Controller's Comments

I begin by apologising to the competitors who ran the Light Green course; it was too long,
as the finish times and the number of people who retired, show. The same can be said about
the brown course although most did complete their run.

This was Fern's first effort at planning a colour coded event and I wanted the courses to
be hers as it is all too easy for the controller to end up planning the courses for an
inexperienced planner. I only suggested changes where I thought controls or legs were too
difficult for the course; in particular my main concern were the courses for the juniors.

This event did take a lot more controlling than any other I have been involved in. I only
saw the courses three and a half weeks before the event, and then the planner was away on
holiday for two weeks. This meant that only a few days were available before the printers
deadline to get everything approved and I must thank Bill Brown for his last minute work
in getting the courses drawn up and doing the amendments to the map.

Overall I think Fern did a good job, and if Rempstone was more runnable than it is, then
I am sure the finish times on all her courses would have been nearer the BOF guideline times.

At least the weather was excellent. As I write this (on Monday 9th) I hear on the local news
that the Swanage area had three inches of rain in four hours today! I would like to thank all
the Wessex Club members, not forgetting the String course, for making everything run smoothly
on the day, including not issuing start times at registration, which seemed to work well.

Finally a thank you to Julie for organising the event and for the gift she gave me on the day,
cheers!

Planner's comments.

As this was the first event I have planned, I wanted to do as much of it by myself as I could. This proved to be very difficult with school commitments, holidays, out of school commitments and helping to organise my mums surprise birthday/engagement with Trevor Bridle. Which went very well, many thanks to those that made it, sorry so many of you had prior commitments.

Planning an event took far longer than I had ever imagined - you may think that you've planned your courses and everything is fine but then it all gets checked, double checked, changed, checked and double checked again, and all of this with a deadline for the printers, as we where using over printing for the event - it was madness. Anyway it got done!

Many thanks to everyone that helped me out. In particular Neil Underwood (controller) for being patient with my course, Bill Brown (technician) for not strangling me, though I know he wanted to many times. Charlie Morton (assistant planner) for doing most of the leg works for me, for which I am most appreciative. Also to all of the victims that so kindly helped me collect in controls, including some from Wimborne.

I hope everyone enjoyed the event, even if the courses where a little challenging!! It was certainly a learning curve for me.

Finally I'd like to say well done to Julie Astin for her excellent organisation, making he day run very smoothly indeed and also putting up with me as a planner.

Organiser's Comments

As Neil has mentions in his Controller's comments, this event ran on a bit of a tight schedule, but I had faith in all my Club colleagues, and Neil, that it would all pan out in the end. My faith was justified and the day turned out to be one of the most relaxing that I have experienced as an Organiser! The weather certainly helped, and having seen TV footage of the flooding in Swanage on the next day, I believe that we were blessed indeed!

I was particularly pleased that our "new" system of not allocating Start times to competitors seemed to work very well. Everyone appeared to be very relaxed, with no worries about calculating how much time they would have to allow to get changed, go to the toilet and get to the Start. No bottlenecks occurred at the start as far as I am aware, although there is the potential for this with a much larger number of competitors. I am sure that a way can be found around this though, and I hope that we can now bid farewell to the system of queuing up at Registration cars at entry-on-the-day events.

Any feedback from competitors would be welcomed on this.

Finally, I must say a big thank-you to all our wonderful, and enthusiastic Club members who all "mucked in" and made the day such a success.
