It was disappointing that so few members took part at this new venue, it had first class facilities and helpful
staff at the sports centre.
The course had variety, flat for part of each lap with an uphill and downhill section and plenty of mud. This is
a course I know well having run it on a number of occasions including my first cross country race when I was 17.
The race winner was Mark Aspinall, who ran in two races on the previous day, coming 4th in the Red Rose 
Cross - Country League on the same course at Moss Bank Park after finishing 2nd in the Garstang 10K earlier in the day.  
Further down the field there was some good competition, and in the 5K it was good to see Bernard Lister turning
out again.
A vote of thanks to Ken Fowler, Ken Mayor and Alan Fielding for organising the event, and also to everyone who helped.
