| What runners think of the Bells Run... |

From : Simon
Calrow
Dear All,
Thanks for another great day and a superbly organised run. You
always seem to get a good weather. Will have to get some serious
training in to beat Ross Jones next year. When do you expect
to put the results on the internet?
Regards
Simon Calrow

Hi there,
I took part in your event on Sunday and very enjoyable it was.
I wondered if it was still possible to obtain a race t shirt.
Many thanks
Derren race number 456
From : Roy Lindsell
Dear Pattingham Bells runners
Would the organisers
consider giving 5 year age groups in the results.
As a 67 year old I would like to see how I compared with others
in the 65-69 grouping.
No doubt 70-74 year olds would also like to know how they did
as well.
As things stand, once you are over 60 you are on a downhill slope
to oblivion.
We are not
looking for prizes but we are still competitive in nature and
need something to aim for.
Please consider showing the 5 year age groups of all those over
35.
The "parkrun" organisation does this, to good effect.
Thanks for
an otherwise great event!

Thank
you to all those who helped with this year's race...
Once
again, thanks to all those who helped with the event. Around
150 people assist in marshalling the race and village traffic,
manning the Help Desk and taking 'on-the-day' registrations.
Thanks also go the Pattingham Bell Ringers and the band of ladies
who prepare and serve the hundreds of pieces of harvest cake
with a hot cup of tea. Thanks also to the farmers for their cooperation
on the actual course.
Publicity...
Thanks also go to all the publications and radio stations that
took up our Press Releases and published details of this year's
run. We would particularly like to mention Wolverhampton Chronicle,
Staffordshire Journal, The Villager, Express & Star and Pattingham
Parish magazine.
Raynet (communications), the Red Cross and the Community Paramedics
were again on duty and we thank them for their attendance which
ensures the welfare of all runners taking part in the run.
As previous years, donations will be made to various local charities
including the Air Ambulance plus the Village School, the Village
Playing Fields Association, Raynet and the Air Cadets, who provide
our car parking attendants. Remaining proceeds from the Bells
Run are given to St. Chad's Church, Pattingham. |

Next year's
Bells Run takes place on Sunday 14th October 2012
The 23rd Bells of Pattingham Run will take place on Sunday
14th October 2012, starting at 11.00 am from the Village Hall
Playingfields.
The first run
back in 1990, was organised to raise money to replace the old
wooden bell frame in the belfry of St. Chad's church in Pattingham.
Because of its popularity, the run has continued over the years
and now is a respected event in the running world with a limit
of 1000 entries.
 All
proceeds from the race are now used for local charities, such
as the County Air Ambulance, Air Training Corps, Playing Fields
Committee, St Chad's School and also to help St. Chad's Church
funds. All runners finishing receive a 'Bells Run' brass and
the first runner from the Parish of Pattingham with Patshull
will be presented with a cup to be held for one year.
The design
for the Bells Run brass is changed each year and they have become
collector's pieces. The picture shows a typical design for the
2011 race.
The run starts and finishes in Pattingham in South Staffordshire
over a 7 mile off-road, multi-terrain course, under UKA rules.
Costs to enter by pre-booking, or entering on the day, will be
posted on this website in the future.
