Trekking the Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru

Picture
August 2019 - photo of Eileen Wade taken on a 14 day 225km trek of the Cordillera Huayhuash Circuit - described as a challenging climb (up to over 5,000m) - camping around the lakes and mountains.  Good to see the RNSC Masters hat on tour ....!

In memory of our dear friend Meredith .....

Picture
Meredith died on 12 July 2019 aged 52 from a choriocarcinoma, a rare type of cancer.  She leaves behind a husband and two teenage children.  It was only six years ago that Meredith ran the London Marathon (see charity pages under News).

At the celebration of life service on Sunday 4 August, we all learnt a lot about this amazing lady and the very full life she had led.  It was a very moving experience.  

As a lasting tribute Ann & Tony paid to have a star dedicated in Meredith's name and kindly presented it to the family on behalf of the Club.  It is in a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere and the name translates as "southern fish".  So fitting for Meredith as she always said that one day she wanted to return home to Australia.

Meredith's chosen charity is the Cancer Treatment and Research Trust (CTRT) and should you wish, you can make a donation via Just Giving or   
bank transfer using Meredith Mistry as the reference.  Penny's email of 7 August contains the relevant details.

London 2012 - Meeting Missy Franklin of the USA Swim Team

Photo of Grace and Molly with Missy Franklin at Heathrow Airport


Elizabeth Harland of Lane 5 writes:  We thought the Olympics were awesome!  I have attached a photo that I thought might be good for the website. We bumped (almost literally!) into Missy Franklin at Heathrow Airport the day after the closing ceremony.  She was most obliging when my daughters Grace & Molly wanted a photo with her!


London 2012 - Olympic Golden Moment

Picture
Karen Butterworth meets Olympic gold medalist Giovanni Cernogoraz
RNSC's Karen Butterworth had a Golden Olympic moment she'd like to share with the club, the Lane 3 rep continues:
 
Over the past month I have been volunteering as a games maker at the
Heathrow Terminal 1. During one of my shifts I was lucky enough to meet Giovanni
Cernogoraz, the gold medal winner of the men's trap shooting who was returning
home to Croatia.

The whole games maker experience has been amazing. The team that I worked
with at the airport were a great bunch of people. We met a variety of athletes,
officials and IOC members who had travelled to London from all over the world.
One group of six athletes had travelled from the Cook Islands to get to the
games. It had taken them 24 hours to get to Heathrow. They had to connect in
Auckland, New Zealand and Hong Kong before arriving in London. Finally they had
to endure a long coach ride across the capital to get to the Olympic village in
Stratford.
 
  It was a fantastic opportunity to be part of the London 2012 Olympics,  something that I will remember for many years
!

London 2012 - Olympic Torch Relay

Picture
Photo of Anna and her mum Jane Shekhdar

Jane writes: Anna was the medic for the Torch for two weeks.  Yes, the torch needs a medic: well actually because about 350 people travel with the Torch it needs two medics!

The picture was taken at Duxford aerodrome on the 7th of July; I went to meet Anna there during her lunch break. I was allowed on the "officials" side and to hold an unlit torch. What a treat! This photo was taken in front of the official bus during the few minutes when it wasn't raining......
