Ah the EBRC BBQ

With the BBQ supplied By BK and the food was being devoured at an alarming rate

Music was supplied by Fin and a cameo appearance by Meg

when all sausages and burgers have been consumed, the chocolate and crisps despatched Snowy hatched a plan

lets see how flexible we are and pick up a piece of card with your mouth from the floor!
this was met with fear and utter confusion from Connor

and it is this that bought us on to the events conclusion.
Georgia, Flic, Jen and Snowy were the only ones elastic enough to take on the challenge

 with Georgia taking top honours with a 50p pickup, while the others settled with the card

there was much celebration during the event once the jeans came off

and nigel realised his full potential

Another Year, Another set of Beach Events.

A Year on and the Devon's have once again come around! Tuesday the 28th saw the beach events being contested at Croyde!
The first event of the day was the 1k beach run, normally a 2k run but the guys I'm sure were content with the shorter distance.
In the 15 year old boys event we claimed the first of our medal hall with Kierron Dinsdale and his silver medal effort.

The Event then proceeded with Connor Ward who claimed another Silver medal with a 200m sprint to bump himself up from fifth and Fin Cawthera in the 16-17 year age groups

 Here are the three boys looking exceptionally dapper post event.

the next Medal haul was Courtesy of Tom Merson

 and Maff Richardson who claimed the Gold and Silver in the Event.
Next up were the girls who knew that the event wasnt necessarily their fortay but turned out immaculate performances.

The event to follow this was the Sprint

two dominating performances in the heat and Final saw another medal and gold for Kierron Dinsdale

 a great dip for Connor to claim another medal and a strong performance by Fin ensured his medal fetish was quenched .

In the girls event Emily Kelly, Megan Edlin and Georgia Slatter ran well in the hotly contested 16-17 years age group with more to add to our medal tally.

 the 18-19 year olds and open females was dominated with two Golds with a one two from Sophie Waddell and Sarah Beresford

The Mixed Sprint relay team consisting of Maff Richardson, Emily Kelly, Sophie Waddell and Fin Cawthera claimed Gold while Connor Ward, Georgia Slatter,Megan Edlin and Kierron Dinsdale were unfortunate just to be squeezed out to a fourth place finish

Next up was the crowd favourite and the most competitive of all the events the Beach Flags, set up on an upslope through soft sand the boys all just barely missed out on the medals but were responsible for some of the finest photos of the day.

 Except Maff Richardson who due to Tom Merson's swift pop up and even swifter stumble allowed him to cruise to victory and a gold medal with a smile.

The Girls like Maff also had some good performances while others were surprised that they weren't eliminated in the first round.
Hannah Carder and Megan Edlin were very pleased with their results

 Emily Kelly strode out to medal with a show of great strength and physical prowess that was tucked away somewhere within that petite frame of hers.

The medalling queen on the day miss Sophie Waddell added to her tally with Gold in the girls 18-19 beach final
