Lostock AC held their annual Treasure hunt this week. This is always a fun event, with members racing around West Houghton and Aspull trying to find the answer to clues prepared by Member Mark Smith.
Members covered distances of over 5 miles and many got lost, including one team that spent time wondering around a field. There is a mad dash to the finish as for every minute runners are late, 10 points are deducted from their score. This was the unravelling of some teams whose desire to find the answer to more clues resulted in them being almost 10 minutes late!
The victorious team was Ian Johnson, Janet Rhodes, Sally McCoy and Heather Soden. In second place was Ian and Lee Burns and in third place was Josie Greenhalgh and Tony Marlow. Lostock AC would like Janet and Ian Johnson for hosting the event.
