ORGANISER’S COMMENTS
My desire
as organiser was to make sure you as competitor had everything you needed from
the moment you started to follow the travel directions to the point you pulled
away from the car park, that made you feel as relaxed
as possible before taking part in a championship race. The choice of having a
warm building for the results and simple prize giving was high on my list and I
hope that trying to keep “instant” visibility of your result (was for the most
part) well received. It certainly meant you could very quickly decide if you
needed to run off to a corner to hide.
A big
thank-you must go out on your behalf I think to the many members of the club
who put in many hours standing at the start/finish area, worked to make sure
you were successfully parked or handled your results processing. A number of
the runners do not run at night, so I really appreciated their support in
giving up a Saturday afternoon and evening.

Controllers Comments
From the overheard comments at assembly it would appear that
competitors had a challenging experience at Mytchett
in the dark. Paul had set 'no compromise' courses in keeping with the standard
that might be expected for a National Championships. As you will realise Southern Navigators can
organise most things but not the motions of the sun
and stars hence the only organisational glitch of the
sun not setting quickly enough which in turn resulted in race time being
delayed by 30 minutes. My thanks go to all the officials for their work before
and during the event to make it a success.
