HappyG(rrr) Nov 2012 3:21pm, 6 Nov 2012 18,413 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) It's so funny, cos AliB's rules (the list Lintie posted) cover all these things we're talking about - clubmate of mine this year was getting some sleep in the car at Balmaha. Her runner (Fionna) came in ahead of time (she ran a stormer) and they were fast asleep. Alarm clock woke them up 5 mins after she had left the check point (having been serviced by another crew - also club mates!) It's all there in there in those "Dos and Don'ts" :-)G

Bonio Nov 2012 9:28pm, 6 Nov 2012 171 posts	Quote Pin Bonio Happy, you forgot to add that when phoned Fionna's crew were parked one car away from the crew that saw her through Rowardenan! Led to very funny phone call...
Bonio Nov 2012 9:34pm, 6 Nov 2012 172 posts	Quote Pin Bonio My question about accomodation is based on whether the crew will want to sleep in the afternoon, after goblet time and before the pub... And finding somewhere for them. What is the experience of other slower teams. Yes, I will have two teams, hubby and son in law for first half. Running buddies for 2nd and slower half.
