The Club started the new track season in Division 4 East of the Southern Men's League, with a solid third place .We narrowly missed out on second place by a mere 4 match points. The overall results were Luton first with 135 points, Highgate second 126, Walthamstow third 122, and Hertfordshire Phoenix fourth with 81.

As expected, fashion journalist's and photographers from Milan were on hand to view the new Walthamstow running apparel. Kit designer Dey {Diego to his close friends} Wilson commented '' the red flash across the black represents to me a vision I had of actually training by myself before breakfast as the sun rose''. His fashion 'friend' Rob said '' runners are a bloody tight lot - what do you expect for £25 ?''
