There's a bit of the course where you pass the finish and he started giving a speech there, too. (He's not my MP so I can be free with my judgements.... we live just over the border in the next constituency :))

The RD (me!) had a big night out on Friday, and didn't make it.... Seriously mortified, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to show my face again!!! However the ED was there, they did it all with no scanners or stop watches, I think they used a mobile phone and written times. (They did have some equipment that is stored nearby in container, but laptop, scanners etc were charging at mine.....) I can't actually believe it, I say I can't show my face again, but I'm RD this weekend again so gonna take the humiliation on the chin.... I Best Buy extra big tubs of sweeties

Don't stress it just buy chocolate I have no idea how many times I have volunteered as we never cared to count it back in the day but we did once run a parkrun with 2 volunteers and I still ran. Good job I used to be quite fast.
