Dungworth on Sat 26th Sep 1998

41 startersThe women\'s Moosehead went to to Kath Goldthorpe who just eased in front of the other Penistone females (and Roger Baumeister) in the final straight. Hiro\'s Fan for 1998 was won by Andy Howie for the execution of a classic \'Edwards\' Alternative\' from the pub car park. (John Herbert later tried to emulate this manoeuvre, but he produced not so much a full blooded \'Edwards\' as a minor chasse croise at the sharp left turn in the pub car park.) The original Fan has still not been recovered and the mystery surrounding its disappearance grows murkier: until it does turn up it is replaced by a valuable autograph letter and piece of original artwork by the initiator, the legendary Hiro.

Paul Deaville is to be congratulated for his second consecutive victory (third in all), to carry away the coveted Granville Harper trophy and retain the title of Knott FR champion. Paul\'s sportsmanship shows through in the meditation given below, which recounts not the details of his sequence of fine wins but rather how he once carried off Hiro\'s Fan for a truly spectacular walk about (probably equalled only by that performed by the legendary Hiro himself).
Another grand morning\'s sport at Dungworth: misty and mellowly fruitful conditions made for a most atmospheric occasion. Many thanks to all who helped out with flagging (Squire J.B. and Lady Margaret Edwards, and Jeff Harrison), time keeping (John Manthorpe and Les Outwin), sweeping (Frank Galbraith and the eponymous Tracy who also did a stint at Sanderson\'s Bottom), spectating (Mrs Harper and Bob Toogood) and general course supervision (Peter Dyke), not to mention the farmers who painstakingly tend the race route to keep it in shape for the annual classic event.

Dungworth, Storrs & District Community Association are discussing proposals for
celebrating the Millennium. Your favourite race will, it is hoped, figure in the
programme, perhaps in special millennial format: suggestions to Stewards Committee
(Alan Yates).
