Hmmm, if that is the case, I think Gaia would love some Guiness

To offer a decent prize for the best marshall. As we used the army cadets last year, some of them were pretty young which in turn means many did not turn up on the day!!

 Have a word with the local cadet assistant administaor. They should be doing as agreed as marshaling counts towards the community parts of the cadets work. No comunity work, no "fun" stuff.

Need someone with knowledge of VHF to deal with walkie talkies on the day - and to organise this aspect of the race.

 Ex-army signaler! Can I help???

Don't tell me you were in the TA Taff? Or was it the proper army?

[Deleted User]

TA hann.

Officer cadet but got taught radios to help out. Only fair, it was signals unit!

Unknown

Yeah, you tell me about the TA, hobby soldiers they are

[Deleted User]

hobby soldiers they are

Paid me whilst in Uni! Got holidays in gibralter, sennybridge and dorset.

Unknown

Sennybridge, how exciting! Only  few miles up the road from home

Unknown

LOL, I was asked to join the TA. Minor snag being that I was 10 years older than the bloke thought I was, so I was too ancient to join and that I am a Dutch national LOL! And not sure what it means for the TA that hey want the likes of me...

I know some of the farmers up that way as well. Pity the place is so bloody cold! You run "church hill"?

Unknown

I don't run there Taff, it is up the road from you, a little bit further from me I think... is it steep? Oh and I am seriously thinking of entering the 24hrs road race there, which apparently is very hilly? Trying to work out ho it compares with the Gospel Pass... any thoughts?

[Deleted User]

Tri Taffia - Re the V.H.F. help required, I had better clarify that we're looking for someone who wouldn't be running. The problem is that mobile phones don't work from the other side of the hill. A walkie-talkie is fine from the far side to the roundabout but not down to race H.Q. So last year we posted a man at the roundabout to relay messages from the far side to H.Q. in case of any problems. This worked fine but of course he (or she) needs to be there from the start until everyone has passed about 5 K.
Many thanks for the offer but we'll probably be able to use one of the cadets for the job - it's just a case of getting one familiar with using a simplex system beforehand.

[Deleted User]

LOL Shaun I was going to say use the cadets! Should be radios in stores and a few seniors that can use them.

[Deleted User]

Has anyone entered yet?

Do2

Unknown

[Deleted User]

I'll enter this week sometime...

Then I can't get out of it...

Maddy.

I need to get my hands on someones printer

Unknown

Mine? actually, Maddy, I think we may have spare one hanging about that we don't use, let me check for you tomorrow...

[Deleted User]

Entered!!!

Maddy.

Han a friend locally has a spare as well I just need to get hold of him - I am not even sureif mine is completely dead but as it is about 7 years old I think it might be

Maddy.

But thanks anyways

Unknown

Sounds likely that it is dead, and yes a local one is easier!

Maddy.

His is spare because his wife didn't like the one that came with their computor - still doesn't worry me

Maddy.

Mine has been peed on by a cat as well so clearly drowned before it died of old age

Unknown

LOL cats and computers and all that sort of stuff...

Unknown

Ours is spare for a similar reason Maddy. Dell tends to give you free printers when you buy a new computer, and we already have two laserprinters and one travelling printer...
