GB v US Combined Events
Challenge- Bruce Charles.
This took place in a hot Neosho, Missouri on the 5th and 6th
July 2014.
As usual the hospitality of our US hosts and the
entertainment was outstanding with old friendships being
renewed and new ones made.
Unfortunately the GB team this year was depleted by serious
illness and injury but nevertheless we went down to the US
by only a little over 200 points. The team was further reduced
23
when John Charlton was injured in the 100 metres and was
subsequently only able to do the throws (and a little
jumping! ).
Lawrie Dunn produced the best GB performance with a
point’s total of 5337 in M 65 for 3rd place. Brian Harlick in
M70 was also unlucky to suffer a fall in the hurdles on day 2
which greatly hampered his subsequent performances but
still managed to score 2482 points.
Our two lady Decathletes had a great time set against male
competition with Jess Collins scoring 3417 points and Ruth
Bird 3614.
The best performance of the competition went to Brian
Cushey in M50 with a new American record of 7467 points.
In the Heptathlon Pat Oakes (W65) scored 2982 points to
outscore her US rival Mary Trotto.
The US athletes who were here in 2012 were full of praise
for the competition and hospitality we provided and were
strongly encouraging fellow US athletes to come over for the
next Challenge which is in 2016 and planning for that event
has already commenced.

EAMA INTER AREA
CHALLENGE
SOLIHULL
20TH JULY
Words: Brian Owen.
Pictures: Tom
Phillips.
Well I thought the “Friendly Games” started on the
23rd of July, however, the spirit in this year’s Inter
Area Challenge scored very highly on the index of
enjoyment if such a factor exists for Athletic
meetings.
Everything about the Meeting scored “A” plus factors. With
good, warm and dry conditions. A track and its facilities in
reasonable condition. The competitive nature of the events,
plus the good natured Athletes and Officials, so let me tell
you what happened.
