Carole Smith of Weyport Masters won the Masters B Ladies event at the biathle held at Greenhill today.

As promised, the rain never stopped but Carole managed to win not only her event but also beat the 2nd and 3rd placed Masters B Men in doing so.

Weyport Masters' Nick Ireland came third in the Masters A Men, consolidating his 2nd position in the GB Series. Current series leader Dave Milburn got second and a visiting German won the race.

Other local clubs had good results. Beth Whittal from Weymouth SC won Youth D girls, Oscar Tweed from Warriors in the Youth C boys won his event, Poole SC's Melissa Courtney won Youth C girls and from Tornadoes, Tom Crew got the gold and Niall Laming the silver in Youth B boys.

The correct document is now available under Portland Harbour Swim -> 2007 -> Canoeist / Boat Owner Form.

Our own Kate Mason, Julia Aston and Linda Ashmore plus West Dorset Warrior's Susan Warden took part in this year's BLDSA Champion of Champions competition at Dover Harbour on Saturday. It comprised of three races of decreasing distances (5 miles, 3 miles and 1 mile) and the final placings were determined by the sum of the times taken to complete the courses.

I'll post the results and photos here when they are available.

I've just noticed that the Canoe/Boat form on the website is actually the same as the swim entry form.

I checked the source files I was provided and it's the same there too. I'll post the correct file once I get hold of a copy.

I've added a menu item for the Portland Harbour Swim.

All the necessary paperwork can be obtained from Portland Harbour Swim -> 2007

I've also tweaked the menu style slightly in an attempt to make it more readable; more changes likely.

This year's Portland Harbour Swim is to be held on Friday 13th July.

It will be a two-way swim starting early evening.

More details, entry form etc. will be posted here when they are available.

The entry form for this is available by clicking the event under Events -> Open Water.

The file is PDF so you'll need Adobe Reader.

I've added some photos taken at the Exmouth swim on Sunday.

It's available via Photos -> Exmouth 2007 and should open in a new window.

There's lots of wizzy buttons - you can view it as a slideshow etc.

Seven of the Club took part in this year's Exmouth Fairway Buoy Swim.

There was a bumper entry of 37 this year, with 35 swimming on the day (22 male and 13 female). The race was won outright by a young lady (Caroline Ball, 18) from Kelly College with another lady (Nancy Douglas, 27) chasing her home. 33 finished the course and the first male to the finish was third placed overall Robert Cook, another 18 year old from the Gloucester area.

The Weyport Masters results were as follows ...


Wayne missed getting in under two hours by just 44 seconds!

I'll post a gallery of photos taken by the our land support team (Liz) on the site tomorrow.

This year's swim is on Sunday 12th August. Categories are full (4.6 miles) or half (2.6 miles) swims in either wetsuit or traditional attire.

I'll post the entry form on the site when I get a copy.
