I’ve
lifted these posts from today’s Facebook Memories, some from my own page and others
from the pages we created to publicise the Run.
Sometimes the weather got in the way…

The
Woodlawn Xmas Pudding Fun Run 2011 - probably the twentyfifth run (we lost
count) - on Whitley Bay sea front - Boxing Day - over 700 runners ranging from
the highly competitive and competent to fancy dress fun runners, aged from
primary school to at least one septuagenerian.
A lovely morning of fun racing and fundraising.
Ernextdoor Opps sorry
forgot Ben x hope it was a good turn out x x
Bentonbag No worries -
over 700 people which is wonderful after we were all so anxious after last
year's cancellation and postponing the year before
Ernextdoor Let’s hope
you raised lots and lots of money for the cause
x x x
811
runners in Woodlawn's Boxing Day Xmas Pudding Fun Run - almost a record number.
Well
done and thank you to North Shields Poly Runners for all your hard work on the
logistical, marshalling and registrations side.
Thank
you to Tom Wilson of NTyneside council events department for the PA system and
bringing the minibus full of puddings, tables etc. from school.
Thanks
to Alan Campbell MP for starting it and staying around right to the bitter end
to see the last runners come home.
And
most of all thanks to all the runners - I take my hat off to you ...
Happy
New Year and see you next year (if
we're spared)
Mr
Gobiron We drove past some of the runners and wondered what the event was. Had meant to check on tha intarwebs but in the
FB age, the information seeks /you/ out.
Bentonbag For the past
few years one of my best Christmas moments has been driving to Whitley Bay on
Boxing Day and spotting runners warming up because, however much work we've put
into publicity etc there's always that little worrying niggle that nobody will
turn up. So to come up over the Panama
Dip and see the Spanish City with hundreds of runners gathered always makes me
grin with glee as I think to myself "I helped make this happen!" Always lifts my mood.

A RECORD!
Thank you
so much to everybody who turned out to run, everybody who helped set up the
Run, did the planning, worked on the registrations, handed out bags, helped
publicise the Run with Facebook shares and Twitter re-tweets, I'm naming no
names because I'm sure to leave someone out.
It wouldn't have happened without
you.
Thank you all for making my Christmas

Thank you
to everyone who made today's Run a recordbreaker.
We had over a thousand runners, last year it
was 883.
We only had a thousand pudding and certificate Start Fitness bags
prepared so apologies to anybody who missed out.
We just never expected to see so many
wonderful people.
When we have the final
entry numbers (and proceeds!) I'll post them here.
update at
16.36
Mrs
Treasurer has counted all the entries 1066.
21% up on
last year.
Phenomenal!
