Several ladies will also be receiving medals in their individual age groups: Isabel Mordue (senior women, 3rd equal); Jess Young (vet 35 women, 1st); Helen Burrell (vet 60 women, 1st); Helen Nicholson (vet 60 women, 2nd); Martha McBarron (vet 65 women, 1st ).

Well done to Tim Grimwood who won his age category and came 5th overall and to Martha McBarron who picked up an age category prize.
