The manxathletics.com forum

Welcome to the manxathletics.com forum.  Please share information and your views on the sport in the Isle of Man with others. 

The forum has been operating in its present form since April 2004 and I particularly welcome comments from new contributors, whether you live on or off the Isle of Man, if you have an interest in Manx athletics.

Many people have used the forum to give thanks to the officials or their own supporters when they have enjoyed an event. Contrustive criticism is always welcome as an additional means of communication, although it is not intended to replace formal communication between clubs and other bodies and their members.

If you are unable to find information about an event on any of the Manx websites, then the forum is the best place to ask for help from other people. Whilst you can email me at murray@manxathletics.com  and I will do my best to point you in the right direction, the people who have the answer to your question are likely to visit the forum so it is better that you ask it here. manxathletics.com is an independent site and I do not hold office within any of the five Manx clubs.

There are a few rules. Firstly, you should always use your real name as, apart from making people accountable for what they say, one of the objectives of the website is to make the sport friendly and appealing so please do not hide behind a nickname (anonymous entries will be deleted). Secondly, (it should go without saying) you must not insult or offend anyone. Thirdly, pesistent abuse of rules 1 and 2 will result in the forum being withdrawn.

Thanks for being sensible and I hope you continue to enjoy the forum and the sport.

Murray Lambden

Message:   Glad that Dave responded with his post and it's good to see his name on the forum.

Actually I emailed him earlier in the day to inform him of the matter of Angela's achievements. I put my head on the line and guessed 11.9 and 24.5. Dave said that was as accurate as he could manage. I don't know what time she ever did a 400m in. I think she did about 25 for the 200m in Brisbane. I know she was disappointed with that run.

She certainly was highly rated in the early 1980's and was the Army womans sprint champion.

She presumably held the Manx record for several years before Dana Callow (nee Myhill) broke those times. Dana of course got down to about 11.6 in the late 1980's. She ran in Edinburgh at the CG I believe in the 100m. I think she went on to represent GB in that event for a year or two - certainly ran the odd B International race or two.

Unfortunately I only ever saw Dana and Angela run about twice. A great shame that, as they were 2 outstanding Manx female sprinters.
