Foxy Davy Jul 2009 10:13pm, 29 Jul 2009 5,980 posts	Quote Pin Foxy Davy There are discusion around having a Recce & induction for new TiT's coupled with a presentation dinner for previous years TiT's & presentation of permanent numbers, El bee is 16,Tango 17, V'rap 19 & I'm 21. So all the new TiT's will be guaranteed a number under 40. the numbers are based on your final day finishing position, basically the moment you cross the line day 10 you join the club in order.

Naomi P Jul 2009 6:08am, 30 Jul 2009 2,810 posts	Quote Pin Naomi P Thanks Nightjar District Double then for you?? Probably a good idea to recce the course, just so you know how significant the hills are, and the route (I presume it's not marked during the week?). It's fairly straightforward (keep the lake on your left), but there are a couple of turns that are easy to miss, as FD knows! Hope the induction / dinner doesn't clash with the Portland Endurance Life marathon on 23rd Jan......
