Not long to go now.... The barriers have started arriving for the start area.... and it looks like it will be cool but dry on the day which is perfect for runners and spectators (and jaffa cakes which won't melt this year!).
Apart from me, who else is turning up around 8am to 'secure' our area?
Hi Guys was trying to send a message via my inbox (the message refused to send) as Mrs Warkie will not be able to attend.I shall still be running and would appreciate a wave/cheer on the day as I will be on my own
Hope the day goes well my number is 8510 and I will have Warkie written on my vest
I think they're just ordinary balloons, but we need loads and loads. From memory, I think they were blue and yellow last year - I don't know if someone had a bulk source? Anyone know?
I've got loads of balloons left over from last year.
Soupy, it would be good to see you however long you can pop in for.
Becks, Running Rodent, XFR Bear and myself will be there early to defend out territory. Last year the only people to invade our area were a couple of policemen that I allowed to stay as they looked quite tasty and made us look official
It was all well and good creating a profile where I was called gizmo..my actual name is Katie - I'll be in orange again - a little fatter than profile but otherwise no change.
Can you bring a knife for cutting up the bananas / oranges / cake etc? I can bring all the other stuff but my knives are new and extremely sharp. I'm not confident about carrying one down with me and arriving without stab wounds in my own limbs.

Isn't that an important part of the wind down for both groups?
De-brief and all that

I bought 300 balloons last year and it looks like I have over half of them left so that should be plenty
Thanks Warkie - any idea of vest colour and arrival time please?
Can someone tell me when expo closes on Saturday? I think it was 5pm last year but I don't want to get it wrong
oh yes if there are tasty policemen keep them
How can I change my pic on here? I look nothing like the person in the pic now, so it's a bit misleading.....
Although SuperCaz and LB know what they are looking for......
I will be wearing a blue Vest and I intend to finish around the 4hr 30 - 5 hour mark,not sure what time I wiould be running by you though
howdy all
Afternoon all! Getting excited

Hoping to run with the RW 4:45 pacers
I'm hoping to with u just after 9ish trains permitting!
Anything urgently needed or shall i just bring jelly babies and jaffa cakes ad usual?
Still not sure which trainers to wear so hope you have a few plasters in case.....
Becks - what I mean is - don't look for the person in my pic as I look nothing like that now!

Camlo, I have 5 packets of compeed. Do you think that will be enough for you?
I bought 2 packets especailly for the marathon and then found three more packs from last year
I have jaffa cakes and jelly babies to drop at expo for you all
Thanks Loon. Are you still running?
