This week’s Parish Notices were presented by Mark Lawes.

Introduction

Thank you to Julia Bawden for producing the June Club Standards report.

Rob has now updated the Results Hub on the club website with Julia’s latest Club Standards tables, the June Club League table, and other results and achievements from throughout the month.

There’s also a new leader at the top of the Club League… but who is it? Head over to the Results Hub to find out.

Ian Linton

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Ian Linton passed away peacefully at home in the early hours of Sunday 28th June.

Ian was a valued member of Tiptree Road Runners for many years. His dedication to the club was recognised through a number of awards, including Club Person of the Year in 2006, the Chairman’s Male Road Runner Award in 2010, and a Lifetime Award for his dedication to Tiptree Road Runners in 2013.

Our thoughts are with Ian’s family and friends at this difficult time.
