races start
from the Corallia Beach Hotel at Coral Bay @ 08.00am the first Saturday of every month.
The next handicap race will be Saturday April 4th at the Corallia Beach Hotel. It will be
“Distance out of the Hat” (5, 6 or 7k ) starting punctually at 8.00am. Please be sure you are
at the Corallia Beach Hotel by 7.45am.
One lucky member will draw the distance out of a hat!!!!
The Handicapper will provide you with the times you have to beat.
This will be the Third Handicap race of the year. Good luck to all members.
