A comment from Keith Donald #83160
I would like to thank you and your team for the outstanding event at Nuneaton a couple of weeks ago. It was so enjoyable: great venue, great racing, warm welcome and outstanding organisation.
I competed only in 1 event, but I shall do more next year.
I know how much time goes into the preparation for such events; they can be so time-consuming, but I do want to express my thanks and appreciation for the quality of the championships. Thanks so much, and well done.

Thanks

Posted by Paul Edwards | June 9, 2012, 8:54 amHi Paul, Collin Green who dealt with the entries has to my knowledge sent all the numbers out. You are definitely on the entry list. Please come along anyway, I shall be handing some numbers out to certain athletes. I will in the meantime email Collin so that he know you have not received your numbers.
See you tomorrow,
Tom

Posted by William Scott | May 30, 2012, 1:42 pmHi William, Sorry for delay in approving your comment, I have been on holiday. Our T&F Secretary should be sending out the information you require when he acknowledges your entry. As soon as I myself have this information I will get it on this website. I suspect it will be similar to last year. See you on the 10th.
Tom
