I've even booked my accommodation for Hamsterley forest - will be able to stay at my parents in Newcastle for all the other events.

I'm not doing the tour of Northumbria but that's mainly to do with my shift patterns. I will be doing two of them though.

Has anyone heard anything about amended results for the Town Moor 10k? I know a lot of people were querying their times. I'm a bit cheesed off that I'm not even in the results. Good job it wasn't a PB and I was wearing my Garmin. I know these races rely on goodwill and volunteers, but I'm not minded to run it again.

Nope, Scribbs, I also spoke to a number of people at our end of the race whose times were not right. I spoke to the club sec and e-mailed him and also e-mailed the guy responsible for the results last week with your name and time but have heard diddly squat so far.

That is a bit meh. The only race we've done where they had a problem with results, they at least contacted us to say that there was an ongoing problem. Hope it sorts :(

I think that really sucks. Mistakes are made but generally can be sorted out. To not even respond is terrible. I am a Club Sec & would never not respond - even if the response was sorry we've mucked up & can't sort it, or we're looking into it. The same thing happened with the Elswick Cup. The results were well out then & not changed. Boo to the organisers! :-(

Thanks Mick. I don't want to be a moaning Minnie about this, but chances are there are other mistakes and maybe other people won't say anything, but would stay away and not recommend the race.

You do right to moan Scribs. You paid enough to enter & should be on the bliddy results.
