***

SATURDAY'S SUMPTUOUS SUPPER SOCIAL

***

We will meet at Chuck's home at 349 East 58th Street, Apt. lR. Anyone planning
to attend should call Chuck at 753-2674 to let him know, and make arrangements
with him for what food or beverages to bring. Please call in the evenings prior
to June 3rd.

BEGINNING RUNNERS CLINIC SET
On Saturdays, in conjunction with the
Saturday Fun Runs (see listing elsewhere)
a beginning runners clinic will be held.
The session, led by an experienced member
will include stretching exercises and a
group run of 1 to 2 miles. This will enable beginning runners (or others) to ask
questions of the more experienced runners
and will provide them with the same socia
setting all members have, since the beginning runners clinic will finish at the
same time as the regular Fun Run, and
then on to the food!
~illMBERSHIP

DIRECTORY IS OUT

This week the first Front Runners, NY
membership directory is being mailed to
members. The directory provides information concerning individual member's
running schedules so those who wish to do
so, may contact others for training sessions. Any member who wishes to be listed in the directory must first fill out
the membership questionnaire which can
be received by requesting one from Bob
Dubie at 242-4746.

READ A GOOD BOOK LATELY?
If so, we would like a copy of it if it deals
with the subject of running. One of the best
ways to learn what running is all about, and
to improve your times,(if you race) is to read.
With that in mind, Howard has volunteered to
set up a Front Runners Library and needs copies
of all those running books (no magazines please)
you have stashed away. On a regular basis a lis
of those books in stock will be distributed, and
if you would like to borrow one, just let Howard
know. Easy, right? Only if you give us your
unwanted books, so do call Howard at 929-3746
to arrange for delivery.

TEE SHIRTS AVAILABLE
Front Runner, NY tee shirts are now available
in red, grey, and tank top styles. All sell
for $5.00 each to members ($7.00 non-members)
and are sold at the Saturday Fun Runs and
special monthly events.

FRONT RUNNERS NY NEWSLETTER

Vol. I, No. 2

CHANGE IN SATURVAY FUN RUN TIME. In order to avoid some midday sun, the time for the
next 6 Fun Runs has been moved up to lOam. This applies to the runs on June 28 and July 5
in Central Park, July 12 and 19 on the West Side Highway, and July 26 and August 2 in Riverside Park. Set those alarm clocks, gentleperso ns!
• NEW FACES SOUGHT. Concurrent with the Saturday Fun Runs, a beginning runners' clinic is
being conducted under the guidance of an experienced Front.Runne r. Stretching exercises and
general advice are followed by a run/walk session of·.~cf: or 2 miles. Those going out on the
longer run finish at the same time and place as the··h'iginne rs, and almost everybody goes to
a local cafe to breakf~~:::'to&lt;;fether. Each of us prof)iil)ly knows someone gay who's considering
taking up running; so why no't make a special effort to enc:ourage that friend to join the
beginners' group, thereby benefiting the new runner while ~ilding up Front Runner membership?
.

·\rs.··,

SECONV SOIR{~,.• Fron~~un:ners NY,.would like to thank Chuck Nesbitt for playing host to our
second party, held saturday, \June-(\?7'~ Billed as a "Sumptuous Supper Social, II the bring-a-dis h
affair, which includ~d a brief bu~ines_s meeting, inspired some of the best recipes of the 30
or so members and friends who at~ehded. · Convivialit y was the rule of the evening, and everybody is looking forward to the next big bash~ I~eas, anyone? Call John Killacky, 355-6438.
CLUB SHIRTS F0~ 1&gt;SA.LE:·.,·-:l:~f purciiJ~I~g one or more of the three styles available (white
tanktop, red or gray T-shirt, all handsomely imprinted with the club logo), members can build
up both their summer wardrobes and the club treasury. By wearing the shirts while running,
racing, or socializing in gay settings, Front Runners can promQte and provide free advertising for the club. Bob Dubie, 242-4746, sells the shirts at $5: for members and $7 for ·others.

GAY AT THE RACES. On Saturday, July~ l2 1; F~ont Runners will take a midday train to Belmont
Park for the races and .f.'conce.J;.~ in the·"Sunset Series" by Manhattan Transfer ($2 extra). The
return trip to NYC will\be early.·i~nough so that members may plan other activities for later in
the evening. Call John ~tlacky;,~:;,355-6438, for more information .
;~· ... ::.

