After the event Chris and Roger Lingham sadly informed me that they will not be able to
support us anymore. This was disappointing news but it has to be said that they have more
than earned their retirement, having given fantastic service for the last ten years.
Next year’s event is set for 15th July 2012. We hope to see everyone back again plus some
new faces and the return of some of the club’s stalwarts.

After ten years of sterling service Chris and Roger Lingham have decided that they need a
rest from their hard work supporting the Garden of England.
Their work has been synonymous with the success of the event over the last decade.
Without question the paddock set-up and refreshment marquee have been largely responsible
for its popularity and an integral part of proceedings. Chris even made time to go out and take
excellent pictures of competitors en route.
We got involved in the organisation of the event at the same time and they have been a
tower of strength in making sure everything runs smoothly. Also we’ve become firm friends
and I almost feel part of their lovely family.
Chris, Roger, your family and friends, thanks so much for all you’ve done over the last ten
years. I hope you’ll find time to enter next year and continue your association with the Garden
of England Run.
