Great, I'll put you in the usual spot on Broadcar Road? Hope that's OK.

[Simon]

Just a reminder... the course marking team (currently myself, Dave Parry , Dave Walker and John Mooney, but all welcome) to meet at 18.30 at the top of Broadcar Road, armed the machete, secateurs, shears, signs, tape and canes. Then retire to the Dunny. Any more volunteers to marshal? ..................Still a few vacant posts................

Tucks, my oversight...of course be great to see you on the setting out trip... We shall be joined by Holly who is involved with the sheepdog trails, new to the area but glad to help out...many thanks Holly. Setting out from Broadcar Road from 18.30 on Friday.

Angela and Brian J, I have added you in to what I think are suitable spots....please let me know if you think otherwise.

Any suggestions as to the placement of folk, please speak up.

Thank you all for mucking in.

Simon,
I'm otherwise engaged on Sat morning from 11am and not sure when I will finish but if I can get to Bullocks lane in time I'm happy to be a dogs body but don't rely on me for anything specific in case I'm late getting there.

[Simon]

Be good to see you whenever Colin.

Just been advised that access to the trials field will only be from London Road and access via Bullocks Lane is not available. It won't effect the race route, just access for parking. So it's access through a gate opposite Macclesfield Audi on London Road....


...just going to get the beer from Wincle. Cheers.

Has the time of the race been brought forward from 2.30 to 1.00?

Have just googled the race and both Bramhall Runners and Spectrum Striders refer on their websites to a 2.30 p.m. start!

Simon

I note also that the Dark Peak website refers to 2.30 but on the Fell Runner Org site it is correctly stated as 1.00 p.m.

Several months ago, the Sheepdog Trial Association asked if the start could be moved from 2.30 to 1.00, as they have the rest of their event to co-ordinate.

I immediately advised the FRA and they altered the website, but of course the paper calender was already out.

I posted on the FRA forum and on Macc that the time had changed.

I am sorry if anyone is put out about it, but it's hard to get to everyone. I shall endeavour to contact the most likely club's today.

Please offer my apologies if anyone asks.

Cheers.

[Julian Brown]

Simon your best bet might be to put something on the fellrunner forum, and if you ask Andy Butler he'll put something on the FRA homepage.

Either that or have another race at 2:30....

Hope it goes well !!

It seems to be mobbed out on the field even now, with tents caravans and so on everywhere.

Think they were swearing in the jury this morning when I went past.

[Neil Gunn]

I have emailed Bramhall Runners and Spectrum Striders with the start time change. I've added a post on the MH&AC Facebook page as well - if any more info is needed on there just shout.

Is it worth contacting all local clubs/Fell clubs and ask them to put a note on their websites? eg Wilmslow,Stockport, Pennine, Glossopdale
