Racing Club Warwick F
In sport, racing is a competition of speed, in which competitors try to complete a given task in the shortest amount of time. Typically this involves traversing some distance, but it can be any other task involving speed to reach a specific goal. A race may be run continuously to finish or may be made up of several segments called heats, stages or legs. A heat is usually run over the same course at different times. A stage is a shorter section of a much longer course or a time trial. Early records of races are evident on pottery from ancient Greece, which depicted running men vying for first place. A chariot race is described in Homer's ''Iliad''. Etymology The word ''race'' comes from a Norse word. This Norse word arrived in France during the invading of Normandy and gave the word ''raz'' which means "swift water" in Brittany, as in a mill race; it can be found in "Pointe du Raz" (the most western point of France, in Brittany), and "''raz-de-marée''" (tsunami).

Boldmere St
Boldmere is a suburban village and residential area of Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, England. It is bordered by New Oscott, Sutton Park, Wylde Green and Erdington, and is in the ward of Sutton Vesey. History Toponymy "Boldmere" is a corruption of the word "Baldmoor", coming from the Middle English ''bald'' (meaning ''" a white patch"'') and the Anglo-Saxon ''moor'' (meaning ''" boggy land"''). Therefore, Boldmere literally means a "bald moor"; a treeless patch. ''Bald'' (meaning ''" bold"'') was also a personal name used by the Anglo-Saxons. Name history At the time of John Speed's 1610 atlas ''The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine'', Boldmere was known as Cofield Wast. The area was described as "an open, wild and windy expanse, covered with gorse". The United Kingdom Census of 1841 refers to the area as Baldmoor Lake, which was once a body of water south of the Chester Road.
