Also The Biathalon was probably the highlight of the last Winter Olympics and was a Saturday lunchtime start.....

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
The way I was thinking is if the FNC was on the Friday, with the R15 (possibly) the next day, I thought it would be too much strain for the competitors, i.e. physical/body wise. Hence the Thursday date.
However listening to your views with regards to accommodation and valuable days off work, I am prepared to move the FNC to Friday 21st February.
Evening events will generally start between 18:00 and 18:30.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
What is going to happen with this ?? http://www.tubeforum.co.uk/forum/index. ... =viewtopic
I was planning to attend and already booked day of work but we are going to have a clash here... Perhaps The Rainbow can be moved
Thanks to Glen for the postponement so as I already have the 21st booked off if we can do the FNC Winter Olympics on the Friday that would be good

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
I've just booked a hotel for myself for the 18th as I'm hoping to see a friend in London on the 19th
Question for the TOSA: How far in advance are you going to post the details of each event? Only wondering as I've just priced coach travel and would like to try and get the tickets while they're still cheap. I assume the events would be around 6PM? (I'm not asking for you to plan it now, just an approximate time so I know what to aim my travel arrangements for). Just wondering as I'd need to be back in VCS for around 11 for my coach home

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
What about the Biathlon can this be switched to a weekend as well?

Re: Tube Olympics 2014 (winter)
As the 15th February is currently trailing in the Random 15: round 4 poll I can move the Biathlon to this day and Tramlink to Tuesday 18th (to avoid having two events on top of each other then a big gap).
I am not a fan of the current Biathlon structure and am thinking of an alternative, but still involving darts in the event.
Therefore the schedule is now:
Event 1: Friday 7th February 2014- Mouse EVENING EVENT
Event 2: Saturday 8th February 2014- Random 15 DAYTIME EVENT
Event 3: Tuesday 11th February 2014- Nordic Combined EVENING EVENT
Event 4: Saturday 15th February 2014- Biathlon (details TBA) DAYTIME EVENT
Event 5: Tuesday 18th February 2014- Croydon Tramlink EVENING EVENT
Event 6: Friday 21st February 2014- Full Network Challenge FULL DAY EVENT
Full details of meet up places/ starting time will be advised in each events' own thread, which will be posted nearer the time.
