Boing!
No recent contact from Pacesetters, but it'll be coming soon! Remember to put it in your diaries please!
Cheers, Siggy
Course update - they've re-tarmacced the roads round a fair chunk of the course (Whitwell to Oakham and Oakham to Uppingham) so it should be a bit smoother. And nicely done it enough in advance that the loose grit should be cleared by race day!
Soupy and Lee the Pea are in the process of changing to a relay team with me doing the bike, so its smackdown time between me and Mrs SA
I had forgotton about this.........relay seems a good option........or maybe just enjoy a long walk in the park.......
is the swim in waves or all at once
Was certainly waves last year - I think four in total.
Seren it's in waves
and goose shit
I'm down for ths as well!!
Afternoon everyone, Just 'boing' this so people can get their names down again to confirm.
Unfortunately, due to a change in personal circumstances I won't now be able to organise the Pirate Feed station. If there is someone who can step into the breech please! I'll pass on all details to Mark at Pacesetters who emailed me earlier in the year.

Can you take myself and Jordy off the supporting bit as I'm doing the bike leg of a relay now
I'm just doing the swim so can support afterwards.
Al will be there supporting again
i think he was supporting me last year - in the pub

Just booked my camping pitch for the Friday and Saturday nights for Vitruvian Man with Anglian Water. 12 quid a night. They said they can't guarantee placing people together unless they book as a group, but if you were to book 2 nights, they said its likely we'd be pitched in the same area.
Thanks SaintB.will get onto that
Suffolk Punch has had to drop out as the fool has broken his foot (running btw). We might be up to scream or support but depends on the fracture clinic on Thursday.
Hmmmm... girlfriend won't camp... need to find a hotel/BnB nearby that is close enough to get to the day before without a car... any suggestions?
any suggestions....change the girlfriend
GB.... what sort of quality/budget? I live close by, so can probably recommend something... PS... nowt in walking distance, so it'll be a ride at least
Ffs tell her its glamping
Hi Golden Boots - I'm guessing you'll be ending up in Oakham or Stamford if you are looking for a hotel or B&B, unless you want to pay Barnsdale prices (which is just about walkable from Whitwell, and would probably please the girlfriend, but might dent the bank balance - http://www.barnsdalehotel.co.uk/).
Hotel in Oakham depends on budget - there's a few, ranging from B&B to pub B&B to a reasonably decent hotel in the Whipper Inn. I've been surprised for a long time that no Oakham hotel bothers to offer packages during the Dambuster or Vitruvian.
There's a circular Rutland Water bus (http://www.rutland.gov.uk/transport_and_streets/public_transport/shorelink_tourist_bus.aspx) that would probably get you from Whitwell back to Oakham on the evening of the day before, and if you give us a yell we can probably give you a lift back in the morning as we're coming from Oakham anyway. PM me if that's any use.
Hi paperman... thank you for all of that... will look into ome of the stuff... currently I think we have a room booked at Barnsdle... definitely not my decision
. Having a look at other options though and may send you a pm 
Boing
Just wondering if anyone has agreed to take on the role of Feed station organizer? As Siggy has had to drop out.
I don't think there's a huge amount to do tbh! Just co-ordinate the Pirate posse for Pace Setters, supply a few numbers and co-ordinate the Pirate support on the day!
Come on, roll up Pirates!!
I can coord if you like, as i'm not taking part, just supporting. Heading to bed shortly, but will catch up on the thread completely tomorrow, and if you're happy for me to organise i'll do it
I had already spoken to LT{don't know her RW name} at the weekend , Lee. She has agreed to take on the job. Sorry :-/
No problemo! Glad you have someone, i was just happy to help if no-one had offered. I'll be helping out on the feedstation (or whereever i'm needed) anyway
Nick .... her Forum name is Littleclown.
Lee / Soupy
Did we get the relay team sorted or not?
Still up for the bike and could possible do the run
