Given the relationship between OSB and the pirates I wonder whether or not it's worth approaching them now as we have 10 teams committed so far and possibly more........
Given our work crewing over the years and the unmistakeable vibe we add they might give us some "guaranteed" team entries....
It took several months to sell out this year. Even if it's a week this year that's still plenty of time to enter as a relay team. I don't think you'll need to swap things about.
Team 1 Redstripe, Ghost, Seren Team 2 SuperCaz, Running Postie, Buttercup Team 3, Tom, Mallowpuff, Hoffmeister Team 4, Silent K, Hope, Persil Team 5: citizen146, Rocco, mathschick Team 6: Soup Dragon, Ginger Ninja, Saffers Team 7 Flat Footed, Wiggins, Posh Twat Team 8: POdds, Allsorts, Ria Team 9: Little Clown, Ironbaws and Lee the Pea
Right spoken to a contact at OSB........when the race opens if there is not an option for relay then can the person registering the team enter as an individual..
Then we can contact her direct and state we are a pirate and she can then transfer the entry to the relay.she will need the team details and obviously the extra payment.......
so I recommend that each team nominate someone to enter them....this person should be on the preregister list.....( anyone who has ever done an event I think).....
Anyone still looking for a swimmer, or at a push a runner? Still trying to sort out holidays for next year, but 95% confident I will be there to support again; and would like to be part of a relay team if there's anyone still looking to make up a team...
Well, it appears we may be submitting a relay team as well.

Excited that I'm in a team...but what do I need to do about it now? Does one person from the team tho whole team (oooo errrr sailor) or is there something magical I need to do?
Knockers - I was going to ask you and Allsorts for an email address at it takes forever typing on FB all the time so we can sort out our entering and payment
I have registered pre interest but as I said previously I will be in deepest darkest France when entries open and may not have internet access so it might be best for someone else to do it.......
If you want to PM me your email (and Allsorts too if she reads this) I'll email you both over the weekend...........
Can anyone point me at the Pre Register Interest page? as I cant find it on the OSB website? probably my age!
Usual osbevents.com site and then use the red arrows (not the flying team) on left and right edges of screen to scroll to the event you want to enter/pre-register and away you go...
29th August I think Podds. I was pre-registered for the half but didn't get any emails so hoping I get the full emails! If not Little Clown is on the case for Team Bawbag*
I did get the half emails so hopefully will also get the full one.........
29th might work for me re internet if my tiny tablet ( which I set up so dog knows if it'll work at any given time given my techno luddite reputation!) does what I want it to!

Good idea Podds Have you just volunteered to get in touch with them?
I think Lovely Linda from OSB will shoot me if i mess her around swapping entries again this year. I'd rather enter as a relay straight off if poss?
i agree....it must be a pain if all these change even before the normal changes
If someone has a contact i will; phone them and chat re lots of teams
I agree that I think they'd rather we didn't try and cheat the system and make loads of changes from indiv to relay......
I wondered if Schmunkee had a dedicated contact as she sorts out all the crewing stuff....
Maybe got a contact here as stolen from the feed station thread...

Awesome If you could let me know Seren as I'm happy to sign up for my team when the email comes out

Next Wednesday for the pre sale for the half I've read.

Thanks Symes!
Welcome, see you there...
Yes pre registered
I am pre-registered too but can't remember when the system opens!!

Thanks LtP

Is this thread just for relay people? Will there be another for those just doing it solo?
