STAR TRECCIES WIN SOUTH ESSEX INSURANCE BROKERS BHS TREC LEAGUE AWARDS

The South Essex Insurance Brokers BHS TREC League awards are to be presented
to the top individual and pair TREC competitors on December 1 at the BHS
North and Yorkshire Christmas Ball.

The league ran throughout the year, and the title of SEIB BHS TREC League
Champions goes to the individual and Pair who posted the best four results
in BHS affiliated competitions during 2001.

Stephen Ramsay from Midlothian will be taking the individual title having
accumulated 58 points, ahead of the 2000 World Champion, David Hay-Thorburn
who finished only two points behind.

The 'Hardy Souls' combination of Natalie Allen from Norfolk and Sarah
Thurnell from Yorkshire who finished the year nearly unbeaten will be
awarded the SEIB BHS TREC League Pairs title. Late starters Vanessa Warren
and Rosalind Wood had an outstanding run throughout the late summer and
early autumn to take second place only five points behind.

Robert Jones, Director of BHS TREC said, "The league, so generously
supported by South Essex Insurance Brokers and the Worshipful Company of
Saddlers, always produces an exciting climax to the year and, even with the
setbacks caused by FMD, 2001 has proved to be no exception. The winners and
their rivals are regularly raising the standards of TREC in this country and
2002 promises to be an outstanding year for this fast developing sport."
