Indeed last year was a good event and hope to see you on this years run. A hurdle was considered at the Barry Off Licence this year - bit like in the steeplechase but the hurdle would have been some form of short and a barsnack!


Instead of water sponges, beer sponges are required for the event although once running commences and the thought of another pint and a short at the clockhouse becomes a reality the last thing I needed last year was another "iso" tonic drink on the run!

Good Morning Sports Fans,


This mornings note is just a gentle reminder that next Saturday 13th June sees the 2nd Barry Barry Road Race back in action for another year. Hopefully your training has gone according to plan and we are now all able to down pints and run for 0.8 miles without breaking a sweat or being sick. Lovely Jubbly.


For those who are planning on attending could you please repl or pp me back and let me know if you are running or supporting (also known as professionally drinking). It'd be good to get an idea of numbers and of course we need volunteers for support staff (people who get the 2nd lot of drinks in).


The die hard competitors amongst us will be meeting at the Plough at 12pm for a thorough warm up (at least 2 pints) with the starters gun planned to go off at 1pm.


Hope to see you on the starting line


Bary Barry Bob

Surf Bob


Been putting the miles in and pounding the roads. Slight peevers elbow was encountered on last saturday training run but will defo be in plough fir noon to undertake some warm up drills.


Plan on keeping my poweder dry for the first half mile then finish with a flourish.


Another Barry day beckons.


Cheers and CHARGE......................

EK famous for 2 things.


1. Making the jump and sticking the landing. 2. Making the jump and failing to stick the landing. As you well know SurfBob, my failure to stick the landing looks like winning this bout. Unlikely to run but will be there for the full session. May enter the HMB class and walk it slowly.


Too many bones.

Final training runs completed, bulking up on bar snacks now.


Can debate the shot in pint approach during the pre race warm ups.


Nice to see the council have been out and trimmed back the trees on the route for the Run.


Last years champion runner will be back to defend the Barry Bear, wonder if station master Barry is about saturday so Barry can present the Barry Bear to the Barry Barry Run champion athlete for 2009. Now, that would be Barry.


Good luck and all the best in sport. Its been a punishing schedule but I'm confident to beat my PB of last year. Throughout my build up the words of my mentor kept popping into my head:


"life is like an ashtray, full of little doubts"


Lasers set tae malky!..........

So I could present to myself you mean!!


Joking aside, I would love to attend this event, maybe good to meet a few people and have a beer!..... as an added bonus to the winner there will be a pair of tickets to anywhere on the south coast (southern route)courtesy of Southern Railway

Well there's no point in me turning up this year! I cam second last year and he's got no slower, and I've got no quicker...


Besides, I'm doing 20 miles the next day on the North Downs, so not up for big beers if I do turn up!


Though I do have a cunning plan in mind....

My gut tells me "marjorie" isn't really a concerned mother - but let's say that she is


Are you for real? 15 unhealthy people running .8 of a mile and you (who probably hates the government and the nanny state and health n safety) want to call the police? And report what exactly?


feck it I've changed my mind - ring them but please, can I listen??

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
