Planner’s & Organiser’s Comments
The second run on
this map seemed to be appreciated. From a planning perspective the main
interest is the problem posed by the railway line – especially the level
crossing. From the previous start in the centre of the map the level crossing
only comes into play for the runners on the 75minute course. We aimed to
minimise the potential loss of time by giving competitors the rail timetable –
which worked well but Mike Ormerod claims to have lost 4 minutes!
We selected a new
venue which seemed to be successful from a social, refeshements and smoke-free
perspective. However there is always a downside - limited local eateries and
the hire fee of £30 which together with
the refreshments and maps meant a small loss for this event with a total income
of only £35.
Comments on the
new SROC web forum suggest at least one participant liked this format – what do
the rest of you think? On a more general note we have been particpating in
street events since the very early 1980s and the entry fee has remained at £1
despite our move from public car parks, towards inside venues and the use of
more ‘professional’ maps. Comments on what you prefer as always to the Street
Supremo – Ian Evans.
Congrats to
street ‘novice’ Sarah Fulwood on both coming to grips with the borrowed light
and deposing the usual victorious Roomes in the 30-60 class. If she turns up
more frequently next season, having relocated yet again to the heart of SROCland she would be bookmaker’s favourite
for the most promising newcomer.
Further down this
class we had the tension of who would turn out on top in the battle of the
Greenwood pairings. This time a slight advantage to the ‘youngsters’ Liam and
Linda. Becca Roberts reckons her dad
Chris can’t run fast enough these days but he turned up the speed to gain a
clear victory over Karen Nash. In the 75minutes class, Ali showed everyone a
clean pair of heels getting 17 out of the 20 possible 40 & 50 pointers –
continuing his record of always doing well at Ferguson events. Not doing so
well was Ed Mellor who misread the map and decided to go straight over an
uncrossable field. He started well enough until he mistook an ice covered ditch
for a path and disappeared up to his armpits in rather cold water.
Thanks to Paul
Turner who turned up to help despite being unable to compete on the night
because of his exploits at the British Night Championships the previous
Saturday.
Glenys and Paul
Congratulations
to Ali for his third win, and to Chris Roberts, Moz Kitching and John Ashton
for achieving their best performances of the season. Karen, Glenys and Team Roome now have unassailable leads, but each of the mens age groups could go to
the wire, requiring another top
performance to clinch the titles.
Can I repeat the
request for feedback on all aspects of the Street Events and scoring
system. I certainly found this venue
superb, and was surprised how much more circulation went on than at a pub
après-event. Did anyone move on to the
pub ? Several coffees and a couple of
biscuits, before the locusts cleared up, must
have been better
for my diet than beer and Peter’s crisps and significantly cheaper – so I felt
guilty.
Paul Turner has
done some homework on weatherproof paper which I will circulate for comments. How did he know Edward was interested in
scuba street O ?
