do you want me (&Neil, my trusty sidekick) to organise it then? i'll do nothing special, same old:

- Noon meet, hat picked station, 1pm start
- Horse & Groom afterwards (cheap beer, function room, food, darts)
- Some sort of trophy

usual rules apply.

there, it's half organised already.

June 4th, then? i'll go and design a logo ...

Sounds good. Keep in mind, however, that Geoff's original Trophy (2005) has since been promoted to a Cup, including engravings. The (unwritten) rules state that whoever gets his or her name there a third time will win it forever. Thus, since 2008, this event is called the Zone 1 Challenge Cup or Z1CC. Currently the Cup is kept by Garion and Andi!

I think Geoff is doing it, and June 4th seems to be popular.

Ooh, I've made a pretty logo:

So, Friday June 4th it is then. Any reason why we shouldn't just do the normal ... ?

1. Meet At Oxford Circus at midday. Register teams/team-names

2. Pick a starting station (not one that has been used before), and all head off to it ..

3. Start in your chosen direction on the first train out after 1pm, keep your own time, be honest, etc ...

4. Meet at the Horse and groom 3-ish hours later, find out who's won ...

5. Eat, drink, quiz, darts, etc ...

The one thing i am confused about is "the cup". Who's got it at the moment? And can it be used again for this year?
