Congratulations and much merriment were in the air as the club’s Phil Taylor married the lovely Victoria Smith on 5th March 2010. Just like in most races, an excellent number of Deestriders turned out to support at the evening do and a great night was had by all. Even if some of us did go to the wrong building initially. It was the sat nav’s fault and we still have no idea what was going on in there!! ...More

Phil, who recently starred in local play Sinbad the Sailor in the singing role of Kasim the guard, treated everyone to a fine rendition of Hey Jude and both bride and groom were on top form all evening. The Deestriders turned the event into an impromptu cross-training session, dancing the night away and twisting right through I Saw Her Standing There, with the bar and plenty of cake nearby to provide much needed energy.

Phil is a much-loved member of the club whose hard work and determination over the years have turned him into a really good runner and it was wonderful to see him and his beautiful new wife looking so happy. Phil and Vic, thanks a million for sharing your special day with us and we wish you all the best for a great honeymoon and a fantastic married life together.
