re:the draw

[palkanetoijala31]

Do people want to stick with last years idea that everybody pick 2 stations to be drawn or shall we go back to the old system where 1 of 57 out of 64 (excluding bank/blackfriars and the ones where already started) possible stations will be picked out.your thoughts please

[tubeguru]

OK, here's my thinking on the organisation of this.

Why doesn't the person in charge of organising it just DECIDE what to do instead of asking everyone? If you do that right now at the start then people won't keep posting ridiculous ideas about how to do it, adding unnecessary complications to what is a very simple concept. Now you have asked "your thoughts please", we are now going to get a million different suggestions on how to do this.

Why don't you just tell us what you're going to do and let us like it or lump it? If I kept asking people if I should move posts around or delete inactive users I'd never get anything done on here!

They're my humble thoughts on the organisation of Zone 1 - just do it and tell us what's happening. Too much democracy leads to procrastination.

Yeah do what you think is best Andi; noone would dare cross you anyway!

Seconded, thirded & fourthed... It's your show this year Andi, so just let us know what you decide. I'm happy with last years arrangement or the more traditional open draw.

TOO TRUE! And point taken unless anybody wants to put anything else i will make my own mind up after March 13th has gone by the wayside.

[nozzacook]

[palkanetoijala31]

Nearer the time u will get more information but it be central london around 12am.

Thats the new rules - visit every station in zone 1 using only night buses!

[palkanetoijala31]

Whoops spot the deliberate mistake 12pm then

That sounds like a challenge! If I can make it, I would be interested doing that as a warm-up or warm-down event if anybody else is interested. Could even contact GWR to see if anybody's attempted it before.

Just had a quick look at the night bus map on the tfl website. It looks as though all zone 1 stations have some sort of night bus service. It'll be a zone 1 tube challenge where you are not allowed to use the tube!

[mps247]

It might be quicker to run it though, rather than relying on the night buses.

The Drawer of the Zone 1 Starting station has been confirmed drum roll........

The 2 Time Winner of the Zone 1 challenge Former World Record holder and superb Computer programmer Hakan.
