Takes a few days to do the masters then I have 170 disks to write (2 per order). Was hoping to post the first ones by thurs or fri just gone but it will be Monday now before I can start getting them out as it is time consuming and I have been struggling with work last week.
Right .... slightly later than I had hoped but the last of them will be in the post by tomorrow.
You should all have them by Saturday, unless you live somewhere barking mad like Scotland, Ireland, Holland or Afghanistan.
My computer has told me that every disk is correctly written. I have checked odd ones but not every one as that would take too much time. If you have a faulty disk firstly make sure you are not playing it in an ancient dvd player that won't read the format. Secondly if you still have problems let me know and I will mail you another. No need to mail the old one back.
Occasionally posties steal the dvds mistaking them for hardcore porn. On the odd occasion I have found that the only way to get dvds to a particular address is to send it recorded. If I send two to you and they don't get there I will send the third recorded.
Oh, and your disks have been mailed out based on what you told me your gun times were. If you find you have got it wrong let me know and I will post out the disk you need.
They are all in the post. A few of them had to go second class large but most have gone first class.
Occasionally I have seen the post office will try to claim the postage is underpaid. It is not, if they try this on with anyone argue the toss. I have had them all checked at my local P.O.
Thanks Alex got mine this morning, only watched myself crossing the line on the red button coverage. Will watch the full coverage some other time. Good luck with future fundraising Alex
A bit late, but just wanted to thank you for the DVD which arrived a few days ago! I had forgotten I'd ordered it from you, and for a few moments (can tell I've been watching too much US TV!) thought someone had spotted me or someone I know up to no good and was anonymously sending me the evidence on DVD, but it eventually dawned on me
Great stuff and much appreciated - you're a star!!
That's what I was scared of!! As far as I knew, nothing - heck, we'd both been out the country for 2.5 weeks (flew to the US just after the marathon!) so we'd be even more in the clear given the postmark was Wales, but it didn't stop me feeling irrationally guilty.. hehe!
Hi Alex - are you still doing the vlm 2010 finish line, been meaning to ask bit late! Only info is 3hr.42min but will ask partner once again bout gun time.

Hi Alex,
THANKS my DVD arrived this morning and I am official elite athlete wannabe having watched my line finish several times - sad I know.
I hope that you do not end up out of pocket and that your fundraising continues to be successful. Once again this is a fantastic idea and thank you,
Mel.
Hi Alex,
Received my copy in Germany today so many thanks. Last year you sent it to me in Afghanistan, this year Germany - wonder where I'll be next time!
Cheers,
Tone
