The club championship tables have now been updated after the great runs at the Marlow 5, please see the Club Championship page for results to date and dates for the rest of the championship.
Details of the club championship are now online, please see the Club Championship page for details.
There is now an age-graded category as well as Men’s/Ladies, so the older runners have a real chance. (I’m still last though!!)
For more details on how age-grading works, please see frequently asked questions on the Running for Fitness site, or feel free to ask one of the committee members.
If you have raced, and you would like your results to appear on the website, please email the webmaster (webmaster at datchetdashers.com). All Dashers’ results welcomed!
The password for private or “protected” posts is circulated to the club mailing list from time to time.
Please email the webmaster (webmaster at datchetdashers.com) if you would like it – don’t forget to include your name if it isn’t obvious from your email address!
It occurred to me that some of you might not have a clue how to use this site, so I put together a few quick guidelines on navigating, searching, etc. It also contains information on the site’s editorial policy, and how to contribute.
In the beginning Andre* created the website. And the website was without form; and difficulty-in-maintaining was upon the face of the Dashers. And the spirit of blog moved upon the face of the waters. And some bright spark in the pub one day said, ‘let there be a blog’: and there was a blog. And hopefully, someone saw the blog and it was OK but, y’know, needed improving and tidying up a lot - oh, by the way, you *did* save all the old content didn’t you (at which point your webmaster said “of course”).
The website is finally getting the makeover that I (Chris B) promised so long ago. The reasons are manifold: the current site is pretty, but difficult to maintain; updating the look-and-feel is also harder than it need be. As I am handing over the reins to Nneka, this is the ideal opportunity to port the website over to a blog format that allows multiple contributors, inline commenting, tagging, and of course an RSS feed all of its own.
Don’t be backward in coming forward; if there’s anything you’d like to say, please let us know via the “comment” link below each post [it may initially show “no comments” - click it to add a comment]
So, please change your bookmarks to use www.datchetdashers.com (the old hyphenated version will continue to redirect you here for a while), then sit back and be patient as the website grows to encompass all the functionality of the old website. It won’t be an overnight job, but I hope that it will rapidly become clear that the blog format can indeed work well for the club website.
