Zapcats Return to Barry

Situated some 60 minutes from Bristol City centre, Barry Island was one the new venues for Zapcat Racing in 2009. Arranged late into the season the event was heralded as a great success by competitors, sponsors, spectators and local trade alike. All agreed it must come back to South Wales in 2010.

Despite budget restraints the Council has again worked tirelessly to ensure Barry plays a major role in this the 10th Anniversary year of Championship Zapcat Racing ... and dates have now been set for its return.

Centred around the popular Whitmore Bay Beach, the weekend of August 07-08 will see the 'free to view' powerboat spectacle feature up to 16 heats and divisional finals per day.

   

The UK's Zapcat National Championship is the world's largest 'one design' powerboat series.

Bath Half Strides Ahead

Around 11.000 runners pounded the streets of Bath in glorious shinshine last weekend during the City's annual half marathon.

Olympic star Amy Williams sounded the horn to start the race as crowds of spectators lined Great Pulteney Street and beyond.

The mens race was won by Ezekiel Cheruop from Kenya in 63.03, with Ethiopian born Salford Thomas taking second place. Third place belonged to 2009 winner Simon Tonui, also from Kenya.

Great Britain Olympian Dan Robinson came in fourth place in a time of 64.43.

Williams was also GB's first individual gold winner at a Winter Olympics since Bristol skater Robin Cousins beat all comers at Lake Placid, USA, in 1980.
