Is there a pre-race social the evening before or have I missed the boat on this? I've been busy and neglected to check this thread that often... If there is, I'd like to go on the list...

Probably won't be able to make the post-race social...

how does the post race thing work, surely we will all be finishing at diff times, do you just arrive when finish and order food or wait for everyone or is it at a certain time?

will be with OH, he will be hungry and since he has been supporting me will need to make sure he is fed (preferebaly with chips so he will do the supporting duties again), I am expecting to be one of the slower ones though!!

Original post from LotTL re post race social:
I need to give The Boundary House a rough idea of numbers wanting food at the pub. Please can you start a list (I know it's still early and your plans may yet change. It's just a rough idea of numbers).

So Hellen, we all just turn up there as and when people finish.

In 2006 many of us waited at the stadium till most of the Fetch and RW finishers had come in. There is a bar there after all ... However, service at the Roundhouse can't handle huge numbers arriving simultaneously so I expect a staggered (and staggering) influx is probably the best idea ...
As long as I get to share Kittenheel Kath's scampi.

The Boundary are aware of the mass invasion. However they are expecting staggered meals as they, or any other pub in the area, won't be able to come with the whole lot of you ordering in one go.

Rach E is kindly co-ordinating the final arrangements for this as I'm kinda busy with the race itself and wont be at the pub afterwards. If everyone is hanging around at the finish until most people are in it may be feasable to op for a buffet instead.
