Any Other Business Tad Lancucki advised members of the death of Barbara Szlachetka. BASIA SZLACHETKA, one of our overseas members, died at the age of 49 on 24 th November at home in Hamburg after a year and a half fighting cancer. She was looked after devotedly by Christian Hottas throughout her illness. In the autumn of 1997 whilst working as a cleaner in Germany to provide for her family in Poland she saw a marathon on the TV. Without any training she ran a half marathon, then on 15.11.1997 her first Marathon. Her first Ultra she ran just four weeks later. She completed her 100 in less than two years. Her achievements in her short running career were remarkable. She specialised in track and road races from 12 to 72 hours in which she held Polish national records as well as 48 hour European and World age group records. She represented her country at 24-hours. She won bronze medals at two 48-hour World championships and was third lady in the 2003 Spartathlon. In July 2004, few days before a 48-hour race in Cologne, she went with acute stomach pain to hospital. An advanced cancer was diagnosed. Despite approximately 50 chemotherapy sessions and other treatments she still ran upto July 2005 24 Marathons and three Ultras "just for fun”. Altogether she ran 279 marathons and 57 ultras, 336 in total. She was always full of fun, always ready for a good time out with her friends. She ran several races in the UK and Ireland. She was first woman in the 100 Club’s Greenwich Foot Tunnel Centenary Marathon in 2002. She will be missed. AGM2006 – The subject was raised about encompassing the 2006 AGM with a Handicap Marathon at the site of the Fairlands Valley Challenge in Stevenage. Suggested date of Sunday, 17 th December. The idea was well received, so Roger will take this forward to see if possible. Marathon/Ultra vetting – Roger stated that the vetting had generally been well received. While some members had the odd event removed, they understood why. It was not the intention of the 100 Marathon Club to remove any individuality, but merely to have a level playing field when showing figures. Roger also asked that he be updated on a regular basis. While he attempts to extract results from the internet etc, the responsibility has to be on the member to report his/her race activity. Paul Watts – A debate was led by Syd Wheeler concerning our blind member, Paul Watts. In simple terms Paul needs guides to get him round marathons, and there is a shortage of volunteers. There seemed no shortage of volunteers from the members present at the meeting. It was agreed that Paul would discuss this with Roger to try and come up with a list of marathons that Paul would like to do. This could then be issued out to members for volunteers. Mablethorpe Marathon: Roger mentioned about this new marathon scheduled for Sep.10 next year. At present this race does not hold a permit, but an email received subsequent to the AGM has stated an intention to get one. To get a permit, then the course must be measured. Watch this space on this one! John Wallace 50 th Birthday Marathon – John (aka Superman), has stated the intention to organise a marathon in 2007, with a suggested date of the end of May. This will be held as a sanctioned 100 Marathon Club Marathon. Mike Newbitt and his 60 th birthday – Mike Newbitt (aka Badger), is scheduled to complete his 500 th marathon on his 60 th Birthday at the Night of Flanders Marathon in Belgium. (Jun.16). For those that want a double, this will be combined with a very scenic marathon along the Rhein in Germany. Marathon Certificate – Roger asked if there would be an interest in receiving a certificate showing their 100 marathons (or 2nd/3rd etc 100). This was well received. This will be taken forward at the next committee meeting 2005 Challenge Competition – In basic terms, a new perpetual trophy would go to the member who completed the most road marathons in the UK and Ireland during 2005. The winner gets to keep the Shield for one year, and also receives a small trophy to keep, as did the runners-up. Including one Saturday/Sunday double it was possible to complete 24 qualifying marathons. The winner managed 20! 1 st – Colin Longworth (20) 2 nd – Brent Iddles (18) 3 rd = - John Dawson (14) 3 rd = - Steve Edwards (14) 5 th = - Martin Bush (13) 5 th = - Danny Kay (13) 1 st Lady – Selina Da Silva (12)
2006 Challenge Competition – There was general support that the competition should continue in its present guise in 2006. 2005 Photo Competition – Photos are now getting on the website on a regular basis, although Roger asked the gathering for more photos. On a fairly regular basis (there are not enough photos to do this every month) a ‘photo of the Month’ is chosen. The committee will select a ‘photo of the year’ from these. The winner will received a framed copy of the winning photo. Countries/ Counties Competition – There have been several attempts to get this going. It was still felt by the meeting to be worthwhile, so the committee will discuss at the next committee meeting. London Marathon 2006 – The club receives one guaranteed place for the London Marathon. It was agreed by the meeting that any member (must have been paid up as at October 21 st ), who receives a rejection from the ballot, is eligible to go into a draw for the one place. It is intended that this takes place no later than December 20 th . 50 th Isle of Wight Marathon – Roger brought to the attention of the meeting that the 50 th Isle of Wight Marathon would take place on 21 st May 2006. It is suggested that the club should try to support this event. New 100 Marathon Club Medal – Roger had suggested that we might like to consider having a new centre for the existing medal. While the centre was well received for trophies etc. it was felt that this was not suitable for the medal. As changing the centre only gives all members the opportunity to cheaply upgrade, Roger is now pursuing the possibility of an embossed centre to replace the existing centre. The idea of having pins to represent further 100’s, which could easily be stored in the medal box, was well received and will be taken forward by the committee. Foreign Trip Comments – Runners World are looking for short articles on Foreign events. Roger is happy to collate these, and sees this as an opportunity of raising the profile of the 100 Marathon Club. Please send any comments through the website.
