Simple solution, Kevin rings up the H&G to cancel the booking he made and Geoff carries on organising the event as he would like. This all seems a bit pathetic and childish to me.

As with most things - the solution is simple.

I believe it is the principle of the matter that is the issue.

Housekeeping:

Geoff has asked for his account to be deleted and his posts retained. I have done both.

Neil, you will need to delete (or amend) Geoffs first post in this thread in which he asks entrants to email him. If he is no longer wanting to organise this years event we need to be sensible and find a new organiser. We also need to get a new email address for entrants to register. I guess anyone interested in organinsing should make it known here. Any takers?

I've amended the first post in this thread with a note. Here's that note to save you going back to page one:

As of the 15th of May 2010 Geoff is no longer a member of this forum. He is also no longer organising this year's Zone 1 challenge. I will ask Geoff if he can supply me a list of those who have already entered, and I can then pass that on to whoever takes up the mantle as organiser. If he has not kept a list of people then I'm afraid you'll either have to do it again or just turn up. The new organiser will have to decide on that.

Hopefully Geoff will be able to email me a list of people we have so far. I'll then pass it on.

I'd also like to point out that whilst I will not be taking part on the 4th of June (I start work at 03.45 or something equally stupid), I will be finished work at 10.28 and will be able to attend the opening ceremony and draw the starting station as originally planned, if no one has any objections to that.

I can also be in the pub to receive people as they start returning from their runs, as I have done on previous occasions.

Thank you Neil, I'm sure that whoever takes over will be very grateful for your help in both drawing the station and welcoming teams back to the pub.

The convention is that the winner of last years event organises the one the following year. Last years winners were Andi & Garion (who were the organisers last year) with myself only just being beaten by them, thus slipped down to 2nd place. In addition, I would also enjoy the challenge of getting everything right for the big day.

So, I would like to raise my hand to be Z1 organiser 2010. What does our survey say?

Hello Neil, if the majority agree with my appointment as organiser then all existing arrangements will be be honoured, including you Neil as start station drawperson and end result collater (not the most fancy of titles but they do fit the bill).

Without trying to sound obtuse, but when is a "majority" reached? I only ask because I'd like to sort out my arrangements now it's near enough for me to know that I'm probably coming, now that the event is back on. I'm not in a great rush towards an answer, but one fairly soon would be nice.

I promise you I'm not trying to be awkward, I'm just trying to grapple the situation!

Best of luck with it all Tangy!
