Is it a dance? The “Bergin wiggle” has now entered our vernacular!

October 16, 2011

Muhammad Ali gave us the “Ali Shuffle”. Dick Fosbury gave us the “Fosbury Flop”. Sphinx AC cornerstone Paul Bergin has now unleashed the “Bergin wiggle”! A number of us Sphinx AC runners were out yesterday plotting the route of the 2011 Sphinx AC Coombe 8. We’re forced to introduce slight course variations from year to year as it’s a live country estate, with field boundary changes, plantations, livestock requirements etc. This year’s course is an absolute belter, made all the more interesting by a “Bergin wiggle” or two – unexpected twists and turns that will delight and surprise the runners!

Apart from Ashley Miles, who comfortably wins this week’s ParkRun, men of Sphinx should hang up their shoes as the ladies are ON FIRE at the moment. For the fourth consecutive week, Sphinx junior Catherine Gough achieves ANOTHER PB, knocking a full 30 seconds off last week’s time. Catherine’s mum, Susan Gough, shaves 12 seconds off her PB (also set last week) and Maggie Morgan finally gets under the elusive 30-minute milestone with the third PB of the morning.

The EGM next Wednesday is to discuss the annual membership fees paid to Cov & North Warwick from April next year. Following meetings with members of their committee we will be discussing and voting on the increase in fees proposed by the club and the impact this will have on our members. Sphinx AC may be significantly affected by the result of the vote, so it is strongly recommended that all members attend this meeting to ensure a true majority verdict is cast.
