Three Waddies braved the M25 to make the journey to Hampton Court for the Wedding Day 7K on Friday night. This really is a great night out - with music, food and drink in the delightful grounds of Bushy Park. Great for picnics amongst the deer too. Well, at least that is under normal circumstances - true to form the 2007 Summer weather arrived at the finish to drown out what could have been a very pleasant post-race evening.

Some top runners bowled up for this one and the Ladies race was won by former Olympic Medalist and World Champion Sonia O'Sullivan whose evening was completely ruined by people asking her if that was Ron Hill 'over there'! Martin and Cathy completed a romantic evening by winning the raffle - a three tiered wedding cake! This has now been offered to the parents of Tony Blair, if they ever get married, as a parting gift on behalf of Wadhurst Runners. Barry Gilbert made up the trio, making his way over from Reading for the event.
