Club members had the opportunity to take part in 2km and 4km team fun run events.

There were no handicaps ,but everyone who ran was part of one of three teams - red, blue or green.

This year’s fun run had team members complete the course with a mad pea count and a spirited egg and spoon finish.

An entertaining presentation followed where all cross-country runners received certificates for their involvement and participation.

Congratulations go to all divisional winners in the Nowra Toyota Pointscore Competition, and to the fastest male and female runners in each division.

A full rundown of points and placings is available on the club website and the results section of the paper.

Of course every person who spent some time at cross-country this year was a winner.

And as everyone knows, getting a win quite often requires a lot of hard work from the individual as well as a lot of other people.

In that vein, a big thank you goes to all officials and volunteers who assisted the club throughout the 2008 cross-country season.

Once again Rod and Jan Gibb deserve special mention for their tireless efforts for the club and for making their family property such a wonderful place to experience cross-country running.