SAFETY FI-RST. Now that !;).utdoor activities are in full swing, Front Runners are encouraged
(while, of course, eschewi~~paranoia) to run defensively . Cyclists, skaters, skateboarde rs,
pedestrians , and other runners~ in addition to cars, present potential hazards. Particular
care should be taken to look~both ways before crossing one-way streets. Running after sunset
requires appropriate choices in both running route (for surface conditions) and clothing (for
light-reflec ting capabilitie s). Let's watch out for ourselves and for each other.
EXTRA-COURIER ACTIVITIES . From the conversatio n at post-Fun Run breakfasts and other
social gatherings, it is obvious that Front Runners have a wide variety of interests which
in the future might be shared. Possibiliti es include dancing, roller and ice skating, bowling, beach partying, picnicking, and attending movies, operas, concerts, plays, museums, and
horseraces. Suggestions are welcome and should be directed to John Killacky, 355-6438.
GAY MEVIA CALENVAR. Information relating to all kinds of gay activities is contained in
this free publication (look for it at bars and other gay business concerns), and its two-way
function provides a place for you to post announcemen ts as well. Call Fred Goldhaber,
258-8735 (very late) •
WOMEN, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

Please come to the saturday Morning Fun Runs.

�RACE RESULTS. Front Runners who want their race results posted in the Newsletter must provide all the pertinent informa-

tion by calling Michael Cooper, 966-3642. Due to the large number of races at this time, lack of Newsletter space, and
failure of the Editor to standardize information-gathering procedures, such data as size of field, number of finishers, and
finishing place and age of runners are lacking. The Editor apologizes for this oversight and in the future will ascertain
all statistics for presentation in the Race Results section.

GAY RUN 80--History was made this
past July 27 when Gay Run 80 was
held in San Francisco. It was sponsored by the Advocate and the local
chapter of Front Runners.
Our club was admirably represented
in the lOK event by Bob Dubie and
Malcolm Robinson, who placed 2nd and
lOth respectively . In fact, though he
struggled in the final third, Malcolm
finished first among runners over 39.
Bob's strong and steady pace enabled
him to take over second when two of
the four leaders dropped out.
Both had impressive times: 35:02 for
Bob and 37:07 for Malcolm.
GAY OLYMPICS--Dave Waddell, a noted
member of the 1964 Olympic team, has
announced Gay Olympics 1983 which
is tentatively set for San Ji'rancj sco.

RUNNERS NY Nl!:WSLETTEH

Vol. I No. 3

PRE-MARATHON DINNER-Marathoners and other Front Runners are welcome at a
carbohydrate loading dinner--Friday,· October 24 at 8p.m.--Villa Eda,
corner of Bank &amp; Washington Streets--R.S .. V.P. Steve Gerben, 924-3659.
HALLOWEEN PARTY-Friday, October 31, 9p~m., 335 Greenwich St·. ,. corner of
Jay St. (see enclosed map). Chuck is opening his apartment for a costume
party and·pot-lucJ dinner for all Front Runners. This party is sure to be
great and a good time is "p:uaranteed" to al:l. Those who attended the June
"pot-luck" will remember the great job of hosting done by Chuck. Volunteers are needed to help with the organizing and decorating. Also let
Chuck know what you are planning to bring so that we don't end up with 40
batches of butterscotch brownies. Call Chuck· at· 925-9309 or· Guy at 2788280 (9-midnight).
GAY MARKET 1980-We are taking space at the Ma~ket, which is being held
Saturday &amp; Sunday, Novembbr 22 &amp; 23, from noort to Bp.m--we need help in
the following areas: donations of $1.00 or more, help in setting up the
display Friday night or Saturday morning, people to- man· the booth (specify
hours available), designing the booth and a larger logo and someone to
take pictures of the fun runs or members participating in a race. If you
can help call Guy Zelenak at 278-8280 (9-midnight).
GENERAL MEETING-This is to give you.advance notice of a general meeting
and election to be held approximately in mid-November. The date, time and
place will be announced as soon after the officer and committee meeting,
on October 29, as is possible.
NEW FACES SOUGHT-Concurrent with the Saturday Fun Runs, a beginning runners clinic is being offered under the guidance of an experienced Front
Runner. Stretching exercises and general advice are followed by a run/walk
session of 1 or 2 miles. Those going out on the longer run finish at the
same time and place as the beginners, and almost everyone goes to breakfast together. Each of us probably knows someone gay who is considering
taking up running, so why not make a special effort to encourage that
friend to join the beginner's group, thereby benefitting.the new runner
.
while increasing our membership.
PAWLING WEEKEND-Thanks to Bob Dubie's Eagle Scout leadership, a number of
members enjoyed an athletic decompression weekend in Pawling, NY at the
YMCA's Holiday Hills. New York's cosmopolitan Front Hunners took advantage of the countryside with a fun run on Saturday and an 8.2 mile ~ace
on Sunday. Racers completed the course in a cold rain with Bob Dubie placing a very impressive fourth. Hopefully more members will make the trip
in 1981.
SAN FRANCISCO VISITORS-Bob Plantz and George Fischer, president and vicepresident of S.F. Front Runners, were our guests over the Labor Day weekend. On Saturday they ran with the group and shared ipformation about
their club during breakfast. Members planning a trip to the coast are sure
to be welcomed by the Bay City organization.
WATCH OUT-With fewer day,light hours, in which to run, members are advised
to wear reflective clothinr: or to run in well liRhted, "safe" areas.
