The proposed date, now that I appear to be the organiser.
Discuss.

Good choice.
For a change, I can't join you guys but I will find you lurking in the local alcholic beverage establishment once you are finished.

A plague on boh your houses, Chris, if my exams fall on that day.
But that won't really be your fault, so don't worry too much.

Yes, good point.

Well, clearly we'll be back to try to defend our title!
Will there be another trophy up for grabs?
I think it would be quite feasible to collect a small entry fee to cover actual costs incurred (trohpy, sponge cakes, pain killers and other necessities).
See you all on the 19th of May!

Oh bollocks- I supposed that's up to me, as well!
But yes, there shall be a trophy of some sort!

Everything's up to you now that you've assumed full responsibility! You fool!

But why don't you charge each person taking part just ONE POUND (big money!) and that wil cover a trophy (£15) and any other bits - and any spare cash can go into a whip at the end of the day down the bar. Right?
T'is indeed a good idea!
I'll start looking into stuff properly next week, once I've failed my driving test.

Yes, the small "donation" trick works well in these cases.
Hence my asking everyone in the pub last year to contribute a small amount to cover the food. Four or five of us then paid the balance between us.

A POUND?! Come on Geoff!!!! Thats a bit steep
I might be able to do this day, but it is on a Friday which is THE worst day to do it for me. The time of it is crucial. Any ideas? The earlier the better for me!!

I liked the 12-1-ish approach of last year. Lazy morning (for us tourists anyway) and just early enough to beat the afternoon peek... I think anything earlier than 11 or so would make it impractical. Quite a few participants surely must travel for a while to get to the gathering point.
I vote for the same overall timing as 2005!

Yes, there is no need whatsoever to alter the procedural part of the challenge.
Everything can be identical to last year.

Yeah I agree with the point about travelling. High Noon! About that?! 12-3 for the tube running. presentations at 3:30-4ish and then people can go if they have to work (booo!), or stay and get tanked up!

I appoiny myself "official photographer" since I'm not really involved with organising it this year.
Plus I have a much better camera this year.
