Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

A few things for people to think about please!!

Officals!!

Besides the Race Director (which I think is me) - we will need 2 time keepers per race (to record the times), and 2 finish judges (to record the finish order of the runners).

I think it is best if we mix and match all of these.

Stopwatches - if anyone has any - can they bring some? (I'll ask at school as well).

Anything else I think we may need - shout please!

I've got a stop watch, (possibly two, but can't be sure) that I'll bring. Mrs FS will be there - not running yet - so would be able to help "officiate". Plus there'll be people in the different heats I'm sure would "clock" times and "faces" in between their races.

A couple of "Clipboards" wouldn't go amiss - I might also be able to provide some race numbers too, not promising but I think that there were a few left over from our open race last year - or I may still have our club race numbers from the closed league races a couple of years ago that we could use if you think that they'd be useful. They won't be 1 -30 or anything like that but they are all different.

Would they be useful to help with the "identity" of finishers in each heat?? what does everyone think ??
