Manx Masters make their marks! 

The Spring 2008 edition of 'Masters Athletics' has the Masters Road Walk Rankings 2007 and Manx veterans figure very well in the published listings, including several of our club members. I've extracted the details for the local walkers that caught my eye below. Very well done to all.

Sorry if I've missed anyone &/or made any mistakes, please let me know! Regards, Adrian Cowin.

I can tell you that Brenda Charlton is as pleased as Punch! She says 'just by carrying on walking gives me so much pleasure, that it really tickles me to also make it into the rankings, and I'm so happy to see the likes of Sarah (Goldsmith), Enid (Watson) and others well up in the lists as well, & it's nice to see Hilary Musson ranked too'.

Brenda Charlton & Sarah Goldsmith; very happy to walk into the limelight!
Ladies in Red: -
 
Enid Watson & Marie Jackson both made their impact in 2007.
Also in 2007, as in 2005 & 2006, Andrew Titley exclaimed '...and I will walk 100 miles!', but unlike The Proclaimers with their '...500 miles', Andy actually got  to number one in the charts!!
(L to R) Lisa Motley, Andy Green & Chris Cale made hits in the rankings.
