                 Physics Relay Committee Message
                 -------------------------------

 The first Physics relay this century was greeted with pleasantly warm
weather, but the course was still fairly soft in places, as attested
to by the state the second leg runners returned in.

 Team numbers were back up after last year, with real competition for
all four prizes. Once again however certain runners had not taken the
precaution of finding out what the route was in advance and therefore
added a few extra yards to their run as a result, but at least no-one
had to have a 15 second penalty for cutting corners like last year.

 It was a good year for the Geography Dept., who took the mixed and
ladies prizes. The on the day entry from Engineering won the open
prize, with the `Age/Gender' corrected prize going to the mathemeticians,
who may have cracked how to beat the formula -  although they were only 2
seconds ahead of the physics technicians team `SPACtech'.

 Thanks to everyone for coming to support this Lancaster tradition. Next
 year is the 25th! Maybe my knee will have recovered enough by then
for me to run again. Thanks as usual to all the helpers on the
 day for keeping the traffic at bay: Gareth H, Gareth E, Barbara, Tim
and Rob. Also the volunteer flag collectors Mike and Graham.
