The Athlone Flatline 2016 - Half Marathon by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from the fifth running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon which was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 10th September 2016 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Over 900 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. No stone was left unturned in the organisation of the race. The flat course brings runners into both Connaught and Leinster as the route takes runners on a flat rural country route for 8 miles before joining the old N6 Dublin Galway road. After a mile or so the race turns back onto country roads towards the finish.

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs

We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?

The explaination is very simple.

This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.

Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Congratulating the new Undisputed Champion by teegamer84

4 1

My wife Nikki makes me feel so special. She nursed my remaining cuts and bruises from my last match and let me know how proud she is of me.

She's now pregnant with our second child. I know what I do can be dangerous, but she supports me. And I promise to always come home to her and our family. She will be waiting for me with loving arms open for me. A smile on her face and love in her heart.

This right here...is why I do what I do.

Kadina Town Hall by aquilareen

Foundation stone 28 Apr 1880 by Capt Thomas Anthony, Superintendent of the Kurilla Mine, architect John Gaskell, reading room opened 28 Jul 1880, hall & council chambers opened 25 Jun 1883 by Governor W C F Robinson. Clock tower opened 10 Jul 1903, architect T R Heath; the clock was a gift of Daniel Riccard Squibb.

“The building now being erected was that portion of the Institute to be used as a Reading Room.” [Wallaroo Times & Mining Journal 1 May 1880]

“The contractor for building the Kadina Institute has commenced the work. The excavations for the foundations have been made, and they afford a good idea of the capacity of the hall, which when finished, will be one of the largest out of Adelaide.” [Wallaroo Times 23 Aug 1882]

“Piano for the Kadina Institute.— This instrument, which was selected in Adelaide by Mr F. W. Gurner, and tried by Mr J. N. Lewis, arrived per train on Thursday last, and was conveyed to the Institute Reading Room on Friday morning, where it was unpacked. Several lady friends were present and pronounced it a really first-class instrument. It is a ‘grand square’, and cost, we understand, one hundred and seventy guineas.” [Wallaroo Times 21 Apr 1883]

“Opening the Institute. On arrival at the building a large crowd was assembled in front, and it was then found that ‘some person unknown’ had the key, and consequently His Excellency had to enter by one of the side doors. After viewing the interior for a few minutes, the person possessing the key arrived, and Sir William then returned to the front entrance, and walked up the centre of the hall, which, was quickly thronged by an eager crowd. . . The Minister of Education (Hon J. L. Parsons) . . . congratulated the committee on the fact that too much had not been spent in needless ornamentation — they had taken care to procure what was useful first, and the ornamental could be got by and by.” [Wallaroo Times 27 Jun 1883]

“A letter was received from Mr. D R. Squibb, who is presenting a town clock to the town, stated that he had ordered the clock through Messrs. Harris, Scarfe; & Co., and that it would arrive in about five months.” [Register 16 Aug 1902]

“The town council of Kadina have decided to erect a clock tower at the Town Hall at a cost of about £500. When complete this structure will contain a large and handsome clock, presented by Mr. D. R. Squibb, of Norwood, who for many years resided at Kadina. . . The clock, which will cost Mr. Squibb £300, will have four faces, and will chime at every quarter and strike at every hour. The tower when complete, will be a great improvement to the town, which already contains some substantial and handsome structures.” [Advertiser 17 Oct 1902]

“The clock tower at the Town Hall is now completed. . . The makers of the clock were Messrs, Gillett and Johnson, of Croydon, near London. The clock was placed in position by Mr. Mankey, of Adelaide, and keeps splendid time. A small brass plate is fixed on the clock case announcing that it was a gift from Mr. D. R. Squibb, in 1903.” [Advertiser 24 Jun 1903]

“The opening of the clock tower . . . During the day many visitors ascended the tower, from the top of which, a splendid view of the surrounding country can be obtained. The tower was handed over and received by the Mayor on behalf of the residents. A concert was held in the Town Hall in the evening.” [Advertiser 14 Jul 1903]

“The entertainment in the Kadina Town Hall . . . In the early part of the programme the clock was formally handed over to the town by Mr P. Jackson on behalf of Mr Squibb, who was unable to be present on account of illness. He gave the history of the gift, dating from September, 1901, up to the time of its erection, and said that Mr Squibb desired him to say that it afforded him great pleasure to be able to present the people of Kadina with some tangible token of his gratitude for the many favors bestowed on him during the 21 years he resided here.” [Kadina & Wallaroo Times 15 Jul 1903]

“Mr. Squibb was born in England in 1839, and arrived in South Australia four years [sic] later with his parents. He resided near Adelaide for several years, subsequently spending several years in Queensland. Returning to this State, he settled at Kadina in 1868, where in due course he entered into partnership with the late Mr. Richard Parkyn as coachbuilders and wheelwrights. Mr. Squibb retired about twelve years ago. He takes an active part in the public life of his township, and is a much respected citizen.” [Adelaide Observer 24 Oct 1903]
