Myles, considering you weren't around/on the forum two years ago, you should be careful of making petty digs when you've only heard one side of the story. The Railway at Kew Gardens had just been booked until others decided to meddle. It's not as if you have to be a member of Mensa or anything to 'organise' it anyway. Select date, choose meeting point and time, pick starting station and of you all go ...

wow. suddenly it all makes sense ...
Hmm isnt that a petty dig at myself and i have heard both sides of the story u think ur right but u must admit u never publicised that information to forum with only 2 weeks to go short notice especially as some members are from far off places and needed the info for train timings for example.
The problem you have Geoff is you are not willing or able to admit sometimes you can be wrong you can have very little respect for people hence what happened zone 1 day 2010 hastily organised by martin Hazel and well done as well i suppose you never thanked any of the people who left zone 1 day specifically to help you on a full network attempt.
Zone 1 day 2012 you should show up seeing as its the only event apart from a full network u seem to hold in regard if myles organises it then we should all be helping him not criticising him he is young and needs some seasoning probably pepper but when is ur age perhaps he be upstanding member of forum.
Geoff was organising it - no one should have interferred. Should Geoff have advertised earlier - knowing how people like to plan their diaries on here - probably. Having taken over organising it, did people do a good job - yes.
Should Geoff make digs at Andi - no. Should Myles make digs at Geoff - no.
Finally, Geoff thanks everyone who helps out on his full network challenges - as does Sam, as I'm sure do you do Andi.

Probably the first time i have ever agreed with what Moley has said (allthough my point was the fact the tube forum grand event of the year where many people take part was slightly ruined by people leaving to support someone who on that day should have had no support on that day and did it in my view just to prove a point to spite the zone 1) Zone 1 2012 should be a grand event and every effort should be made by members to attend and make it a prestigious event again by oldies and newcomers alike.
I really have to thank a few people on full networks in order they are Ian Green lucky mascot Steve Wilson Martin Hazel Sara Wearn Kevin and Anthony Brown Glen John Stark Matthew Scrivin Steven Karahan and some others i have generally forgotten their help
Regarding Zone 1 2012 i think in my own personal opinion a list should go up of people willing to attend despite the date not been decided yet and as a forum moderator that hasnt been seen at a zone 1 for years i think Chris name should be at the top of the list.

The date should be Friday 8th June this year
So is it not 8th June? That's the date I believe I'm busy!

duly noted and reedited getting back to the topic of zone 1 2012 how many stations are left in the hat and when is the last round of r15 championship Mr BERC
Z1 is held on the Friday of the half term week to ensure that our younger challengers have a better opportunity of attending and the R15 date of 9th June was scheduled when the calendar for the championship was put together last year to reflect this as it has become part of the occasion in recent years.
As GKR points out it is slightly later this year due Queens Diamond Jubilee, but often the Z1 Friday is in June anyway........
