IMO it would be better to focus on this - the promo through races in 2011 and then another event in 2012 - after all, Olympics year too.
As much as I like the idea of organising a route and runners along the North Downs, etc..i/we would still need to encourage others to join us. I'm always harping on to mates not to do the same events each year, especially the London Marathon, so I should heed my own advise and skip a year.
If, sorry when, Barry is with me he'll be joining me on most of my runs and hopefully my enthusiasm will entice other members of my club to join us "next time".
I'm still willing to carry on with Zone F/1 if needed but I'm much more in favour of individual events rather than a relay this year.
Stu - Keep on writing the book. I'll def. buy a copy. Was the Bushmills you wanted Malt
or blended 
?
Malt Strag
Will re-start on book after New Year. Deleted it but got 80% back from email I sent being sent back-phew!!
Aim to have it ready by May/June but could be longer.
Defo focus on doing next event 2012 I say. The breathing space we will have will do us all good
nowt is settled yet. We have another on main thread question the idea of taking a year out . Guess who answers the awkward questions? (if others answered it would look more egalitarian ) . Tis a bit of a farce and am waiting for Brian Rix to pop on without his pants-lol
I personally feel next year as a break is great, as I said
I think we really do need to decide whether next year or 2012. It will have to be made known on 2011 thread unfortunately. Sooner decide something concrete than keep the hit/miss scenario going too long.
If no voices are heard apart from a few we will be open to accusation that only the views of a few count (see LoA's post-)
Please, can someone tell me where Baz is residing as i need him to accompany me on a race on 28thy Dec and again on New Years Day ( the later was booked!)
R on a s:-Good to see you back. Post your message on the main LEJOG thread.
I'm still on the fence, still not sure which side I'm going to fall, but it's looking more like wait until 2012!
I think there is very little appetite for 2011 after what has gone on. Folks have kept away. With the loss of 2010 website - overall impression is -it aint gonna be fun at all.
2012 will be better and we can protect ourselves from what happened by then.
Let us enjoy 2011 and Barry's ventures
OK with me. I would have a lot to offer and as usual my eagerness would probably turn into stress. Jan to mid April is my busy period at work and I'm hoping to go to Milan for their marathon on Apr 10th. Maybe Barry would like to join me?
cannot see why not Strag
My eagerness does that to me too
next 12 months can get us straightened out on some fronts too
Hi for what its worth
I think its a good idea to have a break and let everyone just enjoy Baz at individual events, my queriesare though;
How can we promote him properly without a website, would any kind soul like to develop a simple one?
How are we going to keep track of where Baz is in order to request his presence ot an event?
Got a kind soul in the pipeline Glad
Just hang your horses
see main thread for 2011 for details of what has happened
1/ have to be a coaster.
2/ Have to use "Special Delivery" to post Barry on (he is valuable) or pass on by hand
3/ Priority to British Events
4/ A ballot for Barry if two runners are doing races on same date.

Just a quick post then back to work. sent Barry special delivery at 13:24 today.
You can check his progress by entering this No Ref No AR165529055GB in this link it should arrive before 13:00 tomorrow .
Woody -Just one point to add on the criteria for conflicting events. If someone has already run with Barry this year then shouldn't the other person have the nod?
Unless their are more requests between 13 th Feb and May, Barry can come with me to Milan on 10th April.
I can't belive no-one wants to take him around VLM.
1/ Have to be a coaster.
2/ Have to use "Special Delivery" to post Barry on (he is valuable) or pass on by hand
3/ Priority to British Events
4/ In the event that two runners are doing races on same date, priority will go to the runner that has not run a previous Diary event. or a ballot If both runners have equal claim.
