  • Hi Beders! I have just found out a guy at my running club would love to run Abingdon.  I am not sure whether or not he is on RW, but I am just about to email him, telling him to send all the necessary details (as per p4 of this thread) to you, and I'll mention your mobile number too, in case you are still having computer problems.  I have added him to the list as 'Friend of Runner-Bean'!
    I hope this is ok, and you are happy to contact the next donor and pass it all on to Tracey, (given you clearly know what you are doing?!)

    We all owe you a HUGE debt.  Thank you so much for managing this list.  It is wonderful how many people have got places who otherwise wouldn't have.

    Is your injury still improving and are you hopeful of getting round ok at Abingdon?  Would be great to meet you!image

  • Could I add my name to the waiting list please?  I have just sent you an email thanks.
  • I too have to pull out due to injury, but guess there's still too many donors and not enough runners waiting.  Please let me know if you need my number.  Thanks. 
  • Hi Beders,

    Please would you add me to the list of people lookng for a number.  I have also emailed you at the address you posted above.

     Thank you,

  • Bad news on the computer front I'm afraid everyone, my home PC has died the death, have ordered a new one which I should have by the middle of next week and hopefully they will be able to transfer some info , including e-mails , across from the old one. However !! this does mean we are slap bang up against the middle of the month cut off so not sure if I can get the numbers swapped for the last 3 on the waiting list as I can't get hold of the waiting doners ! However I do know there are enough direct places available but so far race HQ have not replied to my attempts to contact them from this e-mail so i haven't even got a copy of the application form i could send you so you could apply direct. Also of course i would be letting down the doners who were expecting me to arrange a number swap...I can only say sorry guys, my blxxdy blxxdy computer could not have died at a worse time and unfortunately I'm not really a computer boffin...in fact I'm pretty useless  so I will do the best I can to get the last few numbers sorted

     any queries give me a ring on my mob 07957 431189 or my works e-mail /forum/smilies/tongue_out_smiley.gif[/img]eter.bedwell@ridingsfp.co.uk]peter.bedwell@ridingsfp.co.uk

  • opps e-mail posting still not working for some reason, its peter.bedwell*ridingsfp.co.uk with a @ instead of a *...trust that makes sense

    cheers

    beders

  • Hi beders, just popping in to see how your doing? Hope your getting some miles in.

    Out of curiosity, how many places have you help people on here get?

  • I have a place available, Injured and undertrainedimage.

    Just let me know if this is needed or wantedimage

  • i'm already on the donor list - my email is thea@lifestylefirst.co.uk if anyone needs to contact me as i won't be running now as going into hospital image

  • AAARRRGGGHHH just realised that all the people who I'm waiting to confirm to me they have paid the money across to doner i.e. , jim kirkland/steve cliff, paul blackwell/ben sealey, newtess2 fern I'VE LOST ALL MY E-MAILS WITH YOUR DETAILS!! when the computer crashed. I may be able to get them back when my new computer arrives next week and my computer guy trie's to transfer across what he's managed to save however it will be too late by then,  the cut off for number swapping is mid sept !

    therefore can jim, steve, paul, ben and new tezz URGENTLY e-mail me to my works e-mail, peter.bedwell etc as above with their details and confirmation the money has been paid across otherwise you WON'T GET THE NUMBERS SWAPPED

     really sorry about the hassle, damm computers

    cheers

    beders.

  • I hve had a confirmation from Tracey Beders

    image

  • Beders, my cheque to the doner has been cashed, I found my name and number on the entrants  list so I'll see you on the 18th!

    Looking forward to it, thanks loads for sorting it all out. You'r a star!

  • Beders

    Sorry to hear of your computer troubles.

    I cannot thank you enough for getting 3 of my friends into Abingdon, who would otherwise have missed out. I hope you can join us afterwards for the celebrations at Tilsley park - for invited guests, please introduce yourself to me on the day! I will be running round disguised as a 100 year old lady (not a lot of disguise required), wearing the number 100, to celebrate my 100th marathon.

    I hope that you be will injury free, and able to enjoy Abingdon - you have worked so hard to get so many others in.

    Best wishes, NBL

  • Beders

    I have a place available as a friend has sustained an injury. Its very much a last minute offer as I believe all switches have to be complete today. Happy to accept an email tonight if the place can be used. I will act as the go-between and liaise with the Abingdon organiser.

    Regards

    Barry

  • Hi everyone

     Thought I'd just post that the number swapping facility is now closed.

    many apologies for anyone who's missed out getting or donating a number in the last week or so when my computer died

    I hope all the ones who did get a number have a great race !!

    ironically my problem with my leg has not really improved and my running has been very sparodic, will be jogging round the GNR on sunday to make it 10 on the trot which will probably give me a good indication as to wether running the Abingdon is a pipe dream or possibilty...will let you know !!

    cheers

    beders

  • Beders, Many thanks for all your hard work getting every one in that you did. I real hope to see you there on the big day. Good luck with GNR.

    Thanks Againimage.

  • Hi everyone,

    I have a place for the Abingdon Marathon.  I am untrained and still nursing a stress fractureimage.

    Not sure if anyone can use this place now as it is so late.

     Let me know.

  • Hi everyone,

    I have a place for the Abingdon marathon.

    If anyones interested get back to me.

     Cheers

  • Hi

    I take it there is no way of getting into this now then?  I always fancied this, but did Berlin instead...I would love to have a crack at this though.  I know it's late in the day!

    Good luck to those running.

  • Hi I have a place available, (is there still a waiting list or have most people now found places?)- I haven't gone through all the posts.
  • Hi, I have a place available if folks are still looking for a spot.  Hate to give it up, but I have a foot injury that just isn't going to be better in time!
  • Hi, i have a place available if any one is interested.............
  • Hi everyone, I hope the training has gone will for you all, only 10 days to go so the best part of training starts the tapering.  If anyone is interested in a B&B for the 17th I know of a room avaliable at the:

    B&B Rafters, Abingdon Road, Marcham, Oxfordshire, OX13 6NU telephone 01865 391298, £69 for a double room. 

    See you all on the 18th, take care image

  • Hi Gang

     haven't been on for a while, too damm busy at work, sorry to all those who've offered their numbers or asked for a place recently, miiniemo, kacwins etc, but I'm afraid the swap facility fnished in the middle of septemer so that's it for this year, hope you have better luck next year.

    jogged round the GNR  in 2.06 fastlegs, my slowest time ever buyt my legs felt pretty ok so reckon I'll be giving it a go jogging round at Abingdon on the 18th, you may have to wait 5 hours or so if you want to ]wave me in though !!!!

    hope everyone has a great race, see you there

    cheers

    beders
